Nebraska is hoping to win its third straight game – and third overall game – against No. 10 Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday. The Cornhuskers entered as 17.5-point underdogs, so coach Scott Frost might well be all of the tricks up his sleeve.
Maybe this one should have stayed in it.
The Cornhuskers went 75 yards for the touchdown on their first drive of the game, and wanted to get the ball right back. So why not attempt a surprise onside kick, right? Caleb Lightbourn tried, and it did not end well.
You have to admire the effort. After all, it's not like playing against the Buckeyes is a good game plan. But maybe Lightbourn should work a little bit more.
Amazingly, though, that might have been the worst play for the Huskers on the afternoon. Quarterback Adrian Martinez is a star in the making, but this decision on an RPO is a freshman mistake to end all freshman mistakes. The fumble was recovered by Ohio State.
Nebraska (2-6, 1-4 Big Ten) Ohio state (7-1, 4-1) can not afford a loss if it's a win wants to make the College Football Playoff.
