It’s a great start to the day as receivers Wan’Dale Robinson and Kanawai Noa don’t make the trip. Barrett Pickering is out.

Nebraska starts with the ball!

For some reason Brody Belt decides to take the kick out of the end zone, getting tackled at the 15. The first play from scrimmage loses four yards. Martinez hits Dedrick Mills for eight yards then Martinez rushes for six yards to gain a first down.

Nebraska fails to score.

Matt Waldoch makes the PAT. He played on the club soccer team before he joined the football program. Yay!
