Thought they might be a difficult road block for the Huskers going into the season.
Not that Boston College is a bad football program, but still....
Veteran QB Rocky Lombardi, and his mullet, lead NIU to upset win over Boston College
Media postgame: "You get an overtime win against a Power Five school in Boston College. What was the key to you guys pulling off this upset?"
NIU QB Lombardi: "I think the key for us was just experience in close games. We have a very similar team to what we had in '21 where we had too many close games. Just to be able to have that experience and just kind of know how to win a game. When it comes down to the end, I think that's a skill, and I think we have that skill. To be able to get a big win like that without having our best day offensively, I think, is really special."
Those are sweet words that we wish every Cornhusker team and player could bring to fruition.

Our team just doesn't know how to win a game. It's crazy how they could be in this situation.

Lost to a FCS team yesterday so maybe we will overcome 3 turnovers to pull off the W

Boston College is terrible. Nebraska should win this but stupid mistakes and self inflicted wounds will keep it within 10.
Defense should shine, especially with a home crowd.
I hope the boo birds and chants are loud when Sims has his first turnover

10 feels so low that it scares me to bet it.
