Huskers Battle in Valiant Comeback But Fall in Overtime

He finished with 28 carries for 198 yards, and two touchdowns.

The last six times the teams have played, beginning with the 1984 Orange Bowl that brought the Hurricanes their first national title, an electric atmosphere has been the norm.

QB Tommy Armstrong Jr was 24 of 41 with three TDs and one INT while amassing 319 yards, but BYU passed for 379.

It is interesting in this game because the Miami Hurricanes are coming into the game as a three point favorite. Through two games they are averaging 242 yards per game passing, and 210.5 yards per game rushing. “We’re going to show them we got it fixed”. “And to be playing against Nebraska now as the Miami quarterback is a pretty cool feeling”. Newby got the ball early and often for the Huskers’ offense, crushing the spirit of the South Alabama Jaguars. The ‘Huskers converted 70% of their third down opportunities and held a seven-minute advantage in time of possession in last season’s game. According to Omaha.com, Abdullah always knew Terrell Newby was the heir apparent to the I-back throne. The Hurricanes weren’t the only kingmaker, but they were by far the one most comfortable looming over college football’s throne room.

The Hurricanes, on the other hand, are in their fifth year with head coach Al Golden, and they have been with their offensive and defensive coordinators for a total of eight years.

Armstrong finished with 309 yards passing, but threw three costly interceptions.

Contain Armstrong, as it makes the Huskers more one-dimensional and puts the Canes in a position to defend better against the run. That the Nebraska team could be labeled “boring”, for instance, is not really a cause for concern: it is, after all, a school mired on the prairie, far away from blue chip talent, and whose defining motif is that its defense wears plain black jerseys. (NFL, NBA, MLB, National Hockey League and NCAA) Vernon Croy has made his living wagering on sports since 1992 and has been one of the top handicappers in the industry for more than 15 years. While Nebraska enters this game ranking 16th in rushing defense (75.5), they havent faced a pair of running backs like Joe Yearby and Mark Walton.

Alex Lewis was then called for a personal foul, setting Miami up with a short field for their shot to score in overtime, which they did on a 27-yard field goal.

While coaching and teaching is one tool, some players, of course, have the natural instinct. Based on years of the Pelini defense, they’re not used to giving up the big play (unless it’s to Melvin Gordon). Wouldn’t be surprised with an early turnover by each side and a close game at the half.

Nebraska and Miami take a trip down memory lane to the 1980s and ’90s, the era when these programs took turns dominating college football.

In a ideal world, Newby won’t get more than 25 carries per game.

Miami pulls ahead in the third, Nebraska hangs tough and in the end the Canes hang on for the home win-with the Huskers tacking on the late score for style points.
