Nebraska has also had 20 players start on defense. Fyfe threw for 407 yards, the fifth-most in Nebraska school history, and the first 400- yard passing game by a Husker since Jordan Westerkamp had nine receptions for 123 yards for his third 100-yard receiving game in Westerkamp moved into the top five on the Nebraska career receiving yardage list. Stanley Morgan Jr. had a 42-yard kickoff return in the second quarter, the longest by a Husker this season, bettering Morgan's 27- yard return at Miami. Brandon Reilly had a career-long 52-yard reception in the fourth quarter, bettering a 49-yard catch against Southern Miss earlier this season. Lane Hovey had a 17-yard touchdown reception on the first play of the fourth quarter, the first TD reception of Hovey's career. Drew Brown had an extra point blocked, marking the first missed PAT of his career. Brown made the first 86 extra points of his Husker career Huskers Suffer series of close losses Nebraska is 3-6 after a 10-point loss at Purdue. The 10-point loss was Nebraska's largest after the first five losses were by a total of 13 points. Nebraska's first four losses were especially difficult. Each of the first four setbacks occurred with the opponent scoring the winning points on the game's final play or in overtime. According to Stats, Inc., NU is only the second FBS team since 2006 to lose four games in which the opponent scored the winning points in the final 10 seconds or overtime. (SMU, 2007). Nebraska's loss to BYU came when the Cougars completed a Hail Mary on the game's final play as time expired. NU rallied from a 23-point fourth-quarter deficit at Miami to force overtime. The Hurricanes escaped with a win after kicking a walk-off game-winning field goal. The third close loss came as Illinois drove 72 yards in the game's final minute and scored with 10 seconds left for a win. Wisconsin kicked a 46-yard game-winning field goal with four seconds left for a win. The Badgers drove 46 yards in six plays in 59 seconds to get into field goal range. Injuries continue to Shuffle nebraska lineup Nebraska has battled an unusually large number of injuries in 2015, forcing the Huskers to use makeshift lineups. The most recent significant injury kept three-year starting quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. out of the Purdue game with a foot injury. Armstrong had made 22 consecutive starts, and is hopeful of returning against Michigan State. The injuries have forced NU to use 20 different starters on both offense and defense in Those on the injured list as of last week include: Armstrong's missed game ended a streak of 22 consecutive starts dating back to Sophomore receiver De'Mornay Pierson-El suffered a leg injury at Purdue and is out. Pierson-El had missed the first four games of 2015 with a foot injury. Junior I-back Terrell Newby injured his ankle after a strong start at Purdue with 56 first-half rushing yards. Newby's status for Michigan State is uncertain. Junior receiver Alonzo Moore (shoulder) was injured early in the Northwestern game, and did not return. He missed the game at Purdue, and his status for Michigan State is uncertain. Senior defensive tackle Kevin Williams (groin) has missed the past five games, but could return this week. Junior linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey suffered a groin injury during the Miami game and missed the next four games. He returned in a limited role against Northwestern, but aggravated the injury and missed the Purdue contest. He remains doubtful for this week. Redshirt freshman linebacker Luke Gifford (hip) has been sidelined the past three games. Starting right tackle Nick Gates injured his left ankle against Wisconsin and missed the second half and the last three games. He was available for limited duty against Northwestern and Purdue, but did not play. Sophomore linebacker Chris Weber has started four games at middle linebacker. He was sidelined by a neck injury for two games. He made the trip to Purdue, but did not play. Several other Huskers have returned to action in recent weeks after missing significant time. Junior defensive tackle Kevin Maurice made his first career start at Illinois, but suffered a foot injury in the game. He missed the next three games, before returning at Purdue. Junior defensive tackle Vincent Valentine (ankle) was injured in the second half against South Alabama and missed three games. Redshirt freshman defensive end Freedom Akinmoladun (knee) started four games at defensive end. Akinmoladun missed the Wisconsin and Minnesota contests, before returning the past two games. Starting linebacker Josh Banderas (groin) missed four of five games before returning to action the past three weeks. Senior cornerback Daniel Davie (groin) missed three games before returning to start against Northwestern. Senior defensive end and captain Jack Gangwish (elbow) was injured against BYU and missed the following three games. True freshman linebacker Dedrick Young (toe) was unable to play against South Alabama. Senior tight end David Sutton used a strong fall camp to earn a starting role. However, he suffered a serious ankle sprain against BYU which kept him out for six games, before he returned two weeks ago. Punter Sam Foltz sprained his ankle against BYU and missed the South Alabama game, before returning at Miami.

Dating back to last season, Armstrong has 23 touchdown passes in his past 10 games, including 16 in His 47 career passing touchdowns are second on the NU career charts, nine shy of Taylor Martinez's school record. His 22 passing touchdowns in 2014 were the fourth most in school history. Armstrong threw at least one touchdown pass in 10 straight games prior to the Illinois game. That streak was one shy of the Nebraska school record. Armstrong had a career-high 431 yards of total offense against Southern Miss, bettering his 422 yards against USC in the Holiday Bowl. Armstrong has eight career games of at least 300 yards of total offense, including 304 yards vs. Northwestern. Armstrong is averaging yards of total offense per game to rank second in the Big Ten and 24th nationally.

Armstrong cracked the 6,000-yard total offense mark against Illinois, and sits No. 3 on the NU career total offense list with 6,877 yards. Armstrong has 2,309 yards of total offense in 2015, just shy of the season top 10. Against Southern Miss, Armstrong became the 10th Nebraska quarterback to surpass 1,000 career rushing yards. He now has 1,164 rushing yards. Armstrong is one of only eight active FBS quarterbacks with 5,000 career passing yards and 1,000 career rushing yards. The other seven QBs on the list are seniors. Armstrong is one of only 18 players in the FBS ranks to run, throw and catch a touchdown pass during their career. Armstrong set Nebraska bowl records for attempts (51), completions (32), passing yards (381) and total offense yards (422) in the Holiday Bowl against USC. In 2014, Armstrong passed for 2,695 yards and 22 touchdowns, while rushing for 705 yards and six touchdowns. His 3,400 yards of total offense was third-best total in NU history. His yards of total offense per game ranked second in the Big Ten and 35th nationally. Westerkamp is leader of strong NU receiving corps Junior receiver Jordan Westerkamp is the leader of an outstanding Husker receiving corps and one of six team captains for Westerkamp has had great production throughout his career, putting him in a position to make a strong impression on the NU record book. In 2015, Westerkamp has 49 catches for 658 yards and five touchdowns, an average of 13.4 yards per catch. Westerkamp is fifth in the Big Ten in receptions per game (5.4) and sixth in receiving yards per game (73.1). With 49 catches for 658 yards, Westerkamp continues to move up the NU charts. He is now fifth on the NU career receiving yardage list with 1,688 yards. his 49 receptions in 2015 are 10th on the NU season receptions list, while his yardage total is less than 100 yards from cracking the top 10 on the season list. Westerkamp had a career-high 11 receptions for 118 yards against Southern Miss. The 11 catches were tied for third on the Nebraska single-game receptions list. Westerkamp had a season-high 123 receiving yards at Purdue for his third 100-yard game of 2015 (107 vs. BYU, 118 vs. Southern Miss). The season record is four 100-yard games, accomplished five times in NU history. Westerkamp has six career 100-yard receiving games to rank third on the NU career list in that category. Westerkamp is seventh on the NU career receptions list with 113. He is the ninth player in school history with 100 career receptions. Westerkamp caught a touchdown pass in five straight games prior to not having a TD at Illinois. The streak was one shy of the NU school record of six consecutive games with a TD reception set by Johnny Rodgers in Westerkamp (118) and fellow junior Brandon Reilly (112) each topped 100 receiving yards against Southern Miss. That marked only the second time in NU history a pair of wideouts topped 100 receiving yards in the same game. Westerkamp and Kenny Bell combined for the feat against FAU in Westerkamp has caught a pass in 22 straight games, marking the eighth time in school history a player has had a streak of at least 20 consecutive games with a catch. Westerkamp caught 44 passes last season, ranking just outside of the Nebraska singleseason top 10 in receptions. Westerkamp averaged 17.0 yards per catch last season, with 747 receiving yards on his 44 receptions. The 747 yards were the 11thbest season total in school history.

7 PAGE 7 Husker aerial attack strong Nebraska topped the 300-yard passing mark in each of the first four games this season, and had a season-high 407 passing yards at Purdue. The 407 passing yards ranked as the fifth most in school history. The Huskers average passing yards per game to rank second in the Big Ten and 27th nationally. Nebraska topped the 300-yard passing mark in five straight games before being held to 105 yards through the air on a blustery day at Illinois. That tied the longest streak of 300-yard passing games in Nebraska history, matching a streak that spanned the final four games of the 2007 season and the 2008 opener. Nebraska's passing success is in large part due to excellent protection. The Huskers have allowed 12 sacks this season, and the 1.33 sacks per game allowed is fourth in the Big Ten. NU Offense Continuing Strong 2015 production Nebraska ranks third in the Big Ten in total offense at yards per game. Nebraska's top output of the season was against Southern Miss when NU gained 610 yards and had 10 plays of at least 20 yards. Nebraska has 160 plays from scrimmage of at least 10 yards. That total ranks 10th in the nation and is the most among Big Ten teams. Nebraska scored 48 points at Minnesota, marking its highest scoring output in a Big Ten Conference game. The last time NU scored more points in a conference game was a win at Oklahoma State in The offensive output sparked the 23-point win at Minnesota, marking NU's fourth Big Ten road win of 20 points or more since joining the league in Newby Leading Running Game Nebraska has produced three 200-yard rushing games in 2015, and is 3-0 when topping that rushing plateau. Junior I-back Terrell Newby has paced the running game, by running for 697 yards and five touchdowns. Newby's season was highlighted by a career night against South Alabama. Newby rushed 28 times for 198 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught an eight-yard touchdown pass, giving him a career-high three touchdowns. Newby was honored for his effort as the co-big Ten Offensive Player of the Week. Newby had nine rushes of at least 10 yards against USA, including a 32-yard run. He also caught a 30-yard pass out of the backfield. Newby had his second 100-yard game of 2015 at Minnesota with 116 yards on just 13 carries. He had a career-long 69-yard touchdown run to open the scoring for Nebraska. Newby ranks sixth in the Big Ten in rushing at 77.4 yards per game. Newby joined the 1,000-yard career rushing club at Illinois. He has 1,286 career rushing yards, making him the 63rd Husker with 1,000 career rushing yards. With 697 rushing yards, Newby is hopeful of continuing a streak of Husker 1,000-yard rushers. Nebraska has had a 1,000-yard rusher for six straight seasons. That is the longest stretch for NU since the Huskers had at least one 1,000-yard rusher in a school-record seven straight seasons from 1979 to Six straight 1,000-yard rushers Year Player Yards 2014 Ameer Abdullah 1, Ameer Abdullah 1, Ameer Abdullah 1, Rex Burkhead 1, Roy Helu Jr. 1, Roy Helu Jr. 1,147 a throwback to the fullback Senior fullback Andy Janovich has become a solid option in the offense evoking memories of past NU fullback greats. Janovich first excelled against Southern Miss with five rushes for 68 yards, including runs of 28 and 25 yards. He also caught a 53-yard pass in the game. The 68 rushing yards were the most by a Nebraska fullback since Judd Davies rushed for 119 yards at Baylor in The 53-yard reception was the longest by a Nebraska fullback since at least Janovich rushed a team-high 11 times for 43 yards at Illinois. The 11 carries were the most by an NU fullback since Judd Davies had 12 carries at Baylor in Against Wisconsin, Janovich tied for the team high with 59 rushing yards. In the fourth quarter, he had a 55-yard touchdown run to give NU a advantage. The 55-yard TD run was the longest run by a Nebraska fullback since a 57-yard run by Judd Davies against Baylor in The 55- yard Janovich score was the longest TD run by a Husker fullback since Tom Rathman had an 84-yard touchdown run in Janovich had entered the Southern Miss game with six career rushing yards and 29 career receiving yards.

8 PAGE 8 husker highlights 1 Nebraska football is the only team in any sport in NCAA history to boast 100 athletic All- Americans and 100 academic All-Americans. 2 Nebraska is the only program to have at least two players selected in every NFL Draft of the Common Draft Era (since 1967). 3 Three Huskers have won the Heisman Trophy, all since Johnny Rodgers won in 1972, Mike Rozier in 1983 and Eric Crouch in Nebraska ranks fourth in NCAA history with 877 all-time victories. The Huskers are one of only 10 teams with 800 all-time wins. 5 Nebraska has won five national titles: 1970, 1971, 1994, 1995 and The Huskers have won the second-most national titles of any school in the country since Nebraska ranks ninth nationally with a total of 23 former players and coaches (17 players, six coaches) who have been enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. 22 Nebraska leads the nation with a former Husker on a Super Bowl roster for 22 consecutive years. 43 The Huskers have won 43 conference titles in program history, including 33 perfect conference seasons and 27 unbeaten seasons. 51 Nebraska ranks third in NCAA history with 51 all-time bowl appearances. The Huskers are one of only five teams to appear in 50 bowl games. 107 Nebraska football has totaled 107 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, the most of any team in any sport in NCAA history. 320 Across all sports, the University of Nebraska has totaled a nation-leading 320 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, 74 more than any other school. 346 Memorial Stadium has been sold out for an NCAA-record 346 consecutive games dating back to Nov. 3, Blackshirts Stopping run The Blackshirt defense has shown the ability to be stingy against the run in NU opponents are averaging rushing yards per game. The Huskers are fourth in the Big Ten and 13th nationally in that category. Nebraska limited Minnesota to 65 rushing yards on Oct. 17, the third opponent to rush for less than 70 yards. Nebraska held Southern Miss to 11 rushing yards, its best run defense effort since Michigan had -17 rushing yards in South Alabama had just 19 rushing yards. NU opponents are gaining 3.7 yards per rush, the fifth-best mark in the Big Ten. collins Showing Power, DOminance up front Junior defensive tackle Maliek Collins is one of the leaders of the Blackshirts in The Kansas City native is one of six captains and a candidate for conference and national honors this fall. Collins has stepped up his play since the start of Big Ten action, and had his best game at Illinois. Collins' play is a key reason why Nebraska is among the nation's best against the run. Collins had a career-high nine tackles against Illinois, including a career-high 1.5 sacks for 12 yards. Collins also tied his career high with three tackles for loss and added a pass breakup at the line of scrimmage. Collins has 26 total tackles in 2015, including five tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and four quarterback hurries. Collins had a standout sophomore campaign earning second-team All-Big Ten honors. Collins recorded 14 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks last season. Brown kicks way into record books Sophomore place-kicker Drew Brown had a record-setting performance against Southern Miss. Brown made five field goals, all in the first half, in the Huskers' victory. Brown's five field goals in a half tied an NCAA record. Brown now shares the record with fellow Husker Dale Klein (1985 at Missouri) and New Mexico State's Dat Ly (1988 at Kansas) who also had five field goals in a half. Brown's five field goals were the most ever by a Husker in Lincoln, and tied a Memorial Stadium record, held by two opposing kickers. The five field goals marked the third time in NU history a kicker had five or more field goals. Klein had an NCAA record seven field goals at Missouri in 1985, and Alex Henery had five field goals at Virginia Tech in The effort against Southern Miss is the highlight of a strong season. Brown is third in the Big Ten in field goals per game (1.67 pg) and his 15 field goals are tops in the conference. Brown has had multiple field goals five times in Brown ranks third in the Big Ten in scoring at 8.4 points per game. Brown connected on field goals of 43 and 48 yards against Northwestern, and made a 41-yarder at Purdue. Brown has made his last five field goals and is 9-of-13 beyond 40 yards this season. Brown's streak of 86 straight PAT conversions to start his career ended with a blocked extra point at Purdue. Foltz Provides Big Leg in Nebraska Punting game Junior punter Sam Foltz teams with Brown to give Nebraska a strong tandem in the kicking game. Foltz has shown throughout the season why he is a leading candidate for the Ray Guy Award. Foltz averages 45.3 yards per punt to rank second in the Big Ten and ninth nationally. Foltz has 14 punts of at least 50 yards, including a career-high five at Illinois. He was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the Illini. Foltz has downed 10 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line, including five inside the opponent's 10-yard line in Big Ten play. Foltz's strong leg helps Nebraska average 38.5 yards in net punting. That total is third in the Big Ten. Turnovers, Takeaways a Key Factor for Huskers Nebraska will be striving to improve its ability to create turnovers in the final three games of the regular season. The turnover margin category has been a key factor in Nebraska's fortunes this season. In three wins, Nebraska has a +4 turnover margin, including seven takeaways and just three turnovers. In six losses, Nebraska is a minus-12 in turnovers with just two takeaways in those six games. Nebraska had a plus-3 turnover margin in its win at Minnesota, including an interception for a touchdown. That marked Nebraska's first plus-3 turnover margin in a conference game since a 2010 win over Colorado when the Huskers also had no turnovers and three takeaways. The Huskers had just two offensive turnovers in the first four Big Ten games, before a seasonhigh five turnovers at Purdue. The Huskers went 198 offensive snaps without a turnover before a second-quarter interception against Northwestern.

9 PAGE 9 Riley & Staff Bring Diverse Offensive Attack to Lincoln Head Coach Mike Riley has a long history of offensive success in his previous coaching stops. Riley s offenses have shown the ability to attack defenses both on the ground and through the air. In 2003, Oregon State was the first team in NCAA FBS history to have a 4,000-yard passer (Derek Anderson), a 1,500-yard rusher (Steven Jackson) and two 1,000-yard receivers (James Newson and Mike Hass). The 2003 Beaver offense was the first offense in the history of the Pac-12 conference to accumulate 6,000 yards of total offense in a season.

Three of Riley's OSU quarterbacks are active in the NFL (Derek Anderson, Sean Mannion and Matt Moore). Six of the top 10 single-season rushing totals in OSU history were under Riley. Riley's running Backs Oregon State running backs Steven Jackson and Jacquizz Rodgers both earned multiple All-America awards playing in Riley s offense. Oregon State running backs earned 11 all conference honors under Riley, including 2008 Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year Jacquizz Rodgers, the first freshman in conference history to win the award. Oregon State running backs produced nine 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 14 years with Riley as head coach. All four 3,000-yard rushers in Beaver history played under Riley. Riley's Receivers Two of Riley s receivers at OSU - Mike Hass in 2005 and Brandin Cooks in won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation s top receiver. Riley is the only current FBS coach who has had two players win the Biletnikoff Award. Brandin Cooks set Pac-12 season records for most receptions and receiving yards in Three of the top 12 receptions leaders in Pac- 12 history played under Riley at OSU. Two of the top three players in Pac-12 singleseason receiving yardage played for Riley. Seven of the top eight receivers in Oregon State history were coached by Riley. Beaver receivers earned All-America honors six times under Riley and his staff and Pac- 10/12 postseason honors seven times. SIX PLAYERS SERVING AS CAPTAINS Six players are serving as captains for the 2015 Huskers.

10 PAGE 10 home of the huskers Memorial Stadium's history dates back more than 90 years. In the fall of 1922, a drive for $430,000 in stadium construction funds was undertaken by faculty, students, alumni and friends of the University. The quota was over subscribed. The stadium was named Memorial Stadium to honor all Nebraskans who served in the Civil and Spanish-American Wars; the 751 Nebraskans who died in World War I; the 3,839 in World War II; the 225 in Korea; the 422 in Vietnam; and those in Iraq. Construction was completed in a few more than 90 working days and Memorial Stadium was dedicated on Oct. 20, 1923, at the Homecoming game in which Nebraska was held to a scoreless tie by Kansas. The field at Memorial Stadium was named Tom Osborne Field - after the Huskers' legendary Hall-of-Fame coach - in 1998, one year after Osborne's retirement following 25 years and 250 victories as Nebraska's head coach.

49 Game 1 BYU 33, Nebraska 28 SCORE BY QUARTERS FINAL BYU Nebraska Lincoln (Sept. 5) --- Tanner Mangum s 42-yard Hail Mary pass to Mitch Mathews on 4th-and-3 as time expired gave BYU a win over Nebraska in the season opener for both teams. Nebraska erased a 10-point halftime deficit and took a lead after Trey Foster s nine-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Armstrong Jr. midway through the third quarter, as Armstrong completed 24-of-41 passes for 319 yards with three touchdowns. BYU closed to within after Trevor Samson s 35-yard field goal with 7:57 left. The Huskers were unable to convert on the ground on a pair of 3rd-and-1 runs late in the game, but Armstrong led Nebraska into field goal position on its final drive with less than a minute left. However Drew Brown missed a 41- yard field goal with 48 seconds left to give BYU a final chance. Mangum, who replaced an injured Taysom Hill, guided the Cougars to past midfield before his heave to Mathews, who caught the ball over two Husker defenders and fell into the end zone for the game winner, snapping Nebraska s 29-yard winning streak in season openers. Hill finished with 268 yards passing and one touchdown while rushing for two scores before leaving the game with a season-ending foot injury. Mangum completed 7-of-11 passes for 111 yards and a TD. Nebraska got off to a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, as Armstrong connected on scoring passes to Jordan Westerkamp and Alonzo Moore. Westerkamp, who caught seven passes for 107 yards, opened the game on a nifty catch and run, escaping several would-be tacklers en route to the score. Hill and the Cougars controlled the second quarter, beginning with a 21-yard Hill touchdown run to tie the game at 14 with 13:13 left in the half. After Samson s first field goal gave the Cougars the lead, Hill connected with Mathews for a 15-yard passing touchdown to push BYU s edge to heading to the half. Nebraska s defense turned the tide in the third quarter, as safety Nate Gerry picked off Hill and returned it 43 yards to the BYU 35. The Huskers capitalized three plays later as Terrell Newby went the final 10 yards to pull the Huskers within The Blackshirts shut down the Cougars on the next two drives to set up an eight-play, 62-yard march capped by Armstrong s nine-yard touchdown pass to tight end Foster to give the hosts a four-point lead.

Alabama 9 SCORE BY QUARTERS FINAL South Alabama Nebraska Lincoln (Sept. 12) --- Nebraska used a balanced offense and a stingy defense in posting a 48-9 win over South Alabama, giving Mike Riley his first win as head coach of the Huskers. Terrell Newby raced to career highs of 198 yards and a pair of scores, while also catching an eight-yard touchdown grab, as the Huskers took a 24-0 halftime lead and cruised to the win. Nebraska was opportunistic on defense, forcing three turnovers that led to 17 Husker points, while holding South Alabama to just 19 rushing yards. Tommy Armstrong Jr. orchestrated a Nebraska passing game that accounted for 303 yards and three touchdowns, as he finished 21-of-30 for 270 yards and two scores. Newby, who carried a then-career-high 17 times for a careerhigh 118 yards in the first half alone, accounted for all three Husker touchdowns in the first half, as the Big Red raced to a 24-0 lead. Newby capped NU s first drive with a 13-yard scoring run before his eight-yard TD reception four minutes later staked the Huskers to a 14-0 cushion. Newby tacked on his third score of the half midway through the second stanza, scoring from eight yards to put NU ahead Nebraska took advantage of a South Alabama turnover in the final seconds of the half, as the Huskers recovered a muffed punt and capitalized three plays later as Drew Brown added a 42-yard field goal as time expired to send Nebraska to the locker room up While Newby controlled the ground game, Brandon Reilly and Lane Hovey were the primary targets for Armstrong, as NU rolled up 561 yards of total offense. Reilly notched five receptions for 71 yards, while Hovey pulled down career highs of five receptions for 68 yards. The Blackshirts held South Alabama scoreless for nearly three quarters and didn t allow a touchdown until 3:36 left in the fourth quarter. Michael Rose-Ivey, making his first appearance since the 2014 Gator Bowl, led NU with 10 tackles, while Jonathan Rose added a career-high eight tackles.

Trailing with 11:14 left, Armstrong led Nebraska to 23 unanswered points to send the game to overtime. The Huskers comeback included a trio of fourth-quarter touchdown passes from Armstrong to Alonzo Moore, Brandon Reilly and Stanley Morgan Jr., and a pair of two-point conversion passes to Cethan Carter and Jordan Westerkamp, the last coming with 33 seconds remaining. Morgan caught four passes for 78 yards and a TD, while Reilly also had four receptions for 83 yards, including a 41-yard catch to set up Nebraska s game-tying score. The Huskers had the ball first in the overtime session, but Armstrong, who completed 21-of-45 passes for 309 yards and four scores, was intercepted by Corn Elder on NU s first play of the extra period. Miami won the game moments later as Michael Badgley s fifth field goal of the game provided the Hurricanes with a three-point win.

Armstrong accounted for all three scores, throwing a pair of touchdown strikes, while his 16-yard scoring run with 9:30 left provided the Huskers with the winning margin. Armstrong accounted for a careerhigh 431 yards of total offense, including 23-of-35 passing for 368 yards through the air. Brown connected on five first-half field goals, including a career-long 50-yarder as time expired in the first half, matching an NCAA record for field goals in a half done on two previous occasions, including by NU s Dale Klein in Brown s kick also tied the Memorial Stadium record for field goals in a game. Nebraska got off to a quick start, going 71 yards on eight plays on its first series as Armstrong found Jordan Westerkamp for a six-yard TD catch. It was the start of a big day for Westerkamp, who finished with a career-high 11 receptions for 118 yards. The Huskers scored on all six of their first-half possessions, as Brown kicked field goals of 29, 27, 40, 22 and 50 yards to stake the Huskers to a 22-0 lead.

51 Game 5 Illinois 14, Nebraska 13 SCORE BY QUARTERS FINAL Nebraska Illinois Champaign, Ill. (Oct. 3) -- For the fourth time in five contests, the outcome of Nebraska s football game was not decided until the opponent s final offensive play, as Illinois Wes Lunt found Geronimo Allison for a one-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds left, lifting the Fighting Illini to a victory. Lunt s touchdown pass and Taylor Zalewski s ensuing extra point allowed Illinois to rally from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit. Nebraska had the ball with 3rd-and-7 at the Illinois 27-yard line, but to run out the clock, as NU threw a pair of incompletions to give the Fighting Illini 51 seconds to work with. Lunt, who threw for 251 yards and a pair of TDs, hit Sam Mays for a 15-yard completion before he connected with Malik Turner on a 50-yard strike to get to the NU 7 with 40 seconds left. A pair of pass interference calls put the ball at the 1-yard line before Allison s diving catch tied the game. Nebraska outgained Illinois on the ground, , thanks to a career-high 70 yards on just seven carries from Devine Ozigbo. The freshman scored the game s first points in the second quarter with his first career touchdown, a nifty 19-yard run to put Nebraska up 7-0 with 12:35 left in the first half. Armstrong, who completed just 10-of-31 passes for 105 yards with one interception, helped stake the Big Red to a 13-0 lead through three quarters. Early in the second quarter, Armstrong s 32-yard run put the Huskers in Illinois territory before Ozigbo scored two plays later. The Huskers extended the lead to 10-0 in the final seconds of the half, going 57 yards in eight plays, including a career-long 55-yard catch by Cethan Carter, to set up Drew Brown s 39-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the half. Brown s second field goal of the day, this one from 28 yards, extended NU s lead to 13-0 with 2:55 left in the third quarter as the Blackshirts held the Illini off the scoreboard. Sophomore Chris Weber keyed the defensive effort with a career-high 17 tackles, including three tackles for loss, while Maliek Collins added a career-high nine tackles, including 1.5 sacks.

The Huskers, whose four losses have all come on the opponent s final offensive play, fell to 2-4, while Wisconsin improved to 4-2. It marked the seventh time in NU s past eight games dating to last season, that Nebraska s outcome has been decided by a single score. Gaglianone s field goal, which followed his 39-yard miss that hit the right upright with 1:26 left in the game, spoiled a fourth-quarter comeback by the Huskers. Trailing after Gaglianone s 42-yard field goal with 6:17 left, Nebraska put together its best drive of the second half to regain the lead. On 3rd-and-15 from the NU 20, Tommy Armstrong Jr. scrambled for a 16-yard gain to spark the offense. Two plays later, Andy Janovich turned a 3rd-and-1 into a touchdown, breaking two tackles and going a career-high 55 yards to tie the game at 20. Drew Brown then gave NU a one-point lead with 3:38 left on his extra point. Nebraska rushed for 196 yards against a stingy Badger rush defense, as Janovich and Terrell Newby had 59 yards apiece. Armstrong added 50 more on eight carries, including a 7-yard TD run. Wisconsin outgained Nebraska, in total offense on the day, as UW s Joel Stave completed 24-of-50 passes for 322 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown pass to Troy Fumagalli to open the scoring in the second quarter for Wisconsin. Despite Wisconsin s yardage advantage, the Huskers appeared to have the game in hand when Gaglianone missed his second field goal of the game, a 39-yarder that hit the right upright, with 1:26 left. However, the Badgers had all three of their timeouts remaining, and forced the Huskers to a three-and-out while spending just 12 seconds on the game clock. Wisconsin took over after Sam Foltz s 47-yard punt against the wind pushed the Badgers to their own 30 to start their final drive with 1:03 left. In 54 seconds, Stave moved UW to the NU 28 when Gaglianone booted the decisive field goal. Trailing 7-0, the Huskers took the lead in the final minutes before the half. NU went 77 yards on 14 plays, taking 6:56 of the clock before Armstrong s TD tied the game at seven. After holding Wisconsin to three-andout, NU struck quickly, going 62 yards on five plays as Armstrong found Alonzo Mooe for a leaping catch in the endzone to put NU up 14-7 at the break. Wisconsin pulled within on a 45-yard field goal by Gaglianone before scoring 10 early fourth quarter points to a take a advantage. Dare Ogunbowale led the Badger ground game with 18 carries for 117 yards, as his work on the ground sparked the Badger offense late. Alec Ingold s one yard TD run made it with 10:08 left before Gaglianone s second field goal gave the Badgers a advantage.

52 Game 7 Nebraska 48, Minnesota 25 SCORE BY QUARTERS FINAL Arkansas Nebraska State Nebraska Minnesota Minneapolis, Minn. (Oct. 17) -- Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw three touchdown passes while Terrell Newby picked up his second 100-yard effort of the season, as Nebraska snapped a two-game losing streak against Minnesota with a victory. Nebraska s win, the first Big Ten win under Coach Mike Riley, was sparked by 21 unanswered points after Minnesota pulled within Armstrong completed 18-of-26 passes for 261 yards on the day, including touchdown strikes to Alonzo Moore, Cethan Carter and De Mornay Pierson-El. Newby rushed for 116 yards and two scores on just 13 carries, including a career-long 69-yard touchdown. After falling behind 7-0, the Huskers needed just three plays to tie the score as Newby went untouched. Nebraska s defense turned the first of three turnovers midway through the first quarter, as Nathan Gerry forced a fumble and Jack Gangwish recovered at the Gopher 29-yard line. Three plays later, Armstrong turned the Gopher gaffe into points with a 32-yard touchdown strike to Moore to give the Big Red a 14-7 lead. Moore finished the day with four receptions for a career-high 84 yards. The teams traded scores before the Huskers found paydirt late in the half to take a 10-point lead. NU went 75 yards in eight plays, as Newby s second score of the day came on a nine-yard run to make it Nebraska dominated the third quarter, outgaining Minnesota The Blackshirts all but shut down the Gopher offense in the period, while Armstrong s 10-yard touchdown pass to Carter with 4:16 left in the period capped a 10-play, 99-yard march to put the Huskers up The lead grew even more when Pierson-El made a highlight-reel, 14-yard touchdown grab just 39 seconds into the final quarter to give NU a cushion. Minnesota fought back, scoring a touchdown and a two-point conversion to cut the deficit to before a 39-yard field goal with 6:49 left cut the margin to Newby secured Minnesota s on-side kick attempt, and Armstrong connected with Westerkamp on a gutsy 27-yard completion on 3rd-and-6 at the NU 42 to put Nebraska within scoring range at the Minnesota 31. That set up Drew Brown s 41-yard field goal to push the lead back to 16. Joshua Kalu sealed the game on Minnesota s next possession, picking off a Mitch Leidner pass and returning it 41 yards for the score. The touchdown capped a fine performance by the sophomore, who also had seven tackles in the win.

The Huskers trailed with 7:27 left before Tommy Armstrong Jr. orchestrated a nine-play, 75-yard scoring drive that culminated with Armstong s second touchdown run of the day with 4:23 left. The Huskers went for the two-point conversion to try and tie the score, but the pass fell incomplete, as Nebraska suffered its fifth loss by five points or less. The incompletion left the game in the hands of the Blackshirts, who were unable to get off the field against the Wildcats, who ran out the final 4:23. Nebraska s best chance to force a Northwestern punt came on 3rd-and-3 at the Wildcat 32, but Clayton Thorson hit Justin Jackson on a short pass that Jackson turned into a 28-yard completion. Jackson carried the next two plays, picking up another first down with an eight-yard run to seal the Wildcat victory. Jackson finished with 14 carries for 40 yards while adding two receptions for 55 yards, but it was Thorson who did the most damage. The Wildcat quarterback carried nine times for 126 yards and one score. His 68 yard run set up Northwestern s first score while he added a 49-yard run on the final minute of the first half to set up a field goal and give Northwestern a halftime lead. Those two long plays accounted for nearly all of Northwestern s 128 first-half yards, but a 72-yard interception return for a touchdown by Nick VanHoose with 7:17 left in the half was the biggest play of the game. The Huskers trailed 14-5 after the interception, but Nebraska answered back, as Armstrong found Reilly for a 10-yard touchdown to pull the Huskers within Reilly finished with four receptions for 83 yards Armstrong struggled through the air in the first half, but finished 24-of-48 for 291 yards on the day. Jordan Westerkamp led the Husker receivers with five receptions for 92 yards, while De Mornay Pierson-El added five catches for 31 yards. Thorson finished with 303 yards of total offense for Northwestern, including 177 yards on 13-of-28 passing. His 37-yard touchdown pass to Dan Vitale with 9:53 left in the fourth quarter gave the lead back to Northwestern at 27-22, after the Huskers had taken a lead on the first play of the quarter with Drew Brown s 48-yard field goal. After trailing at half, Nebraska regained the lead on its opening drive of the third quarter with a massive 15-play, 75-yard march, capped by Armstrong s four-yard TD run. Northwestern answered with an 18-yard field goal by Mitchell on its only drive of the third quarter to take a lead to the final quarter.

53 Game 9 Purdue 55, Nebraska 45 SCORE BY QUARTERS FINAL Arkansas Nebraska State Nebraska Purdue West Lafayette (Oct. 31) -- An injury-riddled Nebraska team turned the ball over five times and suffered a loss to Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday. The Huskers, who slipped to 3-6 overall and 1-4 in the Big Ten, played without injured starting quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr., as Ryker Fyfe took the loss in his first career start despite throwing for 407 yards and four touchdowns. He also threw four interceptions and lost one fumble, and those five turnovers were converted into 28 points by the Boilermakers. The Huskers, who were also without the services of injured wide receiver Alonzo Moore, took an additional hit to the receiving corps with a first-half injury to De Mornay Pierson-El. The Big Red offense took another hit in the first half with the loss of starting running back Terrell Newby. Purdue capitalized on Nebraska s injuries and turnovers to give Coach Darrell Hazell his first home Big Ten Conference victory in three seasons. The Boilermakers improved to 2-6 on the year and 1-3 in the Big Ten. Despite the personnel challenges on offense and the turnovers, the Huskers outgained Purdue, in total yards on the day. The Big Red trailed entering the fourth quarter, but refused to quit. Behind 199 passing yards from Fyfe, who completed 10-of-14 passes in the final period, the Huskers rallied for 29 points in the fourth - the second-best point total in the quarter in school history, trailing only 30 points at Hawaii on Dec. 4, Wide receivers Brandon Reilly and Jordan Westerkamp had big days for the Big Red. Westerkamp hauled in nine receptions for 123 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown catch with 30 seconds left to make the final margin. Even after that score, Nebraska kept battling, recovering an on-side kick to regain another possession, before watching time run out.
