Nebraska advances to the final four (1:48)
Tom VanHaaren ESPN Staff Writer
Nebraska flipped four-star athlete Wandale Robinson from Kentucky on Wednesday. Robinson noted the stress of recruiting and outside pressure in committing to in-state Kentucky, and that he's now following his heart to Nebraska. Robinson will fit well within Scott Frost's offense and could make an early impact for the Huskers.
Cowboys' Randy Gregory: 'I was just in a real bad place'

Nebraska wins on late field goal (0:37)
Mitch Sherman ESPN Staff Writer
Nebraska beats Michigan State 9-6 to win its fourth in the past five games as Iowa awaits on Black Friday. There's some meaningful symmetry for the Huskers to finish at home with a fourth-quarter comeback and defensive stand in the snow — 2 1/2 months after thunderstorms cancelled coach Scott Frost's opener, followed a week later by the inability to finish against Colorado.
Nebraska's defense gets huge sack-fumble (0:45)
For one transfer, leaving UCF for Nebraska remains the right call

He says "the trust has grown" between coach Scott Frost and the Huskers' offensive players in this Big Ten season. "As well as our team played," he says of Nebraska's 36-31 loss at Ohio State on Saturday, "I felt like I could have played a lot better."

Tom VanHaaren ESPN Staff Writer

Tom VanHaaren ESPN Staff Writer
