Nebraska football was dominated by the Utah Utes, losing 44-22 on Wednesday night in the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl. Nebraska led the game 14-7 in the first quarter, but after that, it was all Utah. At one point, the Ues scored 31 unanswered points on their way to victory.
The Huskers were outgained 535-343 in total yards, and the offense did not sustain much after the first quarter. Quarterback TJ Lateef went 15-of-28 on the afternoon, throwing for 182 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Mehki Nelson was able to solidify the running game for the Huskers, carrying the football 12 times for 88 yards and a touchdown. Isaiah Mozee had four catches for 48 yards, but it was not enough on a day when the Huskers’ offense was stagnant.
Social media was disappointed following the loss, as the program can now officially turn the page to the 2026 season.
