Nebraska (4-5, 3-3 Big Ten) dropped an overtime heartbreaker at home to Northwestern (6-3, 4-3 Big Ten) Saturday night to fall to 2-4 at home on the season.
While the Huskers were struggling on the field, Twitter was having something to say about it.

This kid’s reaction was golden. If you put this on my timeline, I will enjoy it. Solid use of Twitter dot com.

“Cornfed Fred.”
I don’t care if hillbilly John or cornfed Fred is Lamar Jackson’s backup. Go ahead and try him. He might care. #huskers

I’m going to assume this had to do with Northwestern tying the game at 24 with just over five minutes left.
Holy Cornhuskers, Batman.

Finally, everyone was thinking it after the game (and tweeting it), but here’s one more from Faux to bookend a rough night.

Derek is a newbie on the Hail Varsity staff covering Husker athletics. In college, he was best known as ‘that guy from Twitter.’ He has covered a Sugar Bowl, a tennis national championship and almost everything in between (except an NCAA men’s basketball tournament game… *tears*). In his spare time, he can be found arguing with literally anyone about sports.
