Nebraska vs. Ole Miss

Yet another team that Nebraskas is 0-1-0 against is Ole Miss out of the S.E.C. The only time these programs have squared off was in the 2002 Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisana.

That year, Nebraska was just 7-7 overall and 3-5 in Big 12 play. It was a disappointing season for head coach Frank Solich who was in year No. 5 on the job.

That's especially true given that just one year earlier, Solich had led Nebraska to an 11-2 mark and a Rose Bowl appearance. That season included a tie for 1st place in the Big 12 North.

2002 was a dud of a year, in Lincoln though. Of Nebraska's seven wins, three were against Troy, Utah State, and I-AA team Mcneese State. In fact, the Huskers didn't win one game against a ranked team that year. Though Solich would lead his program to a 9-3 record in the 2003 regular season, he was fired before the 2003 Alamo Bowl against Michigan State.
