We just keep hoping that something will break. It started like any other NU-KU game. KU held the Huskers over three downs on their next possession and blocked Jessie Kosch's punt. But instead of turning it over, Nebraska converted a first down when fullback Joel Makovicka recovered and ran 20 yards. Bad offense is one thing.
Bad luck is another.
Another Nebraska possession, another Nebraska touchdown. This drive took six plays, went 64 yards and not only put the Huskers up a cushy 21 points, it made Green a 100-yard rusher for the sixth straight game. Nebraska gained only 32 yards in the third quarter, but that wasn't bound to last. Green finished with 123 yards, Frost with 121 and NU with 415 total. It was Nebraska's lowest offensive total of the year.
