Mistakes doom Nebraska in 38-31 loss to Indiana
Nebraska had a chance to turn things around this week. Sitting at 4-3 and coming off of a bye week which helped get key players healthy and allowed the team to refocus, the Huskers had a chance to finish the year strong, just as they did in 2018. Instead, they couldn’t take advantage of opportunity after opportunity, falling to Indiana 38-31. This time around, the problem wasn’t that Nebraska (4-4, 2-3 Big Ten) was outmatched from start to finish, as was the case against Ohio State and Minnesota.
Three takeaways from Nebraska’s 38-31 loss to Indiana
With the opportunity to turn its season back in the right direction and become one win away from bowl eligibility, Nebraska squandered a fast start against Indiana on Saturday. Instead, Nebraska dropped to 4-4 on the year, losing 38-31 to the Hoosiers. Here are three takeaways from today’s game: Blackshirts don’t live up to billing The Nebraska defense certainly looked good in their black alternate jerseys. However, the play on the field was nothing like the Blackshirt defenses of the past.

Frost, Huskers must focus on progress to close out 2019 campaign
The beginning of the 2019 football season came with the revival of a word that hadn’t been associated with Husker football for several years: expectations. Despite a record of 4-8 in head coach Scott Frost’s first season at the helm for the Huskers, the national media was convinced enough by the 4-2 finish at the end of 2018 to rank Nebraska No. 24 in the Associated Press preseason poll.

What went right and went what wrong against Northwestern
Saturday afternoon’s game between Northwestern and Nebraska was a classic Big Ten slugfest, as the Huskers emerged with a 13-10 victory. Nebraska came out with the win, but it wasn’t the team’s most dominant effort. Here’s what went right: Coming up clutch Tied at 10-10 late in the fourth quarter, with Northwestern driving past midfield, Saturday’s game looked like it could end in another late Nebraska collapse.
HARDESTY: Once again, Scott Frost and Nebraska thrive in bemired affair
Remember when Scott Frost told the nation that he hoped the Big Ten Conference would have to adjust to Nebraska? About that… Nebraska and Northwestern punted a combined 19 times on Saturday afternoon. Nebraska’s offense stalled for most of the game. Once again, a lot went wrong for the Huskers. On a picturesque fall afternoon in Lincoln, Nebraska, it was another muddy battle on the field at Memorial Stadium. And the Huskers looked right at home.
Position grades from Nebraska’s 13-10 win over Northwestern
Quarterback: B- Coming off a three-interception game against Ohio State, sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez desperately needed a bounce back game against the Wildcats. Instead, he played a thoroughly average game, looking uncertain at times but didn’t turn the ball over, a key to the team’s victory. After going down with a knee injury to end the third quarter, sophomore quarterback Noah Vedral managed to produce a game-winning drive.
Letter from the Editor: Do what you love and don’t settle for safe
Dear reader, I am going to graduate soon and the one thing I fear the most is being stuck in a job that I hate for the rest of my life. I don’t want to wake up and dread going to a menial nine to five job every single day until I die. When I was little, I dreamed of becoming an astronomer. I have also wanted to be a zookeeper, a lawyer, a firefighter and a psychologist. The point is, I did NOT want to have a career as an artist, or more specifically, I did not want to live off of an artist’s salary.

Editorial: Why The Daily Nebraskan examined dangers on campus
The existence of a safe environment tends to go unnoticed until tragedy shatters that atmosphere. On colleges campuses, this has occurred too many times. The University of Texas and Virginia Tech immediately come to mind as campuses where tranquility violently ended at the hands of disturbed individuals. Closer to home, an assailant killed four faculty members and a student before turning the gun on himself at the University of Iowa in 1991.

Letter from the Editor: Makeup helped me embrace femininity, confidence
Dear readers,I was in the closet during my childhood. Because of my own insecurity, the truth about my identity had to be kept secret.I came to this conclusion after a long time spent doubting, denying and hating myself. I grew up with youth football, basketball, “Call of Duty” games and even a few church services. Experimentation with feminine interests would likely be met with resentment.My parents weren’t ultra-conservative disciples of televangelism that bled red, white and blue.

ARRINGTON: Fashion in the world of NBA spectators
Sporting events are like mini fashion shows. Hear me out if you don’t agree. You’re in an arena decked out with branding. Everything is expensive, and you want to look your best. You’re not going to wear old clothes to a YSL fashion show, and you’re not going to wear sweatpants to an NBA game.Before we officially kiss spring break goodbye, I want to recap the fashion event I attended in Toronto — a basketball game. Not what you expected, right?

ARRINGTON: 4 worst looks from Paris Fashion Week attendees
It’s no secret that runway fashion can be seen as “out there.” It’s often difficult to understand how a highly paid designer could put together such odd ensembles for the runway. What puzzles me more than runway fashion is the outfits attendees wear and deem to be fashionable.I’m a supporter of individualism and embracing differences — it’s one of the reasons I chose to study fashion at UNL. My other major being French, I’m obsessed with anything and everything French.
