Matchup
Recap
Nebraska survived a Northwestern comeback bid with Emmett Johnson's second touchdown of the day breaking a 21-21 tie with just 2:44 remaining. The Cornhuskers built a 21-6 lead behind Johnson's early score, Kenneth Williams' electric 95-yard kick return, and Dylan Raiola's touchdown pass to Nyziah Hunter. Caleb Komolafe nearly played hero for the Wildcats with two second-half touchdowns, including a 56-yarder that set up the game-tying two-point conversion before Nebraska's winning drive.
