Last season, if Nebraska was down by two scores in the fourth quarter, it was almost certain that the Cornhuskers weren’t going to win the game. This past offseason, head coach Matt Rhule worked with his team to make sure those losses would turn into wins this season, and it seems to have paid off this past weekend.
