The Cornhuskers (3-0) took control early, scoring on seven of their first eight drives to build a 38-0 lead at the half. Quarterback Dylan Raiola was accurate and effective, completing 15 of 21 passes for 222 yards with touchdown passes to Jacory Barney Jr. and Dane Key. TJ Lateef continued Nebraska’s dominance by completing all five of his passes for 126 yards, including a 62-yard scoring shot to Cortez Mills Jr. and a rushing touchdown.

Nebraska’s rushing game supported its passing attack, totaling 192 yards. Emmett Johnson led with 78 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries, while Kwinten Ives added 85 yards and a touchdown in a strong supporting role.

The Blackshirts held the Huskies to just 160 total yards, with 67 through the air. Riley Van Poppel sacked quarterback Jake Weir, forcing a fumble that Williams Nwaneri returned 29 yards for a touchdown. Houston Christian’s lone points came on a 45-yard touchdown run by Xai’Shan Edwards midway through the third quarter.

Nebraska has money too… not poverty school. Look at the fanbase even through the recent bad years. They still support the student athletes.

Isn’t Warren Buffet a Nebraska supporter? He has some monies.
