Northwestern at No. 9 Nebraska

A social media recap of Northwestern's 28-25 win at No. 9 (No. 10 BCS) Nebraska on Nov. 5, 2011, in the first Big Ten Conference game between the two schools.

  1. Outstanding, gracious welcome by @Huskers fans and staff at Memorial. Escorted to press box by Joba Chamberlain's father. #standard #NUvsNU
  2. It's taking some getting used to seeing purple and 'Wildcats' and not assuming their Kansas State fans. #Huskers #NUvsNU
  3. On a very windy afternoon, it's time to play ball! Gusts upward of 30 mph that could touch 40 mph before the end of the contest.
  4. Cats hold on their first possession. Fun watchin this from Orlando BW3. GO CATS! #NUvsNU
  5. #Northwestern 1st&10...run, 2nd&6...pass to Colter out to NU36+. Go Cats!
  6. Dan Persa, if there was ever a day to have 500 yards and 4 TD's.... #todayistheday
  7. Northwestern moving the ball at will, but a bad pitch on a option in Huskers territory results in a fumble. Nebraska ball.

  8. Northwestern tries a little option and is fumbled, WIll Compton with the recovery at the 41-yard line #Huskers #NUvsNU
  9. Northwestern stops themselves with poor pitch. Why take Persa out of game?
  10. The defense is up the challenge, coming up with a 3-and-out after the turnover to force a punt, which goes into the end zone.
  11. NU defense covers for the offense's turnover. Persa and the Cats back on the field at their own 20.
  12. Give the Cats credit, they stop the drive. #Northwestern and #Nebraska are scoreless mid 1st.
