Nebraska looks like the real deal!

Ok so Florida Atlantic probably isn't very good but its been awhile since NU looked to dominate every aspect of the game with a team. Nebraska amassed 784 yards, the most EVER by a Big 10 team. Even though Nebraska didn't get any turnovers they didn't give up any either. Pretty good for a 1st game. Yes, both teams should have had turnovers as they dropped intereptions and fumbled away a fumble.

The highlight was the Jordan Westerkamp behind the back catch. ESPN's No. 1 play of the day and it should have been. WOW!

Ameer Abdullah had 232 yards rushing and looked loke the nation's best.

Westerkamp caught seven passes for 125 yards and a TD.

Tommy Armstrong Jr. just played smart and commanded the Husker's offense without making mistakes. He was just over 50% in completions but he played well throwing for two TD's and rushing for one TD.

And the defense played well also. Defensive linemen were making tackles. McMullen, Collins, Gangwish, and Valentine were disruptive. The linebackers played well along with the secondary. NU gave up some yards early but were awesome the rest of the game.

Great job by the Huskers!! They well exceeded this writer's expectations.

The NU volleyball team will have to regroup as they were swept by No. 3 Stanford today. First time the lady Huskers have been swept at home.

The NU basketball team picked up a really good player for the 2015 recruiting class. Glynn Watson has a four star Rivals 150 rating by Rivals. He is a PG who is ranked No. 86 in the 2015 class. He is only 160 lbs and 5'11". Creighton and Tennessee were also after him. Great job!

The Holdrege Dusters are rated No. 7 by Huskerland Prep this week after knocking off Gothenburg who was rated No. 5. Kearney Catholic, who is in the same district as the Dusters, is rated No. 5. Boone-Central is No.1 and is Cozad No. 5. Maybe the Holdrege Dusters will surprise in C-1 this year after moving down from Class B.

NU basketball's next target is Edward Morrow Jr. from Chicago another four star recruit.

Nebraska is listed No.3 by the Detroit News in this weeks Big10 football power rating. Michigan St. is No.1 and Ohio St. No. 2.

The Minnesota Gophers are looking to a $190 Million imorovement project for their athletic facilities.

Baylor knocked off SMU tonight 45-0.

The surprise this week was Northwestern getting dominated by California this weekend.

Brent Qvale has signed with the Jets to be on their practice squad.
