Nebraska Cornhuskers CFB Week 13 Betting Lines

After a 5-1 start, head coach Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers needed only one more win for a bowl game. But just as they did in the final four games of last year, Nebraska struggled to take advantage. Last week, in a road game against the USC Trojans, the Big Red fell short again. Now, the Huskers must win one of their final two games to avoid catastrophe. This week, Nebraska plays in its Senior Day home finale against the Wisconsin Badgers. Wisconsin is coming off a home loss to Oregon and the firing of offensive coordinator Phil Longo.

Nebraska has never beaten USC, falling to 0-5-1 all-time. Also, the Huskers have fallen to 0-9 since 2016 in games that would have clinched bowl eligibility.

The Huskers struck first on what would turn out to be one of a couple of big plays from Ceyair Wright. The former USC defensive back took a first-quarter interception to the house. Additionally, he would block a field goal in the second half.

However, USC's offense got rolling after that interception. After starting 2-for-7, new starting quarterback Jayden Maiava completed his next nine passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns.

Nebraska answered with a nine-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. Namely, Emmett Johnson caught a Dylan Raiola pass, outran his defender to the edge, and took the ball upfield for the score.

Subsequently, neither team was very productive over the rest of the second quarter. USC punted the ball three times, while Nebraska threw an interception, punted once, and ran out the clock into the half.

At the onset of the 3rd quarter, Nebraska got a 29-yard field goal from John Hohl. He would add a 30-yarder a couple of drives later. But in the meantime, the Trojans got a touchdown. USC added another touchdown with 2:45. That drive saw the Trojans burn 7:39 off the clock.

Finally, Raiola drove the Big Red to the USC 14. Before the final play of the game could commence, most of the offensive line committed a false start. With five seconds left, Raiola threw an interception in the end zone.

2024 Nebraska Cornhuskers Football Schedule

Once, It seemed as though the Nebraska football program had always been good, and it’s because they had been. They won 10 or more games 26 times, had five unbeaten seasons, and claimed five national championships. They played in 51 bowl games in those 55 years and were also ranked in the top 25 of every AP poll from 1970 to 2001.

The success didn’t start in 1961; it happened long before that. The Huskers enjoyed 17 straight winning campaigns at the beginning of the 20th century. Nebraska appeared in its first bowl game with a Rose Bowl loss following the 1940 season and wouldn’t get its first win until 1960. Bob Devaney led the Huskers to back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971 by going a combined 24-0-1.

Tom Osborne took over in 1972 and led the program to unprecedented success. The Huskers won at least nine games every season, were ranked in the AP poll every week, and appeared in a bowl at the conclusion of each season. Osborne retired following a perfect 13-0 record and the program’s fifth national championship in 1997. Nebraska ended its affiliation with the Big 12 Conference to join the Big Ten in 2011. The success hasn’t come as easily in the past decade or so, but Nebraska is hoping to take the next step forward in 2024.

After favorite son Scott Frost failed miserably as head coach from 2018-2022, Matt Rhule was hired. Rhule rebuilt programs at Temple and Baylor and has Nebraska on the right track. Ironically, Nebraska’s renaissance will be led by a native New Yorker who has become the ultimate Nebraska citizen.
