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.

The onside kick was incredibly weird because the one thing Northwestern is known for is how prepared they are. Especially on special teams. They have the least amount of talent in the Big 10 just about every year. But they're well coached and don't make dumb mistakes.
I don't even know where Nebraska goes to from here. This isn't even supposed to be a plucky Northwestern squad with a few NFL talents on the roster. It's one of their worst rosters in a long time and they still won.
