Summary
Nebraska dominated their season opener with a 49-21 win over Ohio University, led by a stellar debut from QB Anthony Colandrea and an historic breakout performance from freshman RB Jamal Rule, who rushed for over 100 yards and three touchdowns—marking the first such opener for a Husker freshman since 2004. After a shaky start that saw Ohio score early, Nebraska tied it up with Rule’s first TD and then locked down defensively in the second half, holding Ohio to just one score. The offense exploded after halftime, adding 35 points, including a touchdown run from Colandrea, as the ground game surged with 183 rushing yards in the second half. Nebraska now heads home for a 6 PM showdown against Bowling Green, ready to build on this momentum. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
