per Randy:

The breakthrough victory was sitting there. All Nebraska had to do was take it.

Up 31-21 on Northwestern with 5:41 left in the fourth quarter, the Cornhuskers were poised to give Scott Frost his first win as Nebraska’s coach.

If they could stop Northwestern one more time. If they could gain one more first down after the Wildcats got a field goal. And if they could not surrender passes for 32- and 27-yard gains by Northwestern on the tying touchdown drive.

“If ‘if’ was a fifth,” former Husker Jay Foreman reasoned, “we’d all be walking around stumbling.”

No, instead of toasting a long-sought victory, Foreman and the Huskers faithful endured Northwestern completing that 10-point rally in Evanston, Ill., last Saturday and then getting a field goal in overtime to beat Nebraska 34-31. The loss left the Huskers 0-6 in Frost’s first year as coach and stretched their losing streak to 10 games.

“There’s nobody pushing the panic button, but we’re at a place that nobody would have envisioned we would be even in Year One,” said Foreman, an Eden Prairie native and former national-title winning linebacker for the Huskers who now works as a radio pregame and postgame analyst in Lincoln.

Go Gophers!!
 

Jay Foreman is a blast from the past. Son of former Vikings RB Chuck Foreman. Haven't heard that name in quite some time.
