Last 3 Nebraska-Northwestern Games Tight Affairs

nebraska_helmetLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — If No. 19 Nebraska’s game Saturday at Northwestern is anything like the teams’ previous three meetings, there’ll be no shortage of drama.

Since the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten in 2011, their three games against the Wildcats have been decided by a total of seven points. The Huskers have won two of those games.

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said the games have been “strange, to say the least.”

The Huskers won 27-24 in Lincoln last year when Jordan Westerkamp snagged Ron Kellogg III’s tipped desperation heave on the final play.

This week’s game has major implications in the Big Ten West. The Huskers (5-1, 1-1) had an open date last week after losing 27-22 at Michigan State. The Wildcats (3-3, 2-1) lost 24-17 to Minnesota this past Saturday.
