The Hawkeyes suffered a setback against division leader Wisconsin last Saturday in Iowa City, ending their chances of a berth in the Big Ten Championship Game.

The reception was one yard shy of his career long of 74 yards at Ohio State in The 73-yard reception by Bell from Tommy Armstrong Jr. marked Nebraska s longest play from scrimmage in 2014, bettering a 70-yard touchdown pass from Armstrong to Jordan Westerkamp at Fresno State on Sept. 13. Randy Gregory s blocked field goal was his second of the season and the fourth blocked kick by Nebraska in the past four games (2 FG, 2 punt). Gregory s 10-yard sack to end the first half was his team-leading seventh of 2014, and gives him 17.5 career sacks. Gregory finished the day with eight total tackles, including two solo stops.

Pelini has won or shared four divisional titles in his first six seasons as head coach, including the 2012 Big Ten Legends Division crown. He guided NU to three straight Big 12 North Division crowns from 2008 to 2010, becoming the first coach in the history of the Big 12 to win at least a share of a division title in each of his first three years. He has guided Nebraska to at least nine wins each of his six seasons, and three 10-win seasons. Pelini is third on the Nebraska career victories list, trailing only Tom Osborne and Bob Devaney. Pelini is one victory from reaching nine wins for a seventh straight season. A victory at Iowa would also give Pelini 66 wins in his first seven full seasons, one more than Tom Osborne s total. Pelini took charge of the Huskers after a highly successful five-year run as a collegiate defensive coordinator, including orchestrating NU s defensive efforts in Pelini picked up his first college head coaching victory as NU s interim coach in the 2003 Alamo Bowl against Michigan State. Following his one season at Nebraska, Pelini served as the co-defensive coordinator at Oklahoma in 2004, helping the Sooners to the Big 12 title and BCS title game. He then followed with three seasons as the defensive coordinator at LSU. In addition to his five seasons as an assistant at the collegiate level, Pelini coached in the NFL for nine seasons, serving three years each with the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. Pelini was a team captain and four-year letterman as a safety at Ohio State from 1987 to Pelini Stacks up Well with Peers In guiding Nebraska to a record, Pelini has put himself in impressive company. 4 Among schools currently in a power conference, Pelini is just the eighth head coach in college football history to win at least nine games in each of his first six seasons at that school. The group includes three Nebraska coaches (Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Pelini). Six coaches in that group have won nine games each of their first seven years. 4 When looking only at coaches in their first head coaching job at a major conference school, Pelini is one of only three to win nine games in each of his first six years, joining Osborne and Barry Switzer (Oklahoma). 4 Pelini was among a group of 18 FBS head coaches who were hired for their jobs beginning with the 2008 season. Pelini leads that group of 18 head coaches in victories over the past six-plus years with 65 wins. In fact, Pelini is one of only five coaches in the group of 18 still in the job he was hired for prior to the 2008 season. Pelini Continues Defensive Accomplishments at Nebraska At Nebraska, Pelini has continued his history of building championship defenses. In 2009, the Huskers led the nation in scoring defense and had the nation s best scoring defensive improvement (18.1 ppg). When combining statistics since the start of the 2009 season, NU ranks second in pass efficiency defense, third in passing defense, 17th in total defense and 21st in scoring defense. With Pelini s previous track record, the success of his Nebraska defenses is no surprise. 4Pelini led the 2003 Blackshirts to a school-record 47 takeaways, including a Big 12-record 32 interceptions, and finished second nationally in scoring defense, first in pass efficiency defense and 11th in total defense. 4Pelini guided LSU defenses to No. 3 national finishes in total defense each of his three seasons in Baton Rouge. 4In 159 games as a collegiate coach, Pelini s defenses have posted 10 shutouts, held the opposition to seven points or less 42 times and to 20 points or less 98 times. Husker Staff Has Only One Change for 2014 Season Pelini had just one change in his full-time coaching staff during the offseason. Charlton Warren joined the Huskers as secondary coach after spending the past nine seasons at Air Force, including the past two years as defensive coordinator. Warren worked directly with the defensive backs all nine years with the Falcons. He also earned a reputation as the Falcons top recruiter and coordinated Air Force s recruiting efforts from 2006 to Warren joined a defensive staff led by John Papuchis, who enters his third season as defensive coordinator and seventh year overall on the Husker staff. Ross Els in his fourth season as the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator, while defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski enters his third year at Nebraska. On offense, Tim Beck is in his fourth season as offensive coordinator and seventh season overall on Pelini s staff. Ron Brown (running backs) and Barney Cotton (offensive line/tight ends) have also been on staff for each of Pelini s seven seasons.

The Huskers began the second half of the year with a dominant second-half effort at Northwestern, keying NU s victory. After halftime, Northwestern managed just 28 total yards and three first downs. Nebraska came back with a solid efforts against Rutgers and Purdue. NU held the Scarlet Knights to just seven points before halftime. In the second quarter, Rutgers rushed for minus-2 yards and had just 25 yards of total offense. Purdue converted just 2-of-16 third downs and completed only 18-of-46 pass attempts. The defense took a step back at Wisconsin, allowing the Badgers 59 points and 627 total yards, and Minnesota followed with 281 rushing yards. The Huskers are allowing an average of yards per game, while opponents are scoring 24.0 points per contest. 4The Blackshirts have excelled against the pass, allowing opponents to complete just 47.3 percent of their passes, the best mark in the nation. Nebraska has held six of seven Big Ten opponents to less than 50 percent passing and is holding conference foes to a 44.0 completion percentage. 4Nebraska ranks second in the Big Ten and fourth nationally in pass efficiency defense. 4Nebraska is once again one of the nation s stingiest third-down defenses. Opponents have converted just 28.3 percent (45-159) of their third-down attempts against the NU defense, a rate that ranks third in the Big Ten and fifth nationally. In seven Big Ten games, opponents have converted just 27.7 percent of their third downs (26-94), the best by a Big Ten defense. No Passing Zone Nebraska s Blackshirt defense has been among the nation s best since Bo Pelini took over as head coach in Nowhere is that more evident than in the Huskers stingy pass defense. When combining defensive numbers since the start of the 2009 season, Nebraska ranks second nationally in pass efficiency defense, trailing only Alabama. When looking at passing yards allowed per game, the Huskers are third behind only Alabama and Florida. 4The 2014 Blackshirts have shown the same knack for making life difficult for opposing passers. Opposing quarterbacks have completed only 172-of-364 passes, for a 47.3 percent completion rate, the best mark in the nation. Opposing quarterbacks have thrown for 10 touchdowns, while being intercepted by the Blackshirts 11 times. In seven conference games, opposing passers are completing only 44.0 percent of their pass attempts. 4Nebraska led the league in opponent pass completion percentage in conference games last season. 4Nebraska led the nation in opponent pass completion percentage in 2012, and was first in the nation in pass efficiency defense in In addition to the success in passing defense, Nebraska ranks 21st in total defense over the past five-plus seasons and is 17th nationally in scoring defense. Gregory Among Nation s Most Disruptive Defenders Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory immediately showed he was one of the Big Ten s top newcomers in By season s end, Gregory reached another level and was one of the nation s top overall defenders. Gregory was a first-team All-Big Ten choice for his play and was also named the Nebraska Team Defensive MVP in his first season in the program. He is in line to contend for national honors in Gregory is one of 20 semifinalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award, and is one of 20 quarterfinalists for the Lott IMPACT Trophy. The 6-6, 245-pound Gregory was limited in the first three games. Gregory played a few snaps in the season opener before leaving for the day with a minor knee injury. Gregory had a procedure on the knee on Aug. 31, and missed the McNeese State game, before returning in a limited role at Fresno State. However, Gregory has returned in full force and is primed for a strong finish to Against Miami, Gregory had two sacks for 25 yards in losses, forced a fumble, had two hurries and made seven total tackles. His play earned him the Lott Trophy IMPACT Player-of-the-Week award. Gregory continued his dominance against Illinois, recording 2.5 sacks for 17 yards, with seven total tackles. He also added three quarterback hurries. Gregory made six tackles, including a tackle for loss, and had an interception and two hurries at Michigan State. Gregory continued to be disruptive at Northwestern with four tackles and a pair of breakups at the line of scrimmage. In the victory over Rutgers, Gregory notched a 12-yard sack, had two quarterback hurries and blocked a field goal. Gregory added his seventh sack of the season against Minnesota, and also blocked his second field goal of the year, resulting in a Nate Gerry return for a touchdown. The Big Ten leader in sacks a year ago, Gregory has a team-high 7.0 sacks for 67 yards, and ranks fourth in the Big Ten with 0.70 sacks per game. Gregory also has a team-high 16 quarterback hurries. 4With his 7.0 sacks this season, Gregory has 17.5 sacks in 23 career games played at Nebraska. Gregory is now ninth on the NU career sack list, and he is the only player on the list with less than three seasons of action. 4Gregory has at least one sack in 10 of the 15 Big Ten games he has played during his career. Gregory led the Big Ten with 10.5 sacks for 69 yards in losses in Gregory s 0.8 sacks per game ranked 15th nationally. Gregory was at his best in conference play, with nine of his sacks coming in Big Ten action. Gregory s nine sacks in conference play were 2.5 more than any other Big Ten defender. Gregory finished with a team-leading 19 TFL for 101 yards in losses and had a team-high 18 hurries. He added an interception return for a touchdown against South Dakota State. 4 Gregory s 10.5 sacks were the most ever for a NU newcomer, while his 9.0 sacks in league games were just one shy of the most ever by a Husker in a conference season.

Huskers Winning on Money Down Third down is often referred to as the Money Down. In 2014, Nebraska is cashing in on third downs. The Huskers rank among the Big Ten and national leaders in both converting third downs, and third-down defense. 4 Nebraska has converted 64-of-149 third-down attempts (43.0 percent) to rank fourth in the Big Ten. 4 On the defensive side, the Blackshirts are dominant, allowing opponents to convert only 45-of-159 third downs (28.3 percent). That figure ranks third in the Big Ten and fifth nationally. Nebraska ranked sixth nationally in third-down defense in Gerry Leading Ball-Hawking Secondary The Husker Blackshirts have been one of the nation s best defenses against the pass. In addition to ranking among the national leaders in opponent completion percentage, Nebraska s secondary has had its share of takeaways, particularly in league play. Nebraska has notched 11 interceptions on the season. Leading the way is sophomore safety Nate Gerry, who has a team-high four interceptions, all coming in Big Ten Conference play. In league games only, Gerry leads the conference in interceptions at 0.57 per game, and he ranks third overall in interceptions for the season. Gerry has also caused two fumbles and recovered another. He also reached the end zone against Minnesota, returning a blocked field goal 85 yards for a touchdown. The Huskers pass defense has been strong throughout the season, ranking among the nation s best pass efficiency units. Against Purdue, the Boilermakers completed only 18-of-46 passes, with the Huskers notching a pair of interceptions. Nebraska also broke up 11 passes in the game, including three by senior cornerback Josh Mitchell. The 11 PBU were the second-most by Nebraska under Bo Pelini. Mitchell s three PBU against Purdue increased his team-leading total to 11. He has 23 career breakups to rank eighth in NU history. Huskers Look to Continue Tradition as Kicker U. Nebraska has featured a new place-kicker for the second straight season. True freshman Drew Brown earned the starting job after a strong fall camp. Brown has been solid in his debut for the Huskers. Brown connected on a 44-yard field goal on his first career attempt against Florida Atlantic and is 11-of-16 on the season. He has also hit 51-of-51 PAT attempts. Last year, senior Pat Smith transferred from Western Illinois and proceeded to connect on 12-of-13 field goals. Smith s success in 2013 continued a recent tradition of Nebraska boasting remarkable success in the field goal department. 4 Since Alex Henery took over as the starting place-kicker in 2007, NU kickers have connected on 133-of-158 field-goal attempts (.842). 4 Nebraska kickers in the same seven-season stretch have missed just five field goals from inside 40 yards, connecting on 85-of-90 attempts in that range, a remarkable 94.4 percent accuracy rate. 4 Twelve of the 25 field goal misses since 2007 have come on attempts of 50 yards or longer. Special Teams Making a Difference for Huskers Nebraska made improved special teams a focus of its offseason work and the dividends have come this season. NU has continued its recent tradition of being one of the nation s top kicking teams, but that is not the only area of success. 4 Junior punter Sam Foltz averages 41.9 yards per punt to rank fifth in the Big Ten. Just as importantly, Foltz has become one of the Big Ten s most accurate punters. He has regularly flipped field position by downing 22 of his 51 punts inside the opponent s 20-yard line, including five at Northwestern. Foltz also has 15 punts of 50 yards or more, including a career-long 70-yard punt at Wisconsin. 4 Behind Foltz s leg, NU ranks fourth in the Big Ten in net punting at 38.9 yards per punt. Opponents have returned only 11 punts in 11 games against Nebraska. 4 Nowhere is Nebraska s special teams improvement more evident than in the punt return game. True freshman De Mornay Pierson-El is one of the nation s top punt return threats, including a pair of returns for touchdowns. Pierson-El had an 86-yard return at Fresno State, which was the longest ever by a freshman and the seventh-longest in school history. It is also the second-longest in the FBS ranks in Pierson-El earned Big Ten Special Teams Player-of-the-Week honors for his effort at Fresno State. His second punt return for a touchdown was a dramatic 62-yard TD return at Michigan State that kept Nebraska s comeback hopes alive. 4 Pierson-El ranks first in the Big Ten and fourth nationally in punt return average at 15.2 yards per return. He has seven punt returns of at least 20 yards this season. 4 Pierson-El has totaled a nation-leading 455 return yards, already a Nebraska freshman record and the fifth most by any player in school history. 4 Nebraska has a total of 462 punt return yards. Last season, NU totaled 70 punt return yards in 13 games. 4 With its strong punting and return game, Nebraska has held a starting field position advantage in nine of 11 games this season. NU s average starting field position on the season is 7.7 yards better than the opposition. 4 The Huskers have shined in the kick blocking department in the second half of the season. Nebraska blocked two punts in the first half against Purdue, marking the first time since 2003 that the Huskers had blocked two punts in a game. Nebraska has also blocked a pair of field goals, both by Randy Gregory. The first came against Rutgers, with the second last week against Minnesota, resulting in an 85-yard return for a touchdown by Nate Gerry. Game 12 at Iowa th Season of Nebraska Football

The group includes three offensive players in I-back Ameer Abdullah, receiver Kenny Bell and offensive guard Jake Cotton. The defense is represented by cornerback Josh Mitchell and safety Corey Cooper. The players come from five different states including Nebraska (Cotton), Alabama (Abdullah), Colorado (Bell), Illinois (Cooper) and California (Mitchell). Cooper and Cotton have already earned their undergraduate degrees, while Abdullah, Bell and Mitchell are all on track to graduate this December. As a group, the five captains have combined for 154 career starts. Bell s 47 career starts are the most in school history by a Nebraska offensive player. This marks the second consecutive season Nebraska has elected season-long captains after choosing game captains during Bo Pelini s first five seasons as head coach. Abdullah is just the eighth player in school history to be a two-time team captain, including five under Bo Pelini Cotton s selection marks the ninth straight year a Nebraska native has been a captain, including five Lincoln natives. The selection of two defensive backs as captains marks the first time NU has had two captains from the same position group since defensive linemen Zach Potter and Ty Steinkuhler in Nebraska last had a pair of defensive backs serve as captains in the same year in 1999, when Mike Brown and Ralph Brown were captains. Husker Senior Class Making the Grade Nebraska has a long history of academic success, and the 2014 team is carrying on that tradition. Nebraska leads the nation in academic All-Americans in football with 107 all-time first- or second-team selections. Nebraska also leads the way across all sports with 314 academic All-Americans. Nebraska has had 11 academic All-Americans in Bo Pelini s first six seasons as head coach, the second-most in the nation in that time period. 4 All 14 members of Nebraska s 2014 senior class have already graduated or are on track to earn their degree by the completion of the spring semester. 4Among the group, safety Corey Cooper earned his degree in May, while linebacker Zaire Anderson and offensive guard Jake Cotton graduated in August. The other 10 members of the class are on pace to graduate this December. Junior Kevin Williams was also among the August graduates. The 2014 senior class is reflective of the academic commitment of Pelini s previous senior classes. Among his first six senior classes, 122 of 132 players have earned their degrees. Nebraska was also one of only 13 Football Bowl Subdivision programs to earn Public Recognition for high achievement in the Academic Progress Rate (APR). The Huskers ranked in the top 10 percent nationally among FBS schools. NU was joined by Wisconsin and Northwestern of the Big Ten, along with incoming Big Ten member Rutgers.

Nebraska had a GSR rate of 81 percent which ranked fourth among the 14 Big Ten Conference schools, trailing only Northwestern, Penn State and Rutgers. The 2014 Husker football team has four seniors playing this fall as graduate students with the entire senior class on track to earn their degrees by next spring. The Graduation Success Rate is an NCAA measurement that, unlike the federally mandated graduation rates, includes transfer data in the calculation. The GSR scores are based on four classes of scholarship student-athletes who entered college in the fall of 2004 to the fall of They allow a six-year window in which the student-athletes can earn their degree. Although GSR scores include student-athletes who transferred to Nebraska, they do not count student-athletes who transferred to another school and were academically eligible at the time of their transfer. The football GSR score was part of an overall successful GSR report for Nebraska Athletics. Five Husker teams earned a perfect 100 percent GSR score including women s golf, women s basketball, volleyball, softball and women s tennis. In fact, the women s golf, women s basketball, volleyball and women s tennis programs have achieved a perfect GSR score each of the 10 years the rate has been computed by the NCAA. In addition to the five teams achieving a perfect score, the women s gymnastics, soccer and men s gymnastics programs each topped the 90 percent score, and 14 of Nebraska s programs achieved a GSR scores of 80 percent or better. Overall, Nebraska had an all student-athlete GSR score of 83 percent Husker Roster Represents All Parts of United States Nebraska s 2014 roster is again one of the most geographically diverse rosters in the country. The roster features players from 25 states as well as Canada. Only Army and Navy have more states represented on their 2014 rosters than Nebraska. Homestate Huskers dominate the roster with 70 players from Nebraska on the 2014 team. Texas provides Nebraska with its second-most players with 12 members of the 2014 team from the Lone Star state. Five other states have at least five players on the roster, including Illinois (7), Ohio (7), Florida (7), California (6) and Louisiana (6). Nebraska s recent recruiting classes are reflective of the Huskers national approach to recruiting. The 24-player recruiting class in 2014 represented 13 states, including four players from Louisiana and three each from Texas, Nebraska and Florida. In fact, over the past four years, Nebraska s recruiting classes have included players from 25 states, as well as Canada. 4 The Huskers have continued to make Texas recruiting a priority. Nebraska signed four players from Texas in February, marking the seventh straight year NU has had at least two players from the state. Pelini s first seven recruiting classes at Nebraska have included 37 signees from the Lone Star state. 4 Nebraska signed three players from the Florida prep ranks for the second straight year. Prior to 2013, Nebraska had never signed more than two high school players from Florida in a single recruiting class. In addition to the talented class of scholarship signees, Nebraska added 23 walk-on prospects to the program. The group of walk-ons included 20 in-state players and three out-of-state standouts. Nebraska has continued to make the walk-on program a major priority under Pelini s direction. The Husker program has added more than 130 walk-ons in seven seasons. Pelini had put 33 former walk-ons on scholarship during his first seven seasons in Lincoln.

(Oct. 4) --- No. 19 Nebraska almost put together the greatest fourth-quarter comeback in Husker history before falling in the final seconds at Spartan Stadium. Nebraska scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns after falling behind 27-3 and had the ball at the MSU 37 in the final minute with a chance to win. Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw a strike into the end zone that wide receiver Alonzo Moore nearly made an amazing catch that would have given the Huskers a lead with 35 seconds left. The next play, Michigan State s Trae Waynes intercepted Armstrong, ending NU s furious comeback. The Spartans led 27-3 heading into the fourth quarter, before the Huskers marched into MSU territory on their first drive of the final period. With Armstrong sidelined briefly, backup quarterback Ryker Fyfe finished off NU s first touchdown drive, as Ameer Abdullah scored on a two-yard plunge to pull the Huskers within Abdullah, who was held to just 45 yards rushing on 24 carries, scored again with 4:10 left on a one-yard smash and Drew Brown s extra point pulled NU within The Huskers forced a three-and-out, as Randy Gregory and Trevor Roach, who finished with 18 tackles including four tackles for loss, stuffed Jeremy Langford on 3rd-and-2 to force a punt. Spartan punter Mike Sadler s kick sailed 43 yards, but De Mornay Pierson-El fired off a 62-yard return for a touchdown to pull the Big Red within with 3:22 left. It was Pierson-El s second punt return for a touchdown this season. After Brown s onside kick attempt was fielded cleanly by the Spartans, the Huskers stopped MSU on a short field, and Gregory forced Langford out of bounds with 1:12 left to stop the clock. Michigan State chose to attempt a field goal, but Michael Geiger s kick hit the left upright, leaving the Huskers one final chance. Armstrong connected with Moore on a 43-yard pass down the right sideline to push the Huskers to the MSU 37. Michigan State took its final timeout before Armstrong nearly connected with Moore again in the end zone for what would have been the go-ahead touchdown. Despite being pursued relentlessly by the Spartans, Armstrong completed 24-of-48 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw a pair of interceptions. Wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp did the most damage for Armstrong and the Huskers, hauling in nine receptions for 158 yards. Bell added three catches for 31 yards in the first quarter before leaving the game after being tackled by three Spartan defenders on the NU sideline. Nebraska s passing game rallied the Big Red, as Armstrong and Fyfe amassed 282 yards through the air, to overcome a running game that was bottled up for just 47 yards on 37 attempts by the Spartans.

49 2014 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL Game 7 No. 19 Nebraska 38, Northwestern 17 SCORE BY QUARTERS FINAL Nebraska Northwestern Evanston, Ill. (Oct. 18) -- No. 19 Nebraska needed no last-minute touchdown or Hail Mary this time. Instead, the Huskers got a dominant second-half defensive effort and a career-high four touchdowns from Ameer Abdullah in a win. After being out-gained in the first half, the Huskers dominated the second half Abdullah was limited to 39 yards in the first half, but exploded for 107 yards and three scores on 14 totes after halftime. He finished with 146 yards on 23 carries for his 22nd career 100-yard game and became the first Husker with three 1,000-yard seasons. The Big Red closed the night with 234 rushing yards, including 55 yards on 10 carries by quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. He also completed 18-of-29 passes for 221 yards and caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from De Mornay Pierson-El on a reverse. Pierson-El provided several highlights for Nebraska on the night, catching three passes for 66 yards, including a 46-yarder to set up his touchdown pass to Armstrong. Trevor Roach helped lead a dominant Blackshirt defense in the second half by notching a team-high 10 tackles for the game, including a sack of Wildcat quarterback Trevor Siemian. The Huskers harassed Siemian all night, recording four sacks and forcing him to complete just 18-of-39 passes for 173 yards. Roach was far from the only Blackshirt to get their paws on Siemian on the night, as the Big Red s pressure overwhelmed the Wildcats in the second half. Kevin Williams led the Blackshirts second-half sack attack with 2.5 sacks to lead the Blackshirts. The Huskers trailed 7-0 after one quarter and at the half against a fired up Wildcat bunch. But the Big Red outgained Northwestern nearly 10-1 in the second half, and allowed one snap by Wildcats on the Husker half of the field. Nebraska took its first lead of the game midway through the third quarter when Abdullah hit paydirt on a one-yard plunge for the second time in the game to give the Big Red a lead. After Nebraska took the lead, the Blackshirts started to overwhelm the Wildcat offensive line. On Northwestern s final offensive play of the third quarter, Williams and Jack Gangwish sacked Siemian, with Gangwish forcing a fumble that was recovered by a Northwestern offensive lineman. The Huskers took the ball to the end of the third quarter and Armstrong found Alonzo Moore on an 18-yard pickup to keep the chains moving. Two plays later, Abdullah raced 50 yards to the Northwestern one-yard line, setting up his third touchdown of the evening. The Blackshirts continued to dominate, forcing a three-and-out after Williams gave the Huskers their third sack of Siemian on the night before NU put the game away with a scoring drive capped by Abdullah s 1-yard plunge.

Armstrong tossed his second TD of the day, a four-yard pass to Jordan Westerkamp to extend the lead to before Abdullah s final score of the day, a 23-yard scamper, accounted for the Huskers final points.

50 2014 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL Game 9 No. 17 Nebraska 35, Purdue 14 SCORE BY QUARTERS final Purdue No. 17 Nebraska Lincoln (Nov. 1)--- Nebraska s special teams and defense provided big plays and short fields in a win over Purdue at Memorial Stadium. In the contest, Purdue outgained Nebraska , but Nebraska s special teams blocked two punts which led directly to a pair of touchdowns. The Blackshirts held Purdue quarterback Austin Appleby to just 18-of-46 passing for 216 yards. The Husker defense made life tough for Appleby, recording two interceptions, 11 pass breakups, nine hurries and three sacks. Zaire Anderson led the Blackshirts with 11 tackles, including a TFL and a hurry, while Maliek Collins added five tackles, including a sack and three hurries, Josh Mitchell also chipped in four tackles, including a pair of sacks, and three pass breakups. Tommy Armstrong Jr. led a Nebraska rushing attack that managed 179 yards, largely without the services of All- American I-back Ameer Abdullah, who left the game midway through the first quarter with an injury. Armstrong rushed 13 times for 70 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He also completed 8-of-21 passes for 118 yards with a 17-yard touchdown pass to De Mornay Pierson-El on NU s second offensive play of the game. Imani Cross added 66 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, while Terrell Newby contributed 42 yards and a score. In a first half dominated by defense and special teams, Nebraska carried a 21-7 lead into the locker room at halftime. Kieron Williams got NU started quickly, as his blocked punt on the first possession of the game put the ball at the Purdue 17. Two plays later, Armstrong found Pierson-El for a scoring pass to give the Big Red a 7-0 lead just 1:35 into the game. The Blackshirts held Purdue to just one first down as Nebraska took a 7-0 lead to the second quarter. However, with the wind at their back, Purdue was able to string together some positive plays and turned a strange play into points to tie the score at seven with 11:48 left in the half. Nebraska appeared to end a Purdue push into Husker territory with a Byerson Cockrell interception. But after Cockrell s interception, he was hit and fumbled to give the Boilermakers the ball back at the NU 32. Three plays later, Appleby uncorked a 25-yard touchdown run. But Armstong and the Husker offense rose to the occasion with a pair of strong drives. NU answered Purdue s score with an eight-play, 65-yard march that included a 27-yard run by Armstrong to help set up a two-yard Cross touchdown blast with 8:09 left in the half. After another Blackshirt stop, Brandon Reilly gave the NU special teams its second blocked punt of the day to set the Huskers up at their own 49. The Big Red capitalized, as Armstrong capped a six-play, 51-yard drive with his 29-yard touchdown run to convert 4th-and-4 and give the Huskers a 21-7 lead with 3:35 left in the half. Nebraska continued to dominate the third quarter, extending its margin to 28-7 with Cross second short touchdown run of the day to cap a 10-play, 45-yard drive with 4:19 left. Although Purdue was turned away on its first play of the quarter, the Boilermakers cut NU s margin to 14 with 10:18 left when Appleby connected with Cameron Posey on a 23-yard touchdown pass. Nebraska added a seven-yard Newby touchdown run with two minutes left after the Blackshirts held on 4th-and-21 at the NU 7 to give the offense another short field.

The Huskers regained the lead on Armstrong s 18-yard touchdown pass to Pierson-El with 10:57 left in the half to put the Big Red back up, Minnesota threatened to answer before the Blackshirts stiffened to force a 30-yard field goal attempt by Ryan Santoso. The Huskers then came up with a huge special teams play, as defensive end Randy Gregory blocked Santoso s kick, which was scooped up by safety Nate Gerry, who raced 85 yards to give the Huskers a 21-7 lead. Gerry added 11 tackles and a pair of pass breakups on the day from his safety spot, while Gregory added eight stops including a sack of Leidner to end the half.
