The Nebraska football team comes into Saturday night looking for its first win of the season. There has been one other time ever when they’ve been 0-4.

The Nebraska football has officially arrived at their own personal house of horrors, Camp Randall Stadium. They arrive at 0-4 for the first time since 1945.

The Cornhuskers have been setting all kinds of the wrong sort of records in the last few years. Last week they broke the school record for consecutive losses with eight. They are likely going to be extending that losing streak to nine tonight.

If the Huskers are going to win, they are going to need to have some unexpected heroes step up. Devine Ozigbo and Adrian Martinez aren’t going to be able to do it all themselves. Read about that and other kernels in this morning’s Go Big Read.
