Without your defense, Nebraska would be 3-2 with only the Alamo Bowl to play for.

Instead, the Huskers are 4-1 coming off an impressive 27-12 victory in a monsoon over Missouri to pick up their first victory in Columbia since former Heisman winner Eric Crouch made a run for the ages to make the victory possible in 2001.

After some fourth quarter heroics, Nebraska is now the front-runner in the Big 12 North. The first three quarters were as ugly as the ominous clouds that greeted the Huskers in front of a national television audience. But when you are Nebraska, it doesn’t matter how you get it done. Style points don’t matter.
