Nebraska loses 20-17 to Indiana after surrendering 17-6 lead
Nebraska held a 17-6 advantage with just over 12 minutes left but failed to score again, allowing Indiana to come back and win 20-17.
Nebraska led Indiana 17-6 with 12:01 remaining in the second half after a 39-yard touchdown run by Anthony Colandrea. The Huskers' offense had been effective earlier, featuring running back Jamal Rule and tight end Luke Lindenmeyer. However, the team shifted to a more aggressive passing strategy, resulting in a quick punt and a failed fourth-and-nine conversion near midfield. Indiana capitalized, narrowing the gap to 17-13 and eventually taking the lead. Nebraska's defense held strong, but a punt return that placed Indiana at the five-yard line set up the final scoring drive. Indiana completed the comeback, finishing with a 20-17 victory.
