From the recruits’ perspective

The positives;
a HUGE WIN,
swarming defense,
electric crowd/atmosphere,
punishing running game,
serviceable passing game,
the weather,
and beating the shit out of anyone named Sanders on national TV.

The negative;
play calling,
flat 2nd half for everyone,
Satterfield didn’t allow Dylan to find a rhythm,
and lack of focus/discipline 2nd half.

I couldn’t be happier about a win and wandering how that tale of 2 halves is viewed by recruits?

2nd Half

Was very nice to see a great strategy in the 2nd half... Run the ball and shorten the game. I can't remember how many times I sat yelling at the screen when we should have been trying to shorten the game and we are tossing it all over the place and not taking care of the ball. Yes the officiating sucked, but the approach was 100% correct. Great game management with a big lead. Good job of controlling the game with a nice lead. The Big boys are in charge.

Football Postgame Notes: Colorado at Nebraska

Postgame Notes

Colorado at Nebraska (Sept. 7, 2024)


- Nebraska's victory over Colorado marked the Huskers' 50th win in the series. The Huskers now hold a 50-21-2 all-time edge in the series, including 27-9 in Lincoln

- The Huskers' 18-point victory marked its largest against Colorado since a 45-17 victory in 2010

- Nebraska limited Colorado to 16 rushing yards, including six sacks for 41 yards in losses. This marks the 10th time in 14 games under Head Coach Matt Rhule the Huskers have limited the opposition to fewer than 100 yards rushing, including seven games with 75 or fewer yards.

- Colorado's 16 rushing yards are the fewest by a Nebraska opponent since Purdue was held to -2 rushing yards in 2020

- Nebraska recorded six sacks in the game, including four before halftime. The Huskers sacked Colorado eight times for 65 yards in last year's game.

- Nebraska held Colorado to 10 points, marking the ninth consecutive opponent the Huskers have limited to 24 or fewer points. This is the longest stretch Nebraska has limited the opposition to 24 or less points since a 14-game stretch spanning the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

- Nebraska has held each of its past six opponents at Memorial Stadium to 14 or fewer points.

- NU held the CU offense to 260 total yards, marking its ninth consecutive opponent to gain less than 400 yards. The last time Nebraska held opponents to less than 400 yards for nine games was a 14-game stretch spanning the final three games of 2008 and the first 11 games of 2009

- Cornerback Tommi Hill intercepted a CU pass and returned it 7 yards for a touchdown to give Nebraska a 14-0 lead in the second quarter. It was Hill's fifth career interception, and his first interception return for a touchdown.

- Hill's pick-six was the first for Nebraska since Cam Taylor-Britt had a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown against Iowa in 2019. It marked Nebraska's first defensive TD since 2020 (Deontai Williams fumble return TD vs. Penn State) and marked the second straight week the Husker defense has scored after recording a safety last week vs. UTEP.

- Sophomore running back Dante Dowdell opened the scoring for the second straight week with a 12-yard first quarter TD run and added a one-yard TD in the second quarter. Dowdell also scored a touchdown in the first quarter in the season-opening win over UTEP. Dowdell finished the game with 17 carries for 74 yards

- Senior running back Rahmir Johnson caught an 18-yard TD pass to close the first half scoring. The TD reception was Johnson's third career receiving TD and first since 2021. Johnson finished the game with 82 all-purpose yards, including 49 receiving yards on a career-high eight catches (previous high 6 vs. Michigan, 2021). He had nine rushes for 33 yards.

- Punter Brian Buschini had a 60-yard punt downed at the CU 2 in the second quarter which resulted in a Nebraska pick-six on the ensuing play. The 60-yard punt was the fifth of Buschini's Nebraska career. Buschini finished the night with a 50.8-yard average on five punts.

- Nebraska blocked a second-quarter Colorado field goal, marking Nebraska's fifth blocked kick in the past two seasons, including four field goals and one punt.

- Defensive lineman Ty Robinson was credited with the FG block, his second in the past three games (vs. Iowa, 2023). Robinson also had a pass break up on the game's opening play and a 9-yard sack on the third snap of the game.

- Tight end Nate Boerkircher had a career-long 25-yard reception in the third quarter. His previous long was 19 yards vs. North Dakota in 2022

- Linebacker Mikal Gbayor finished the game with six tackles, tying his career high. He also had six tackles at Colorado last season.

- Today's game captains were offensive tackle Bryce Benhart, receiver Jahmal Banks, defensive lineman Ty Robinson and cornerback Marques Buford Jr.

1st play 4 man rush ball knocked down by Robinson
2nd play 4 man rush, dropped pass by Wester 4 yards behind LOS
3rd play 4 man rush, sacked by Robinson
4th play 3 man rush, sacked by Hutmacher

Sanders and Hunter are elite, WRs are good, but the rest of the offense is just bad, especially the OL.

Knocked Shedeur out of the game, and apparently broke Shiloh’s arm…

Not saying, I’m happy to see player injuries…but I ain’t hating it.

Great to have a mean, and dominant D once again.





.

Other Conference games thread.

I watched the first qtr of Indy vs W Ill.. The leathernecks never got of the bus . The first couple TD's were over the top of the defense with ease and 28 to zip before I turned it. 77-3 , wow. The wildcats amd Devils went into overtime with Duke pulling it out. NW 's D looked like they usually do. They have a QB with wheels and a big RB. I will be watching as many games as possible but keying in on Mich and those Monster's of the midway .
