Has Nebraska won a big game in the B1G yet where they didn't have to come from behind?

Unofficially - I think the answer is no. We've had three come-from-behind wins where we were down by double digits this year alone: Wisconsin, Northwestern and now Sparty.

It's a little rough on the ol' blood pressure. I would like to see us figure that out.

Sparty has enough trouble not tripping over itself. When the refs are making horrible calls in the opponent's favor like they were yesterday, MSU really has no chance.

Err.... not sure you watched the game. Two of Sparty's TDs were ref-aided.

No amount of combined wrongs make a right. But it's not like they were calling it one-sided in Nebraska's favor. Both teams ended with nine penalties.

The PI in the end zone on the Sparty DB was an atrocious call. Trumped only, possibly, by the horrible call that brought back the Sparty INT touchdown. Look, I get that you're a Nebraska fan and see things in one direction, but I (unlike you) don't really care who won the game (in fact, if anything, I was cheering for Nebraska b/c the last thing I want is for scUM to be in the Big Ten championship game). But to suggest that the refs didn't screw over MSU is laughable (and to attempt to appeal to the total number of penalties in support for that ridiculous proposition is even worse).
