What a big way to make a comeback. Unfortunately for the Cornhuskers, the Hurricanes were able to put the game away in overtime after a Michael Badgley 28-yard field goal to win the game
The Cornhuskers are going to have to try harder to avoid getting in that position int he future. The team is currently 1-2 and they next welcome in the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles next Saturday.
As for Al Golden and the Hurricanes, his team is undefeated, but just barely. The team may have won, but Golden’s hot seat may have just gotten hotter.
