Nebraska Beats Rutgers in What Should Go Down in Husker Lore ... (Corn Nation)

That was a dumpster fire. Nebraska was not good. Rutgers was no different. I mean. If some looked to soothe their palate after the awful Thursday night NFL ...

Nebraska DC Bill Busch to anyone who will listen: "That's going to be a flight home! Got a text saying "Grant killed a guy!" Nebraska football erased a 13-0 deficit in the second half of the 14-13 win over Rutgers on Friday night. It felt like a boulder was on their back and and cement shoes were strapped to their feet at times. But what we should also talk about is this Busch-led defense which has shut out both Indiana and Rutgers in the second half of their respective games. We can and should talk about how disjointed the offense looked on Friday night. Mickey Joseph’s team just needs to find a way to win. Of course and Nebraska fans should be as well. If your team was playing in a “dumpster fire” game would you be happy that they won? It was bad. Rutgers was no different. Nebraska was not good.

Huskers Prevail by a Point in Piscataway (Sports Illustrated)

The Huskers had lost ten straight one possession games and now have earned back-to-back victories in the Big Ten for the first time since 2018. It was sloppy ...

For a few hours the Huskers are sitting in first place in the Big Ten West at 2-1. He still managed to average 40.1 yards on 7 punts but had a season low 24-yarder in the 4th quarter. Brendan Franke had 2 touchbacks on 3 kickoffs, but the team gave up a 24-yard return setting up the Knights at the 37-yard line. But the Grant highlight of the night was the hit he delivered that left a Rutgers defender bloodied and unconscious on the sideline. In adding injury to insult, punter Brian Buschini was banged up on the play and it impacted his punting as a result. Thompson has thrown a touchdown pass in all six games this season and he is the first Husker to throw for a touchdown in each of the first six games since Tommy Armstrong Jr. The last Husker to have a receiving touchdown in three straight games was JD Spielman in the final three games of the 2019 season. Jaquez Yant added 4 carries for 22 yards (a 5.5-yd average) leaving one to wonder where he was on that 4th and 1 play. The Huskers were punchless in the first half, running just three plays in Rutgers territory and netting just 134 yards on seven drives that resulted in five punts and two interceptions. threw a touchdown pass in each of the first seven games in 2016. As a result, the Husker rushing game was nearly nonexistent as they ran for just 72 yards on 29 attempts (a 2.5 yd average). The Huskers had lost ten straight one possession games and now have earned back-to-back victories in the Big Ten for the first time since 2018.

He didn’t return and watched the second half from the sidelines in street clothes and on crutches. The 6-foot, 190-pound third-year player from New Jersey is in the midst of a breakout season. The block Friday – in which his helmet connected with the foot of NU punter Brian Buschini and eventually produced a field goal – was the third in the career of the former three-star recruit with five total offers out of high school. The other starting corner, Quinton Newsome, watched the second half from the sidelines – he left the game with what interim coach Mickey Joseph later called a groin injury. — Brandon Moore peeled off his man in the flat and made a break on a receiver finishing a comeback route.
