... but this stat about the Cornhuskers deserves its own thread.
"Since Nebraska's memorable home win over Oklahoma in 2001, the Huskers join Duke as the only B.C.S. Conference programs to have not defeated a top 20 team. Nebraska is 0-24 since, though it does have one win over a top 25 opponent (by 25-17 over then-No. 24 Pittsburgh in 2004 ..."
The wording in the article is awkward, but the point is one that should be memorized and utilized by all who deal with Nebraska trolls: 0-24 v. ranked teams since 2001. (Of course, the first game of the streak was 62-36) :thumbsup:
