The Huskers (3-3, 2-1 Big Ten) might not have looked great on the field Saturday night in a 38-17 loss at home to No. 8 Wisconsin (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten), but there were still some pretty clever things happening on Twitter.
Here are the top tweets from the game.
All. The. Chills.

This seemed like an accurate representation of how I was feeling looking at my Twitter timeline following a pick-six from quarterback Tanner Lee on the Huskers' opening drive.

Luke Gifford. Basically how we all feel about the linebacker.
I will marry Luke Gifford. I am a dude too but do not care. #Huskers

Sneaker Joe coming in hot after the officials missed what many felt was a holding call on Wisconsin. The officials had previously stopped a Nebraska punt because they weren’t in a “safe space” for the play to begin. I don’t know either.
Apparently, the officials can't throw a flag from their safe place?

Sloppy indeed.
As many penalties that Wisconsin has racked up, the refs have still missed 3-4 blatant ones that have hurt Nebraska. Badgers really sloppy.

The Huskers used throwback uniforms to honor the 1997 national championship team. So, naturally, the Lincoln Police Department brought out some throwbacks of their own.
When you unveil throwbacks, you make a hype video,. Here you go! @Lincoln_Police & NSP team up to throwback before #Huskers throwback game. pic.twitter.com/h8zfoMaxfi

Your weekly dose of Faux. The Badgers were in the midst of a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ran off 5:45 in the fourth quarter and put them up 31-17 with just over nine minutes left.
RUN THE PICK SIX PLAY AGAIN PLS

Any tweet with Peter Griffin in it is automatically an “A+” tweet in my book.
