Nebraska Falls 20-17 to Indiana for 31st Straight Loss to a Ranked Team, Still Draws Coaches Poll Votes
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska lost 20-17 at home to No. 4 Indiana on Saturday, its 31st straight defeat against a ranked team — yet the Cornhuskers still received votes in the US LBM Coaches Poll released Oct. 11.
Nebraska led 17-6 with 12:01 left in the fourth quarter before Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover rallied the Hoosiers with 14 unanswered points. Hoover went 12-of-22 for 263 yards and two touchdowns, with receiver Nick Marsh catching six passes for 187 yards, including scores of 75 and 44 yards. Defending champion Indiana (6-0) ran its winning streak to 22 games and visits Ohio State next Saturday.
Nebraska has not beaten a ranked team since defeating Oregon in 2016. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea accounted for 310 total yards (263 passing, 47 rushing), and receiver Nyziah Hunter set season highs with five catches for 43 yards and a touchdown. Nebraska (5-1) travels to Oregon on Saturday, Oct. 17, in a game televised by Fox.
