5-0 and up 25, yet the room is still litigating the one targeting flag the Big Ten saved just for them.
The emotional rollercoaster
Nebraska fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Nebraska won 48-23 over Maryland and moved to 5-0, which somehow registered as a worse week than the last one, misery climbing from 51 to 70. The turning point came when Maryland abandoned the run, a choice one fan called "pretty baffling" while admitting the prediction landed. That left the fanbase free to focus on officiating, specifically an offensive targeting call that prompted the observation that "the big ten fucking hates Nebraska so much lol." Undefeated, aggrieved, and bracing for the part where it stops.
What fans said
“Holy shit what a prediction, it was pretty baffling Maryland went away from the run.”

“My only comment is you guys had 350 yards of offense and were 0/12 on 3rd down with 5 minutes left which must be some sort of cfb statistical anomaly”

“They made up for not calling any opponents for holding vs Nebraska for the past 2.5 years by calling all of them today.”
