This loss has to rank near the top. The regression, in this team, since the end of last season is remarkable. I thought they would go 7-5 this year but going 4-8 again is just ridiculous. Martinez hasn't been right since Day 1 and I have no idea what has happened to Barry. Last years team, at the end of the season, would completely destroy this years team.
Most Embarassing Loss

I seen a couple plays where barry got to the qb and tackled him, which was fine...except instead of tackling him he should have jump up in the qb's face to prevent him from throwing the ball.....rb's = tackle.... qb's get in their face, then tackle...
There are too many embarrassing losses to count over the last decade and a half
It seems each week if you asked me before the game I would have said the prior shit show game. Then the current game happens. Pathetic.
Indiana and it isn't close.
Think.....Indiana...football.....at home.....after a bye....
Did I mention Indiana football???
I’m still going with 77-10 loss to Texas tech. But if frost shit show continues he’ll own it.
This to me is probably the most embarrassing loss I have ever seen Nebraska suffer. For the following reasons:
1. It was completely avoidable by playing a different QB.
2. The BIG TEN refs were taking an incredible amount of pity on us. Something they almost never do. They were throwing flag after flag on things they never call for us. Bailing our QB out time and time again. Like a parent helping a small child ride a bike. It was disgusting to see us falter despite this.
3. This was a 2-6 Purdue team with all their best players on the sideline. At the end, their walk-on third string QB comes in and wins them the game with an 80 yard drive where he completed every pass.

Agreed. This team should have 7 wins right now. The fact that we piss games away to inferior teams is what makes me throw the occasional remote through the wall. So damn frustrating.
Can a loss really be that embarrassing if it was almost expected? Embarrassing losses generally occur when you get beat by a team that has no reason beating you. NU has fallen to the point that there is no such thing as an embarrassing loss anymore.
And their whole team is true freshman, or red shirt freshman. I heard post game that Purdue's last 17 touchdowns have been scored by a Freshman.
When the refs are actively trying to help your offense, it elevates things to a new level of embarrassment.
Nebraska football will never relive the glory years. It’s an above average program ... That’s it.
One year at a time.
No, Nebraska is not an above average program right now.
Scott Frost clearly shared that post-Purdue.
Ever? Not even close. We are a bad program right now and we lost to another bad team.

I could go on, but I'm getting depressed.
