Huskers Fall at SMU

Nebraska Drops First Game of the Season

Nebraska falls to SMU 34-31

The Nebraska Cornhuskers lost their first game of the season on Saturday, falling to the SMU Mustangs 34-31.

The Huskers led 24-17 at halftime, but the Mustangs scored 17 unanswered points in the second half to take the lead.

Nebraska had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds, but a field goal attempt was blocked.

What Went Wrong?

There were a number of factors that contributed to Nebraska's loss.

• Penalties: The Huskers committed 10 penalties for 100 yards, which gave SMU good field position and extended drives.
• Turnovers: Nebraska turned the ball over twice, including a fumble that was returned for a touchdown.
• Missed Opportunities: The Huskers had several chances to put the game away, but they failed to capitalize on their opportunities.

What's Next?

Nebraska will look to bounce back next week when they host the Northern Illinois Huskies.

The Huskers will need to clean up their mistakes and play with more discipline if they want to get their first win of the season.
