The Huskers' chances of making a bowl game are still up in the air after a poor showing against UCLA.
Two weeks ago, the Indiana loss was bad, but the Hoosiers are a good football team that could play for a Big Ten title. While UCLA is a decent team with three wins, they're unlikely to make a bowl game. Nebraska's performance against Ohio State suggested they could win all their remaining games. The UCLA game has me questioning whether the Huskers will even make it to a bowl.
UCLA's costly mental mistakes masked a subpar performance by the Huskers' offense. Nebraska only scored points on drives when UCLA was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Those three penalties alone accounted for 9.48 EPA in Nebraska’s favor. This game was an infamous one-score loss thanks to UCLA's careless mistakes.credit to the playcalling in this game. Nebraska didn’t call many pass plays that targeted a player near the line of scrimmage.
