Halloween night at Memorial Stadium ended the way October did: close, and wrong. Washington scored 14 points in a 15-second window late in the fourth quarter and beat Nebraska 17-10, the Huskers’ third straight loss and third straight loss by one score (huskers.com, ESPN box score).
Nebraska is 5-3 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten, per the official schedule page. That page also lists the streak as L3.
How it slipped away
The scoring summary is short enough to quote in full (ESPN):
| Qtr | Time | Play | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1:40 | Carter Nelson 24-yard pass from Anthony Colandrea (Kyle Cunanan kick) | NU 7, UW 0 |
| 2nd | 0:41 | Tyler Robles 50-yard field goal | NU 7, UW 3 |
| 4th | 1:30 | Chris Lawson 25-yard pass from Demond Williams Jr. (Robles kick) | UW 10, NU 7 |
| 4th | 1:15 | Alex McLaughlin 48-yard interception return (Robles kick) | UW 17, NU 7 |
| 4th | 0:31 | John Hohl 42-yard field goal | UW 17, NU 10 |
Nebraska led for roughly 58 minutes. Then Washington took the lead with 1:30 left, and on the next possession a Colandrea pass went the other way for six.
