The number two team in the nation almost fell today vs an unranked but still very strong Northwestern team who came in the game with a record of 6-2 and just coming off a tough loss to Iowa. As for the Husker they came in 7-0 and #2 in the nation and coming off a close but still controlling win over Minnesota in Week 9. So first quarter was a Defensive standoff with only a FG by Nebraska. The second quarter was played better by the Wildcats who took a 14-9 lead into the locker room after a late FG by Nebraska. Nebraska was in control but all 3 of their drives in the first have ended with just a FG. The 3rd quarter was back and forth with NU getting a FG on their first possession but Nebraska answered with a TD but decided to just kick the PAT so down 16-17 the D takes the field and ended up giving up a TD so going into the forth it was NU 24 Nebraska 16. The Huskers score quick on a T.Martinez run but failed on the 2-Pt. so Huskers trailed by 2 with just over 6 min remaining. A studio update comes in saying that Number 1 Ohio State just lost their game to Purdue which would mean if the huskers could pull this one out they would surely be #1 for the first time in a long time. The D holds NU and then the huskers drive down the field to score but would miss the 2-pt try again so they score was now Neb 28 NU 24 with 2:43 to go and NU ball. The wildcats took the ball and scored with just :53 remaining it seemed the National title hopes were gone just as the appeared but T.Martinez was not down as he threw a strike to TE J.Long who had a great game receiving. The huskers drive would continue as they had a 3rd and goal and just 34 seconds to go. Martinez Drops back and sees his favorite target Kenny Bell open over the middle he catches it and is hit as he fall into the endzone Touchdown Nebraska!!! with just :27 left. As you might guess it wasnt quite of yet couple big pass plays by NU they had one last shot at a hail marry to stun Husker nation but as the pass floated through the air it was tipped and caught by one of Nebraska DBs and that was it Husker survive and now look to be #1 in the nation and go knock off #5 Michigan in The Big House.
