After one of the worst losses of the Matt Rhule era on Friday night, it’s not surprising that Nebraska football fans are down on the direction of the program. However, those looking for a silver lining need look no further than the continued performance of Brendan Sorsby this season.
Sorsby came into the 2025 campaign at a crossroads. He’s plenty talented, but didn’t put up a big 2024. So far this year, he’s put any doubts to rest massively.
On Saturday, Sorsby once again built on a spectacular season, completing 20 of 29 passes for 270 yards and 3 touchdowns while not throwing an interception. He also ran for 13 yards and another score in Cincinnati’s win over Oklahoma State. What makes those numbers even more impressive is that it marks the sixth straight game where he’s thrown at least two touchdowns and hasn’t thrown an interception.

Those numbers put him into College Football history, as he’s one of just five players to accomplish that feat. If he manages to do it for three more games, he’ll have the longest such streak ever…
