Mizzou related:
72 — Missouri 2005 (41-24)
Mizzou outscored NU 17-0 after half thanks to three NU turnovers. The big story was Brad Smith, who threw for 234 and rushed for (gulp) 246.
47 — Missouri 2003 (41-24)
Who knows what happens if T.J. Hollowell knocks down Mizzou’s fourth-quarter fake field goal? The Tigers took the lead and scored 27 straight, breaking a 24-year losing streak to NU.
46 — Missouri 2008 (52-17)
Chase Daniel said Ndamukong Suh spit on him. If he didn’t, he should’ve. The Tigers handed NU its worst home loss since 1955. “I apologize to the team,” Pelini said. “I apologize to the state of Nebraska.”
25 — Missouri 2007 (41-6)
The Blackshirts gave up 606 yards. The offense didn’t score a touchdown. Matt Davison criticized Nebraska in ESPN’s booth. Rough night.
Other hilarious ones:
7 — Texas Tech 2004 (70-10)
In a 12-minute span, Tech scored seven touchdowns. Seven! The offense, led by poor Beau Davis, committed five turnovers in 10 snaps. The most lopsided defeat in school history.
26 — Iowa State 2009 (9-7)
The most baffling loss ever? Maybe. Nebraska was a 21-point favorite against the injury-riddled Cyclones but committed eight turnovers, including four inside the ISU 5-yard line.
24 — Kansas 2007 (76-39)
The Jayhawks produced touchdowns on — are you ready for this? — 10 straight possessions. (They didn’t even score the last 11 minutes). “Once it started going wrong,” Kevin Cosgrove said, “it just kept on going.”
