The Nebraska Cornhuskers have struggled recently, suffering three consecutive losses. However, one rival still views them as the biggest challenge of the season. Travis Hunter, star wide receiver and cornerback for the Colorado Buffaloes, mentioned on his YouTube channel this week that the Huskers were the toughest team they faced. “I won’t lie, it was definitely Nebraska, man. That stadium was electric,” he stated.
“The atmosphere was unbelievable; the stadium was wild,” added teammate LaJohntay Wester, a wide receiver. That game, which took place on September 7, was Nebraska’s second of the season, and the Huskers came out on top with a score of 28-10.
Although the Huskers performed well on both offense and defense, Colorado’s players largely attributed their struggles to the fans rather than the opposing team. “We were trying to communicate, but we couldn’t hear anything. They made it really challenging,” Hunter said. “It was definitely the toughest.” Webster added, “We were standing right next to each other, yelling, and still couldn’t hear each other.” Hunter summed it up by stating, “That was the toughest stadium to play in overall.” When asked which team was the hardest to face, the Buffaloes players named Kansas State, who defeated Colorado 31-28 five weeks later. Nebraska fans will have one more opportunity this season to turn Memorial Stadium into a challenging environment on November 23 against Wisconsin. Hopefully, the Huskers can regain their momentum and secure a few more victories.
