Report Card: Huskers 27, Indiana Hoosiers 22

Saturday’s Nebraska game against Indiana was one for the people who spend the money to sit in the stands instead of watching on television from home. Thanks to Clemson/North Carolina State going to overtime, ABC didn’t show much of the first quarter of the Husker game. ESPN3 turned out to be a huge fail for me. I did eventually find the game on ESPN2 (thanks to a message from our own Brian Towle), though ESPN2 cut over to a studio show instead of showing Nebraska’s second drive. Eventually I worked my way back to ABC, guessing that the game was heading back to the broadcast network. And sure enough, after getting a few more commercials in, we were treated to the tail-end of a replay of Brandon Reilly’s circus catch.

A couple of minutes later, Chris Jones’ pick-six interception made it 17-0 Huskers, and it looked like the Huskers were going to cruise the rest of the afternoon. Except it didn’t happen; once the Huskers appeared on ABC, the Nebraska offense disappeared. Injuries on the offensive line probably were at the core, though give credit to Indiana’s stout defense. Defense had been an afterthought in Indiana during Kevin Wilson’s tenure, but the Hoosiers are quickly developing a salty defense. It might not show much in the standings, playing in the meat grinder that’s the Big Ten east’s division, but it should help the Hoosiers get to a bowl game in 2016.
