No. 11 Huskers Look to Overcome Top 25 Road Demons

nebraska_helmetLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska goes into Saturday’s game at No. 22 Wisconsin looking to overcome its demons in road games against opponents ranked in the Top 25.

The 11th-ranked Cornhuskers (8-1, 4-1 Big Ten) have lost four of their last five on the road against Top 25 teams. Since Bo Pelini took over in 2008, the Huskers are 3-8 in those games.

Pelini said Monday it’s hard to beat good teams in tough environments. He said history will have nothing to do with what happens against the Badgers (7-2, 4-1).

In its only Top 25 road game this season, Nebraska was down 24 points in the fourth quarter to Michigan State before closing to 27-22. Each of the Huskers’ previous three Top 25 road losses was by at least 25 points.
