Nebraska has defeated a team twice in a season only three times in school history. In 1891, Nebraska and Doane College met three times, with the Huskers winning two of those games. In 1894, Nebraska defeated the Omaha YMCA twice, while Nebraska also defeated Nebraska Wesleyan twice in 1896. The Huskers beat Wisconsin 30-27 on Sept. 29 in Lincoln.
How many times have they actually played someone more than once in a season? I mean really. Not back in the days when there were less than 4 teams within 500 miles of Lincoln.
•Nebraska will also be without starting defensive tackle Baker Steinkuhler, but Pelini isn't expecting any drop-off. "I feel like we have our full gamut, everything that we want, offensively, defensively at our disposal," he said. "And I have a lot of confidence in the guys that are going to be playing."
