Nebraska extends winning streak to three with victory over Northwestern
Mario Golston rushes for three touchdowns as the Cornhuskers improve to 8-2 with a convincing Big Ten win.
LINCOLN, NE — Nebraska continued its late-season surge, defeating Northwestern 24-13 to extend its winning streak to three games and improve to 8-2 on the season.
Running back Mario Golston powered the Cornhuskers' offense, rushing for 94 yards and accounting for all three Nebraska touchdowns. The performance marked an impressive turnaround for Golston, who struggled to find his rhythm against UCLA two weeks earlier.
The Wildcats couldn't contain Golston's ground attack, suffering their fourth loss of the season and falling to 6-4.
Both teams now turn their attention to important Big Ten road matchups. Nebraska travels to face Purdue on Saturday, looking to extend its winning streak to four games and strengthen its postseason position.
Meanwhile, Northwestern will attempt to rebound when it visits Washington on Thursday night.
