It looked like a team with athletes but not much football talent against a team that was primarily D-II grade talent. And the D-II team WON.

Northwestern outcoached 'em, aside from the stupid onside kick, the key to the outcome was the decision to "make Nebraska beat us". And as the second half wore on, you could see Nebraska remembering who they've become, even players who weren't on the roster looked like they knew they were fucked.
