Misery Index · Euphoric · ▲ from 15
3-0 and still haunted by Georgia Southern, Nebraska fans want a real opponent before they trust any of it.
What happened
Nebraska handled North Dakota 34-7 and moved to 3-0, which in most places would pass for a pleasant September. Here it registered as unease. The turning point wasn't a play; it was the moment the outcome stopped being in doubt and the fanbase had nothing left to do but think. One fan noted that "3-0 is nice but would've liked to be at least somewhat tested in the nonconference and play some real competition." Another simply remembered: "we lost to georgia southern 4 years ago." Winning has not yet cured the memory.
