The fourth down play where both Marsh and Becker were wide open for touchdowns is one of the worst defensive plays I’ve seen. Nebraska acted like it was a goal-line situation where all 11 guys can attack the QB

On one hand, Nebraska's defense played well overall and you can't really expect them to contain Marsh and Becker for an entire game

On the other hand, that specific play was such a fucking awful showing for their defense that it seems like it broke their entire team for the rest of the game

I guarantee someone didn't do what they were supposed to on that play. There is no way that is how it was called

I’d venture to guess at least two someones didn’t do what they were supposed to do, not just one.

Just a complete failure.

Arguably you could intentionally leave one person open and expect you get pressure before the QB gets to that option but they would get there much quicker with 2 available

Two were past the secondary, yep
