The Nebraska Cornhuskers took a surprising 7-0 lead over Ohio State on Saturday afternoon, but things started to go awry on the ensuing kickoff.

That’s when the Cornhuskers decided to attempt an onside kick, trying to catch the Buckeyes by surprise.

However, as you can see in the video below, that didn’t go according to plan, as the kicker fell down while attempting the kick, which barely made it a yard before stopping:

Scott Frost may want to rip that play out of the playbook moving forward, as it was pretty embarrassing.

Ohio State has come back to take a 9-7 lead, and already have the ball again, so this could quickly turn into a long day for the Cornhuskers.
