Summary
Nebraska clawed back from a shaky first half to dominate Ohio 49-21, but the early struggles—down just 13-14 at halftime—raise red flags for year-four coach Rhule. Despite racking up over 500 yards and holding Ohio under 300, the offense looked disjointed early. Anthony Colandrea made his debut with 275 yards and 3 TDs, no picks, but also 2 sacks, a fumble (recovered), and an intentional grounding penalty. The running backs—Isaiah Mozee, Mekhi Nelson, and Jamal Rule—exploded in the second half, combining for 217 rushing yards and 3 scores, led by Rule’s 122 yards and 3 touchdowns. While flashes of brilliance emerged, especially on offense after halftime, questions linger: can the receivers be more consistent? Can the line protect better? Defense held the run but struggled against QB scrambles. Special teams were mostly solid, but penalties and a bad punt return hint at room for growth.
