LINCOLN, Neb. — With over 85,000 spectators in attendance for the Saturday game — a handful of whom were cheering for Northwestern (3-4, 1-3 Big Ten) — Memorial Stadium witnessed a 17-9 win for the Cornhuskers (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten). Though the ‘Cats started strong with two interceptions in the first five minutes of the game, their performance plummeted as Nebraska accrued points on the scoreboard. This season has seen fluctuating results from the Wildcats, who will have to wait until Saturday’s home game against Maryland to make up for this weekend’s blunder.
