A few takeaways:
>> Frank Solich had the best teams and the worst record. The last four road losses to ranked teams were by an average of 27 points.
>> Nebraska has played very few really tough road games since 2011. Just games against ranked teams on the road. NU lost them all, two by ludicrous margins, one by five because Michigan State nearly coughed up a 27-3 lead.
>> Defense has been a problem. Only four times did opponents score fewer than 20 points — 2011 Penn State, 2010 A&M, 2009 Missouri and 2009 Virginia Tech. Opponents went over 50 as many times, and 40 or above 11 times.
