Cornhuskers Trump Wildcats in Lincoln

November 2, 2013

Northwestern came into Lincoln today in the midst of a free fall, after starting the season 4-0 and ranked as high as #5 in the Top 25, they were 1-3 heading into this one. Make that 1-4 now.

The Wildcats just could not stop the Huskers offensive attack, as the Huskers ran for 305 yards and threw for 178. Taylor Martinez had a great day, scoring 4 total touchdowns, 2 in the air and 2 passing, while amounting over 200 total yards on the day.

Ameer Abdullah continued his fantastic 2013 campaign with a 168 Yard, 1 Touchdown performance. Backup running back Imani Cross added 84 yards off 10 attempts.

Defensively, the Blackshirts bent, but didn't break. They limited Kain Colter offensively to essentially being just a wide receiver, as Colter didn't attempt a pass or a run today. However, Colter did have 7 catches for 72 yards.

The Huskers improve to 6-2 on the season and 3-1 in Big Ten conference play. They travel to Ann Arbor to take on #6 Michigan, who lost today to Michigan State.

Husker Defense Gets Exposed In Ann Arbor

November 9, 2013

Boy, that wasn't pleasant. After playing so well the first 8 games, this young Huskers defense finally just broke down. The Wolverines were able to do literally whatever they wanted, and apparently they wanted to gash the Huskers run defense all over the field. It happens.

The good news for the Huskers? The offense looked solid in the 2nd half. Taylor Martinez threw the ball with confidence in the 2nd half knowing he had nothing to lose. Ameer Abdullah once again continued his great play this year.

This loss sets Nebraska back a bit. They'll take on Michigan State next week, in Lincoln, which will not be any easier of a matchup than today was. MSU beat Michigan last week. Hopefully this young defense will show up next week against the Spartans.

Wow, you had the #1 rush defense and it looks like Fitz Toussaint destroyed it. Down 31-0 at the half. On to the next. Can still get into a decent bowl with 3 losses.

It was brutal. I had a couple turnovers in the 1st half that gave Michigan great field position, too. As if they needed it.

It's funny, before that UM loss, I had done a pretty fair job at replaying the Huskers real-life season. Loss to UCLA, loss @ Minnesota.
