Big Ten Network Breaks Down Nebraska Football at Indiana
Nebraska football is just days away from another shot at getting that first win over a ranked opponent since the Mike Riley era.
The Huskers have lost 25 straight games to Top 25 teams since 2016. That’s the second-longest active streak among power conference teams, only trailing the 40 straight by Rutgers.
On Wednesday, the Big Ten Network’s “B1G Today” looked at Nebraska’s Saturday game at No. 16 Indiana. Dave Revsine and Ashley Adamson discussed the game as part of the show’s “B1G Story”.
“This IU story has captured everyone’s imagination,” Revsine began. “It’s pretty amazing to think that they are unbeaten at this point.”
The Hoosiers are undefeated through six games for the first time since 1967. The Huskers, however, are an overtime away from also being unblemished.
“The thing I’m most focused on is that Indiana offense, which has been absolutely fabulous, against a Nebraska defense, which has been airtight for most of this year,” Revsine said.
Indiana is top 10 in the nation in total offense, passing offense, third down conversation percentage, and scoring. Nebraska is top in the nation in rushing defense, sacks, and red zone defense.
“It’s strength on strength,” Adamson said. “This is the game that may teach us potentially the most in week eight.”
Adamson said Indiana is now dealing with raised expectations, from just getting to a bowl game in Curt Cignetti’s first season so already being bowl eligible at the midway point of the season.
“When you win games, the games get bigger. That’s exactly what has happened in Bloomington. They have passed every test since Curt Cignetti has taken over, but obviously, Dave, as you look at the schedule and it starts Saturday with Nebraska, those tests are about to get harder,” Adamson said.
Heading into week eight, none of the teams to have faced Indiana currently hold a winning record—16-20 overall. Of the final six games, four currently have winning records—22-15 overall, including 5-1 Nebraska.
“The question for me is what does Nebraska look like,” Adamson said. “Dylan Raiola, we’ve seen him show up in big moments but what does he look like on the road in a big time environment on Saturday.”
Raiola is 1-0 at the collegiate level in road games, having led the 28-10 win at Purdue at the end of September.
Revsine pointed out Nebraska’s need to clean up the special teams. NU is last in the country in allowing both punts and kicks to be blocked.
“That’s a very significant warning sign that you’ve got a little bit of work to do there in special teams,” Revsine said.
As for the offense, Revsine wondered how good Nebraska is.
“Are they great? Is this a great run game? I don’t think it’s a great run game,” Revsine said. “I think what has stood out to me is the decision making from Dylan Raiola has been pretty good.”
Revsine and Adamson echoed each other in that this is the toughest game of the season so far for either team.
“How good are these teams, truly,” Revsine said. “I think they’re good. I think they’re improved. Nebraska fans would be so delighted to get a win this week and just get the bowl thing out of the way and then see where this can get them.”
For anyone living under a rock, Nebraska has the longest bowl drought in power conference football, going back to the 2016 season.
“You’d end the bowl drought. You get all those monkeys off your back and then you could say, ‘Hey where’s this season going to take us?’ Because I think there’s still a chance for it to take them to a really good place.”
You can watch the full segment at the top. Nebraska and Indiana kickoff Saturday at 11 a.m. CDT. The game will be televised on FOX, with the Big Noon Kickoff crew on site.

33 Nebraska senators urge Board of Regents to delay vote on $800M acquisition of Nebraska Medicine
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Thirty-two Nebraska state senators joined Sen. Brad von Gillern’s letter calling on the Nebraska Board of Regents to delay a vote on the proposed $800 million acquisition of Nebraska Medicine.
The letter, dated Thursday and bearing a total of 33 signatures from state senators, shared concerns about the proposed acquisition, including the lack of transparency to the public and the Legislature.
According to the letter, the regents’ Jan. 9 meeting agenda item summary indicates that the Board has “negotiated the final agreement over a series of meetings in the past 18 months”.
The regents will consider a proposal in which Clarkson Regional Health Services would give up its 50% membership in Nebraska Medicine. The deal would give full control of the health system to the University of Nebraska.
However, the letter said the public and Legislature have had little time to understand the proposal, its impact and any financial implications of the transaction.
“The University of Nebraska and Nebraska Medicine are two institutions of tremendous significance to our state, and any major changes to the existing structures must be carefully considered,” the letter stated.
Senators are asking the Board to delay the vote to “ensure all viable alternatives have been considered and until all stakeholders understand the impact of the proposal for the state” and the two institutions.
The Board of Regents meeting, previously set for Friday, will now be held Thursday, Jan. 15 at 9 a.m.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Parts of a temporary historical exhibit inside the Nebraska State Capitol were torn down by a state senator, Gov. Pillen alleges.
Gov. Pillen said Wednesday on social media that several displays of historical figures, key events in the American Revolution and portraits of those who signed the Declaration of Independence were “ripped off the walls” by state Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh of Omaha.
A 40-second video shared by Pillen appears to show Sen. Cavanaugh taking down several displays and a photo showed the items on the floor of her office.
The displays featuring material made by the controversial conservative group PragerU were put up in the state Capitol as part of the United States’ 250th anniversary.
“Celebrating America during our 250th year should be a moment of unity and patriotism, not divisiveness and destructive partisanship. I am disappointed in this shameful and selfish bad example,” Pillen wrote.
Cavanaugh told 10/11 that senators are prohibited from putting items on the walls in the hallway outside their offices. She said the posters line the entire hallway around the first floor, but she only took down the ones outside her office.
“When I walked in this morning and saw these poster boards lining the hallway of my office, I thought well I’m not allowed to have things lining the hall of my office… I tried to take them down as gently as I could and not damage any of them, and I stacked them inside of my office and I let the state patrol know that they were there,” Cavanaugh said.
PragerU has previously faced criticism for making content that historians, researchers and scholars have considered inaccurate or misleading. Some parents and educators have also spoken out against the nonprofit, saying its content spreads misinformation and is being used for “indoctrinating children.”
The Founders Museum exhibit in particular has been criticized by The American Historical Association for blurring the line between reality and fiction, according to NPR.
The exhibit is supposed to remain on display during public building hours through the summer.
