Officials missed a potential pass interference call in fourth in the five-yard line against Wisconsin in the final seconds of Nebraska’s 35-38 loss to the Badgers.
On days 4 and 20 at Wisconsin 21 with 12 seconds left, Nebraska midfielder Adrian Martinez attempted to get past Zavier Betts, which was blocked by cornerback Faion Hicks. Hicks made contact with Betts’ foot and caused him to miss a deep pass. After the game, Nebraska’s bench expressed displeasure with the missed call. Officials flagged Husker and allowed Wisconsin to hold on to the victory.

Several reporters and media personalities responded to the missed defensive intervention call and shared their thoughts on getting started.
Remove PI on Wisconsin. Not called. The Big Ten continues to love Nebraska.

What a horrible season for Nebraska. An unfinished fourth down to what could have been overcome interference will give Wisconsin a 35-28 win over the Huskers.

Death, taxes, and Nebraska lost games to Wisconsin in missed pass interference calls.

I wanted to see a side-by-side comparison of JoJo Domann’s interference call in the Michigan game and Nebraska’s final offensive game against Wisconsin today.
And then there’s the explanation of how the crosstalk works.

The Wisconsin loss marked another heartbreaking end for Nebraska this season. Going into their final game against Iowa next Saturday, Husker are 3-8 and 1-7 in the Big Ten. Seven of Nebraska’s eight losses have been by one point or less.
Wisconsin could overtake the Big Ten West with a win over Minnesota next week and date the winner of the Michigan-Ohio State game in the Big Ten championship.
