Nebraska was a massive underdog heading into a road contest at Ohio State, but the Cornhuskers jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after scoring on their first drive of the game.
Scott Frost decided to get tricky on the ensuing kickoff, opting for the surprise onside kick.
It went terribly, horribly wrong, as Caleb Lightbourn's attempted onside kick went, well, backwards.
Oh no

Nebraska's defense bailed out the special teams, getting a stop on 4th down to give the offense the ball back. That led to another special teams mishap, as Ohio State blocked Nebraska's punt to get on the board with a safety.
