Lincoln - Nebraska's offense rolled up 575 yards of total yards, but Georgia Southern answered with 642 offensive yards in a 45-42 win over the Huskers at Memorial Stadium on Saturday night.
The Eagles (2-0) scored the go-ahead touchdown on quarterback Kyle Vantrease's eight-yard run with 36 seconds left. Casey Thompson then moved Nebraska quickly into field goal position. His pass to Trey Palmer with one second left, set up a 51-yard field goal attempt by Timmy Bleekrode, which would have forced overtime. But Bleekrode's kick spun wide left, dropping Nebraska to 1-2 on the young season.
