That game wasn't on Diaco, but Oregon, Wisconsin, Ohio St, Minnesota, Penn St, Iowa?
Worst home loss in Nebraska football history
- Thread starter moralvictories
- Start date
This is the right answer. We were number one before that loss. Plus it's to freaking Misery.
Ahhh we were #2 after beating Oklahoma, Penn St was unbeaten and ranked #1 which was the reason why Alabama won the national title beating Penn St in the Sugar Bowl..
Again how in the world was this the worst loss in memorial stadium..
The one I shook my head the most was the Iowa St. game where we had like 7 turnovers. Just had never seen anything like it. Just ridiculous.
9-7 loss, that Cyclone team went 7-6 and beat Minnesota in a bowl game that year..
i was walking from a tailgate in the north bottoms up to the stadium to go in. was outside right about to go in and could see from the TV's NIU return the opening kick for a TD. immediately walked back out and went to barry's
It was 8 turnovers. 5 fumbles and 3 interceptions...
The one that pissed me off the most when I was in the stadium was the loss to Texas in 1999. Losing to Ricky Williams and Mack Brown upset me so much. I hated watching Mack celebrate at the end of that game.

This game was when I use to go back every year to pheasant hunt. (Come on Nebraska!!! Copy South Dakota and get the birds back). I was driving into the state as the game was playing so I was listening to it on the radio. I was tired, sick of driving and getting madder and madder as the game kept getting worse.
For me, I think it would be 2017 Ohio State. When the players looked like Deer in headlights coming out of the tunnel. Just trying not to get embarrassed. We’d had some bad moments as a program since 01 but to me that was an all time low. It’s where the thought entered my head that Nebraska is down for good.
We lose much more than we did and therefore way too many to choose from.
I'll narrow down to pre Bill Callahan era and in my lifetime as a Husker Fan:
I'll narrow down to pre Bill Callahan era and in my lifetime as a Husker Fan:
- Losses to bad teams: 1984 Syracuse, 1992 Iowa State
- Losses to good teams we should have beaten (and it derailed title runs): 1982 Penn State, 1984 Orange Bowl vs Miami, 1984 OU, 1986 OU, 1994 Orange Bowl vs FSU, 1999 Texas
Diaco was awful - he just wasn't the reason Riley got shitcanned. Huskers coughed up 4 INTs in the Oregon game, which makes it kind of hard to beat a team QBed by Justin Herbert. That was followed by the 3 INT, 2 pick-six shitshow against Northern Illinois. At the point Riley's sugar daddy got fired and Riley was a dead man walking.
I was at that one. The disparity of talent was bad enough but their lineman looked like they were rolled out of a factory, ours were fat and slovenly. The first play of the game every one of their lineman ate up every one of ours. I could see this was going to be very bad. Their third string qb went on to win a Heisman. Our third string qb is ridiculously still playing college football.
For me the worst loss was to Miami 30-31 when Osborne went for 2 to try to win the game.
A 31-31 tie would have given Nebraska a sixth NC.

Compared to the last decade, the number of pheasants I have seen this year has been staggering.
That would sound ok this year but we had much higher standards back then. It was a complete embarrassment.
