Indiana Flips Nebraska with Two Marsh Touchdowns in Four Minutes
Indiana trailed 17-6 with 12 minutes left in the game. It won 20-17. Two Nick Marsh catches did the whole thing, and they came 4:38 apart.
For three quarters this was a field goal game. Nebraska kicked one from 28 yards, Indiana answered from 42, and Nyziah Hunter's 10-yard touchdown run put the Cornhuskers up 10-3 at the end of the first quarter. Nobody scored in the second. Nico Radicic hit a 35-yard field goal in the third to make it 10-6, and that was the score going into the fourth. Then Anthony Colandrea ran 39 yards for a touchdown with 12:01 to go, and Nebraska led 17-6. Ten seconds of game clock later, it was a game again.
Marsh caught a 75-yard touchdown from Josh Hoover with 11:51 left, and with 7:13 left he caught a 44-yarder. That was 14 points in 4:38 (counting both extra points) and Indiana was up 20-17, the only lead change of the afternoon. Nebraska did not score again. Marsh finished with 6 catches for 187 yards and both touchdowns, 119 of those yards on the two scores.
The box score hints at how Indiana got there. Nebraska had more yards, 391 to 328, and ran 39 times to Indiana's 22, but threw an interception, while Indiana had five sacks to Nebraska's two and no turnovers at all. Hoover completed just 12 of 22 passes, but they went for 263 yards.
Indiana is 6-0 and Nebraska is 5-1. Marsh's 36.7 Promethium points led all players on the field, and if you started him, you can thank the last twelve minutes.
