Maryland receiver dances around Nebraska’s defense for 92-yard score

No. 18 Nebraska hosts Maryland on Saturday afternoon, and the Huskers do it with hopes of merely staying alive in the Big Ten West race.

In a surprise move, Maryland will start true freshman Max Bortenschlager at quarterback against No. 19 Nebraska, a team spokesman confirmed a few minutes before the noon kickoff at Memorial Stadium.

Nebraska scored on first their offensive possession, after some crisp passing by backup Ryker Fyfe.

Riley attributed some of the result to the fans, who he deemed “the best in the world”. One play that stood out was junior linebacker Jesse Aniebonam sacking Ryker Fyfe to cause a turnover on downs in the fourth quarter. This is the first matchup between Nebraska and Maryland, however Head Coach Mike Riley owns a 1-0 record against the Terrapins. “They’re offense functions really well with him in there”. “I promise I’m not surprised”. The total for the game has still is listed at 50 points.

Newby’s strong day has been part of a big day for the Husker senior class. Jordan Westerkamp has seven receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown as well. The combined 121-6 score of the losses to MI and Ohio State finally got the 1892 Maryland team off the hook for largest margin of defeat over a two-game span. The Terrapins are the third-leading rushing team in the conference at 213.7 yards a game and are on pace to average more than 200 yards on the ground for the first time since 2001. He struggled, forcing throws into tough-to-fit windows.

Nate Gerry dropped what would’ve been an easy interception on Maryland’s first series, and Kieron Williams almost picked off a deep pass later in the first quarter.

Their next score came with 12 seconds left in the half. The longest touchdown catch belongs to current Pittsburgh Steelers’ receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (96 yards in 2006).

Hahn’s parents say senior day was a mixture of emotions.

Later, Terrell Newby punched in his first touchdown of the day from eight yards out and Nebraska was up 7-0 with 9:37 left in the first quarter. Maryland has quarterback issues and might again be without three suspended players, including running back Lorenzo Harrison, who’s rushed for 664 yards and five touchdowns.
