The Nebraska Cornhuskers are still on the outside looking in when it comes to the top 25. The Huskers received votes in the latest edition of the US LBM Coaches Poll.
The Huskers are coming off a 17-14 defeat to the Oregon Ducks on Saturday night. The loss drops Nebraska to 6-3 all-time against Oregon.
The Blackshirts held the Ducks to 3-of-16 on third-down conversions, including 0-of-8 in the first half. In Big Ten play, Nebraska has allowed opponents to go 8-of-48 on third downs.
This was the seventh straight game the Huskers have opened the season allowing 23 or fewer points. This is the first time Nebraska has allowed 23 or fewer points in the first seven games since 2001.
Nebraska's offense struggled mightily, finishing with only 241 total yards. The running game had major issues with only 78 yards on 33 attempts for measly 2.4 yards per rush.
Nebraska returns to action in two weeks to host the Washington Huskies at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 31. Kickoff time is still TBD.
