Instead, the Trojans rolled into town and wiped out the Cornhuskers with a 24-19 upset victory.
As the final seconds ticked off, Troy finished off its second major upset in two years. Meanwhile, Nebraska’s fan base was left stunned with back-to-back losses to kick off the new era in football.
From fans to analysts, Twitter exploded with reactions and insight from Week 3’s big upset.
Troy gets $1.15 million to play Nebraska and beats them. Last year, Troy won the highest payday game, beating LSU on their homecoming and taking home $985,000. pic.twitter.com/wznJrNQ7GE

Nebraska has lost 6 consecutive football games for the first time since 1957.
That’s a hell of a sentence.

Never would have thought we would be winless after week 3. In my head: “It’s a long term build, its a long term build…” No change in my enthusiasm for Scott Frost era, but…yuck #huskers
