University Field GAME 54 BYU (35-19) Friday, May 20 1 p.m./3:30 p.m. (ESPNU/ESPN3) Nebraska lost its first game that year before bouncing back to win four games in less than 24 hours. The Huskers knocked off Missouri twice to win the regional, marking the only time since 2008 that the Tigers have failed to win a regional title.
