The 187-game streak is over.
For the first time since the 2009 season ended in the Holiday Bowl against Arizona, Nebraska pitched a shutout. And this one didn't need the starters to go back in to preserve it, either.
"A shutout was important to us because I believe in the defense having that," Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said. "We were able to get a lot of players in the game, a lot of players who work hard, who sacrificed. So, to play them all and still continue to play to the standard and have the shutout was a really exciting uh moment for us.
