One 75-yard pass later the room had already written the obituary, and the three-point final was a formality.
The emotional rollercoaster
Nebraska fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Nebraska took Indiana to the wire and still walked off 20-17 losers, which in Lincoln counts as a familiar kind of nothing. The turning point arrived in the form of a 75-yard pass, the counterpunch that one fan said told him instantly "I knew it was over." Five and one is a fine record almost anywhere else; here it reads like a receipt. As one put it, "the score was close. We weren't embarrassed, but to still come up empty is inexcusable." Misery holds at 76.
