Matt Rhule gets his first win at Nebraska with a dominating smack down of the Northern Illinois Huskies. 35-11, with the Huskies scoring at TD and 2 point PAT late to make it a little less of an ass-kicking than it really was.
It wasn’t a perfect performance for our beloved Huskers, but it was closer than anything we’ve seen in a while. Nebraska’s offense was sluggish in the first half, but got going in the second, with Heinrich Haarberg making the most of his first start.
Nebraska’s defense made sure the game was never in doubt.
