One other way in which USC and Nebraska fans are united in misery this season: Big Ten officiating. Cornhuskers Wire noted how badly the Huskers were shafted on some non-pass interference calls in this game against USC. Trojan fans know the feeling. USC was obviously jobbed on bad non-calls against Michigan and Penn State.

Nebraska lost its fourth straight game on Saturday, this time losing to USC 28–20. The Huskers struggled to get anything going on offense and ended up only scoring 20 points, including zero in the fourth quarter.

USC’s second touchdown, a 12-yard Maiva throw to Kyron Hudson, went through the fingertips of Nebraska defensive back Malcolm Hartzog. The Trojans’ final scoring march stayed on track after Maiava’s third-down throw to Makai Lemon pinballed through the air between the receiver and Nebraska linebacker Javin Wright.
