While Husker nation was melting, four-star wide receiver commit Joshua Moore offered a saving grace.

Too real, Kevin.
Having Zac Taylor in attendance doesn't mean Tanner Lee needs to take a Zac Taylor-like beating #Huskers

This was tweeted before the game ended. Hilary can see the future too, apparently.
A lady in our section tried cheering "Go Huskers!" but coughed half way through and that's the best metaphor for this game I can think of.

After Lee scored on a quarterback keeper for the Huskers’ first points of the game, former quarterback Tommy Armstrong with the wheels chimed in.

Why? Because Les Miles.
Realizing the Mad Hatter is in the booth rooting for Nebraska on the broadcast kinda makes the insanity of this game more believable

David perfectly sums up the Huskers’ season to this point.

As we all expected Jack, as we all expected.
As expected, every TD in this game is either a Tanner Lee rush or a Tanner Lee pick 6.

Finally, this from a former Nebraska kicker. Laugh through the pain Husker fans.
I just kicked footballs so I have know idea what needs changing 🙍🏼♂️

Nebraska plays Rutgers at home on Sep. 23 with the chance to get back to .500 on its season.
