Husker Hex? Nebraska’s past opponents struggling since beating Huskers

Nebraska has started to play better in its last 2 outings. The same can’t be said for a few of the teams that have beaten the Huskers this season.

Action Network’s Brett McMurphy revealed how Oklahoma, Northwestern, and Georgia Southern have been doing. Spoiler alert, it’s not gone well.

Oklahoma is 0-3, Northwestern is 0-5, and Georgia Southern is 1-3. Those team’s records combine to make it 1-11 since they beat the Cornhuskers.

Nebraska on the other hand is now 3-3 after a bad start. Since the team let go of Scott Frost, Mickey Joseph is 2-1 as interim HC. Joseph’s tenure is the first time that Nebraska has won back-to-back B1G games since 2017.

Nebraska faces Purdue next. The Boilermakers beat Maryland 31-29 in Week 6 and are also on a win streak. Purdue has won three in a row since losing to Syracuse in Week 3.

The Huskers and Boilermakers face off Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on BTN.
