NOTE As impressive as the Huskers’ defensive stats were on this record-setting night, the domination was far more complete before Arizona’s final possession. With 6:50 left in the fourth quarter, Arizona’s offensive production looked like this:     38 plays, 37 yards, 3 first downs On their final possession, the Wildcats: • Nearly tripled their total yardage. • Doubled their first downs. • Increased their play count by more than a third. Even so, Nebraska set records in all three categories, two of them by comfortable margins.
