Pelini added a Big Ten Legends Division title in 2012 to three straight Big 12 North Division crowns from 2008 to 2010, when Pelini was the 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 first five seasons in Lincoln, and three 10-win seasons. With the win over Wyoming in the opener, Pelini reached 50 career wins at Nebraska, making him just the fifth Husker coach to reach that milestone, joining Tom Osborne, Bob Devaney, Frank Solich and Dana X. Bible. 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. With the Tigers, Pelini led three consecutive defenses to No. 3 national rankings in total defense. He culminated his time in Baton Rouge by helping the Tigers to the 2007 national championship. 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 some impressive company.» Among schools currently in a BCS-AQ conference, Pelini was just the 11th head coach in college football history to win at least nine games in each of his first five seasons on the job at that school. The group includes three Nebraska coaches (Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Pelini).» When looking only at coaches in their first head coaching job at a BCS school, Pelini is one of only four to win nine games in each of their first five years, joining Osborne, Barry Switzer (Oklahoma) and Larry Coker (Miami).» 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 five-plus years with 52 wins. In fact, Pelini is one of only six coaches in the group of 18 still in the job they were 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 from the past four-plus seasons, NU ranks third in pass efficiency defense, fourth in passing defense, 15th in scoring defense and 19th in total 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 140 games as a collegiate coach, Pelini s defenses have posted 10 shutouts, held the opposition to seven points or less 40 times and to 20 points or less 89 times. Husker Staff Returns Intact for 2013 Season Nebraska s coaching staff has a familiar look in 2013, as all nine assistants returned to Coach Bo Pelini s staff. Nebraska s staff is one of 18 coaching staffs in the country to return intact this season. Tim Beck is in his third season as offensive coordinator in 2013, after guiding Nebraska s offense to a top-10 national rushing effort last season. Seventh-year Nebraska assistant Barney Cotton adds the role of run game coordinator and will tutor the Nebraska tight ends this fall, in addition to his role with the offensive line. Ron Brown (running backs), Rich Fisher (wide receivers) and John Garrison (offensive line) also return to the offensive staff.

Cross has 13 rushing touchdowns on 100 career carries, a touchdown every 7.7 carries for his career. 4The four players reaching at least 75 yards rushing vs. Wyoming marked the first time NU has reached that group milestone since four Huskers topped the century mark on the ground at Baylor in This year s rushing surge continues Nebraska s success on the ground. A year ago, NU averaged rushing yards per game to lead the Big Ten and rank eighth nationally in rushing offense. The rushing average per game was the best by NU since the Huskers ran for yards per game in Nebraska has averaged better than 200 rushing yards per game for three straight seasons and ranked in the top 15 nationally in that category each year from 2010 to In 2010, Nebraska ranked first in the Big 12 and ninth nationally, and in 2011 NU rushed for yards per game, good for third in the Big Ten and 15th nationally. 4 Nebraska returned a pair of 1,000-yard rushers for 2013 in Abdullah (1,137 yards) and quarterback Taylor Martinez (1,019 yards). The 2013 season marked the first time in school history Nebraska returned a pair of players who have rushed for 1,000 yards in a season. 4 Nebraska was one of only two schools in the country with two players who topped 1,000 rushing yards last season returning this fall (Kent State). 4 Nebraska has had a 1,000-yard rusher each of the past four seasons. That is the longest stretch for Nebraska since the Huskers had at least one 1,000-yard rusher from 1991 to Through the first five games of 2013, Abdullah is well on pace to reach that total again this fall. 4 Nebraska posted a total of 15 individual 100-yard rushing games last season, and four games with a pair of 100-yard rushers. With Abdullah and Cross both surpassing 100 yards in the season opener, Nebraska now has 74 all-time games with two 100-yard rushers. 4 Four different Huskers topped 100 yards in a game last season. Nebraska was one of only five schools to have four or more players reach the century mark. 4 The Huskers were one of only four teams in the country with at least four players who averaged at least 5.0 yards per carry and had at least 50 carries. Nebraska had five players reach those milestones in The trio of Martinez, Abdullah and junior wide receiver Kenny Bell put Nebraska in some rare air in college football heading into the 2013 season. 4 Nebraska was one of only three schools to return a 5,000-yard career passer, a 1,000-yard career receiver and two 1,000-yard career rushers for the 2013 season. 4 Nebraska was one of only four teams with a 5,000-yard career passer, a 1,000-yard career receiver and a 2,000- yard career rusher returning for Huskers Striving for Balanced Attack Again in 2013 While leading the Big Ten in rushing in 2012, Nebraska also averaged better than 200 yards passing per game. The Huskers were one of only 19 schools in the country to average better than 200 yards per game in both rushing and passing in 2012, and the only Big Ten school in the club last season. Nebraska is back in the same club this season, averaging rushing yards per game and yards passing through five games. Nebraska is one of 31 teams in the country averaging 200 yards rushing and passing, and one of five schools in the Big Ten, joining Iowa, Northwestern, Ohio State and Wisconsin. While the running game has been Nebraska s strength early in the season, NU s passing game has been very efficient. The Huskers have thrown just one interception to tie for second in the country in fewest interceptions. The Huskers also lead the nation in protecting the passer, allowing just two sacks in five games (0.40 pg). Abdullah Looking for Back-to-Back 1,000-Yard Seasons Junior I-back Ameer Abdullah became one of the Big Ten s top running backs in 2012, as he broke out with a 1,000-yard rushing season. Abdullah carried a heavy load in the rushing game, teaming with quarterback Taylor Martinez to give Nebraska a pair of 1,000-yard rushers, and is once again on track for an outstanding season in Abdullah opened 2013 with a pair of 100-yard rushing games, rushing for 114 yards against both Wyoming and Southern Miss, including a career-long 62-yard run against Wyoming. He churned out a hard-fought 98 yards against UCLA, before rushing for 139 yards on 15 carries against South Dakota State.

Abdullah rushed 20 times for a career-high 225 yards and two touchdowns. He had three runs of better than 30 yards in the game, including a highlight-reel 43-yard TD run in the third quarter. His 225 yards were the most by a Husker since Roy Helu Jr. ran for a school-record 307 yards against Missouri in For his performance, Abdullah was named Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week. It was the first time Abdullah had earned the offensive player-of-the-week honors, but his fourth Big Ten weekly honor. He previously earned the Special Teams Player of the Week twice, and was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week once in Game 6 vs. Purdue Nebraska Football

Martinez Hopeful of Return vs. Purdue Nebraska senior quarterback Taylor Martinez has missed the past two games with a turf toe injury. He remains day-to-day as Nebraska prepares for its road opener this week at Purdue. When Martinez was not in the starting lineup for Nebraska s game against South Dakota State on Sept. 21 it ended a streak of 32 consecutive starts for the Husker signal caller. Martinez has been one of the most durable players in Nebraska history, with the SDSU game just the third game he did not start at quarterback since the beginning of the 2010 season. Earlier this season, Martinez became the first quarterback in school history to start four consecutive season openers against Wyoming. Only Tommie Frazier ( ) and Steve Taylor ( ) had previously started three season openers at quarterback in NU school history. Martinez was one of just seven quarterbacks in the FBS ranks who started their fourth consecutive season opener in 2013, and he is the only player in the group to post a 4-0 record in those games. Martinez has now made 42 career starts, the most ever for an NU quarterback.

Martinez Stats Stack up Well on NCAA All-Time Charts Martinez not only has impressive statistics on the school s all-time lists, but he also compares favorably with a number of quarterbacks nationally. Combining the 2011 and 2012 seasons, Martinez threw for 4,960 yards, while rushing for 1,893 yards, good for a combined 6,853 yards of total offense.

Martinez had the most total yards among that group of five quarterbacks. In 2011 and 2012, Martinez s 6,853 yards of total offense ranked 10th nationally, while his rushing total ranked fifth among quarterbacks. He was one of only six quarterbacks in the FBS ranks to post a 2,000-yard passing/1,000-yard rushing season in either 2011 or Martinez was joined on that list by Denard Robinson (Michigan), Braxton Miller (Ohio State), Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M), Chandler Harnish (Northern Illinois) and Jordan Lynch (Northern Illinois). 4 Martinez is in position to record 9,000 career passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards, needing 1,881 passing yards and 41 rushing yards to reach those figures. If he would accomplish that feat he would join Colin Kaepernick as the only players in FBS history to reach the 9,000/3,000 career mark. 4Martinez s 2,959 yards rushing are the third-most of any active FBS player who has played their entire career in the FBS ranks.

Season-Opening Win Streak Continues Nebraska extended a remarkable streak of success in season openers with a win over Wyoming. The win was Nebraska s 28th straight win in a season opener, dating back to a 1985 loss to Florida State. The streak leads the nation, bettering Florida s 24 straight season-opening wins. Nebraska has scored at least 37 points in each of its six season openers under Coach Bo Pelini, and has scored 40 or more points in 20 of the past 28 seasons. During the win streak, NU has limited opponents to 14 points or less 18 times. 4 Martinez is just the 12th player in FBS history to pass for 6,000 yards and rush for 2,500 yards in a career. He was one of only four players to reach that milestone before the end of their junior year, joining Kaepernick, Vince Young (Texas) and Brad Smith (Missouri). He is 41 rushing yards from becoming the fifth player in FBS history with 7,000 career passing yards and 3,000 career rushing yards. He would join Kaepernick, Smith, Josh Cribbs (Akron) and Antwaan Randle El (Indiana) in that category. 4 Martinez needs two non-passing touchdowns to reach 200 career points scored. Martinez has scored 31 rushing touchdowns in his career - good for 186 points - while adding one two-point conversion to total 188 career points. With 12 more points scored, Martinez will become only the seventh player in NCAA FBS history to score 200 points and pass for 300 points. He would be the only Husker and only player in Big Ten history to reach that milestone. 4Martinez is also looking to become only the ninth player in NCAA history to rush for 40 TDs and pass for 40 TDs. He needs nine rushing touchdowns to reach that milestone. Bell Reaches Century Mark in Receptions; Continues Climb on NU Charts Nebraska returned arguably the finest trio of receivers in school history, led by junior Kenny Bell, who is in position to threaten several NU school records. Bell is joined by fellow junior Jamal Turner and senior Quincy Enunwa to give Nebraska one of the nation s top groups of receivers. Bell has grabbed a team-high 22 catches for 255 yards and three touchdowns in He caught seven passes for 57 yards in the opener vs. Wyoming, with the seven catches the second-highest total of his NU career. He added three catches, including a 21-yard touchdown grab against Southern Miss, then followed with six receptions for 68 yards, including a 22-yard TD grab against UCLA. Bell had a quiet day against South Dakota State with two catches, but his two receptions pushed his career receptions total to 100, making him the seventh Husker player with 100 career receptions. He had four catches for 65 yards against Illinois, including a spectacular 37-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. Bell s 65 yards receiving against Illinois moved him into the top five on the Husker career receiving yardage list. He is now less than 200 yards from moving into third place on the NU career receiving yardage list and remains on pace to threaten the career record. Bell has 104 career receptions to rank sixth in school history, and is just five catches from moving into the top five on the NU career receptions list. He is well on his way to threatening the Nebraska career receptions record of 166 by Nate Swift from 2005 to With three touchdown catches this season, Bell has pushed his career TD reception total to 14, good for a tie for fifth on the NU career TD reception list. He is just two touchdown catches from moving into a tie for third on the career chart. Bell has a knack for the big play. Each of his last 12 touchdown receptions have covered at least 20 yards, including all three of his TD catches in Bell was a second-team All-Big Ten selection as a sophomore, when he led Nebraska with 50 receptions for 863 yards and eight touchdowns. The 50 receptions marked just the seventh time in school history a Husker player had reached 50 catches, and the 863 receiving yards were the fourth-highest single-season total in NU history. The receiving yardage was the most ever by an NU sophomore, shattering the previous mark of 665 yards by Johnny Rodgers in Bell s 50 receptions in 2012 ranked seventh on the NU single-season list. 4 Bell had career highs of nine receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns against Minnesota last season. His 136 receiving yards were the most by a Husker in three seasons and bettered his career high of 133 yards at Ohio State. 4 Bell s 17.3 yards per catch in 2012 ranked second in the Big Ten and eighth nationally among players in the top 100 in receiving yards per game. His average was the 10th-best in Husker history among players with at least 30 catches in a season. 4Bell had 16 receptions in 2012 that covered at least 20 yards, with all eight of his touchdown catches coming from 25 yards or more. Bell had a career-long 74-yard reception at Ohio State on Oct. 6. 4Bell had a streak of 23 straight games with a catch end at Iowa in The 23-game streak was the third-longest in NU history. 4 Bell reached the 1,000-yard career receiving mark in just his 20th career game, making him the second-fastest Husker to reach that plateau.

The 59 points were the second-most of the Pelini era, trailing a 73-point outburst against Idaho State in The Huskers 34 first downs against South Dakota State were the most in the past six seasons under Pelini, and NU s most since posting 35 first downs against Kansas State in Enunwa Producing Monster Senior Season Nebraska s passing game features several other options beyond Bell, led by senior receiver Quincy Enunwa. The 6-2, 225-pound Enunwa has turned into the favorite red zone target for Nebraska s quarterbacks in Enunwa has caught six touchdowns, including a pair of touchdowns against both Southern Miss and UCLA. Enunwa leads the Big Ten and is tied for eighth in the country in touchdown receptions. Enunwa entered the 2013 season with three career touchdowns, but has more than doubled that total this season. If Enunwa were to add a third multiple-td catch game in 2013, he would be the first Husker with three games with two or more TD catches in a season since Irving Fryar in Enunwa is one touchdown catch from cracking the top 10 on the NU single-season touchdown receptions list. Overall, Enunwa has 21 receptions for a team-high 282 yards this fall. He tied his career high with six receptions for 78 yards against South Dakota State, then posted a season-high 80 receiving yards on four catches against Illinois. 4 Enunwa continues to move up the Nebraska career receptions list. With his four catches against Illinois, Enunwa increased his career total to 85 receptions, and moved into 10th place on the Husker career chart. 4 Enunwa also eclipsed the 1,000-yard career receiving yardage mark against Illinois, becoming the 22nd Nebraska player to accomplish that feat. Enunwa now has 1,055 career receiving yards and is poised to continue to quickly move up that list, needing less than 200 receiving yards to move into the top 10. 4Enunwa has caught at least one pass in each of the past 19 games. A catch on Saturday at Purdue would tie Enunwa for the fourth-longest streak of consecutive games with a pass reception. Last season, Enunwa caught 42 passes to rank just outside of the single-season top 10 on the NU charts. With both Bell and Enunwa topping the 40-catch barrier last season, Nebraska had a pair of players with at least 40 receptions for just the fifth time in school history. Junior Jamal Turner adds a third reliable veteran receiver in the Husker offense. He opened the season with four catches for 43 yards against Wyoming, including a 17-yard touchdown grab. Turner has four TD receptions in his past 11 games, after not having a touchdown catch in the first 20 games of his NU career. On the season, Turner has caught 11 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown and now has 58 career receptions. In 2013, the trio of Bell, Enunwa and Turner has combined for 54 catches for 620 yards and 10 touchdowns. A year ago, the group accumulated 124 receptions for 1,750 yards and 12 touchdowns. 4 Turner was one of Nebraska s stars in the second half of 2012, as the 6-1, 185-pounder made the most of his first two career TD receptions. He caught a five-yard touchdown pass with six seconds left to provide the gamewinning score at Michigan State and added a five-yard fourth-quarter grab for a score against Penn State to put the Huskers ahead for the first time. Turner finished with 32 catches for 417 yards in 2012, with 18 of his catches in the final six games. Long Leads Veteran Husker Offensive Line Offensive guard Spencer Long is the anchor of an experienced 2013 line that features five seniors who have seen extensive action throughout their Husker careers. The 6-4, 315-pound Long has started every game at right guard since the start of the 2011 season and has been a key force in one of the nation s top offenses. The offensive line is paving the way for an offense that ranks in the top 20 nationally in scoring offense, total offense and rushing offense. Last season, Nebraska led the Big Ten and ranked eighth nationally in rushing offense at yards per game. The Huskers also topped the Big Ten in total offense averaging yards per game. Long s play was recognized in The former walk-on earned first-team All-Big Ten honors from both the league media and coaches, and was a second-team All-America pick by the Associated Press and the Walter Camp Foundation. Long became the first NU offensive lineman since 2001 to be named a first- or second-team All-American. He is the first returning All-American on the offensive line since This fall, Long is a candidate for first-team All-America honors as well as a leading contender for the Outland Trophy. Nebraska boasts a nation-leading nine Outland Trophy winners, including six by offensive linemen. Long s honors will likely go beyond the field. He has been an Academic All-District VII selection each of the past two years and is a strong candidate for first-team academic All-America honors this year. He is also a nominee for a National Football Foundation/College Hall of Fame post-graduate scholarship. The veteran line also features returning senior starters in tackles Brent Qvale and Jeremiah Sirles. Sirles has started 33 games in his Nebraska career, including all 14 games at right tackle in 2012, and each of the first five games in Qvale earned 13 starts at left tackle last season and has played in 45 games in his career. They are joined on the line by fellow seniors Cole Pensick and Andrew Rodriguez, who both had starting experience prior to this season. Pensick split time between guard and center in 2012, before starting the final two games at center, and each of the first five games this season. Rodriguez was the top reserve at tackle last season and has 13 career starts, including every game this season. 4 In addition to plowing the way for a dominant rushing attack, the offensive line has also done an outstanding job of protecting all three Nebraska quarterbacks. Nebraska has allowed only two sacks in five games (0.40 pg) and leads the nation in that category. Nebraska has also thrown just one interception this season.

However, both players are newcomers to the program and have made an impact in their first season. Defensive end Randy Gregory (Fishers, Ind.) is starting at defensive end in his first season in the program and leads the team in tackles for loss and quarterback hurries. True freshman long snapper Gabe Miller (Mishawaka, Ind.) has stepped right into the snapping role in his first season in Lincoln. Offense Continues to Hum Along Without Martinez Quarterback Taylor Martinez has missed the past two Nebraska victories with a turf toe injury, but the Husker offense has not missed a beat without the senior signal caller. Redshirt freshman Tommy Armstrong Jr. has started both games in place of Martinez, while senior Ron Kellogg III has also seen extensive action in wins over South Dakota State and Illinois. Armstrong has guided Nebraska on 16 drives this season, with 11 of those drives ending in touchdowns and another one resulting in a field goal. 4Armstrong directed one drive in a reserve role against Southern Miss that ended in a touchdown. Against South Dakota State, he engineered five drives with four ending in touchdowns, and one ending with a fumble. In the Big Ten opener against Illinois, Armstrong led 10 NU drives with five ending in touchdowns and another one in a field goal. 4In the past two games, Armstrong is 6-of-6 passing on third downs, with those completions resulting in 120 yards. All six completions have gone for first downs, including two touchdowns. 4Under the direction of Armstrong and Kellogg, Nebraska did not punt in the first half against either South Dakota State or Illinois. 4Nebraska rushed for 335 yards against both South Dakota State and Illinois and averaged yards and 49.0 points in the two victories. Blackshirts Showing Play-Making Ability in 2013 Nebraska s defense posted one of its most explosive defensive games in the past couple seasons in a victory over Southern Miss on Sept. 7. That game sparked a defense that has shown the ability to take the ball away from the opposition and also make plays in the opposition s backfield. 4Nebraska has posted 10 interceptions and 12 total takeaways in the season s first five games. Last year, Nebraska had 13 interceptions and 23 total takeaways in 14 games. 4Nebraska has turned its 12 takeaways this season into 62 points. 4The Huskers 10 interceptions rank second in the Big Ten and sixth nationally. The Southern Miss game marked the most impressive defensive outing of the season, sparked by a Stanley Jean- Baptiste interception and 43-yard return for a touchdown on the game s third play. 4Jean-Baptiste s interception was the first of four Nebraska INTs vs. Southern Miss. The four interceptions were the most since a 2010 victory over Idaho when the Huskers had five picks. 4Nebraska s four takeaways against Southern Miss marked the first time NU has had four takeaways since forcing six turnovers against Idaho in that 2010 game, a span of 41 games. 4Nebraska returned two of its four interceptions for touchdowns against Southern Miss, marking the first two-td game for the Blackshirts since Jean-Baptiste had an interception in each of Nebraska s four games this season. His streak of four straight games with an interception tied the NU school record. He was the first player to accomplish that feat since All-American safety Josh Bullocks intercepted a pass in four straight games in Jean-Baptiste has 134 interception return yards, the most by a Husker since Daniel Bullocks had a school-record 187 interception return yards in Cornerback Ciante Evans had two interceptions against the Golden Eagles. The last time a Husker had picked off two or more opponent passes occurred in 2009 when safety Matt O Hanlon had three interceptions against Oklahoma. 4With four interceptions, Jean-Baptiste is tied for second nationally in interceptions. Evans has three interceptions to rank in a tie for third in the Big Ten, and a tie for 13th nationally. Last season, Daimion Stafford led Nebraska with four interceptions, while the team leader in 2011 had just two picks. 4Nebraska has an interception for every 16.6 pass attempts it has faced in 2013, an average that leads the Big Ten. 4Nebraska is a +5 in turnover margin this season, and its +1.0 per game average is tied for first in the Big Ten and 18th nationally. Nebraska has been even or positive in the turnover margin each game in The Huskers are 2-0 this season when forcing three or more turnovers, and 17-2 under Pelini when the defense has at least three takeaways. 4Nebraska s streak of five straight games having an even or positive turnover margin is the longest streak for Nebraska since a five-game streak during Big Ten play in Nebraska had a streak of 10 straight games with a positive or even turnover margin spanning the final seven games of 2009 and the first three contests of The pass defense success is nothing new for Nebraska. When combining stats since the start of the 2009 season, Nebraska ranks third nationally in pass efficiency defense and fourth in passing yards allowed per game. Nebraska has also been much improved in making plays in the opponent backfield. Nebraska has had at least three sacks in each of the last three games, totaling 11 quarterback sacks in those three games. Nebraska s five sacks against South Dakota State were its most since posting seven vs. Idaho State in Against Southern Miss, Nebraska recorded nine tackles for loss as a team. That total was Nebraska s best since recording 12 TFL last season against Idaho State. The Huskers added nine tackles for loss against UCLA, six against South Dakota State and a season-high 10 tackles for loss against Illinois. Over the past four games, Nebraska has a total of 34 tackles for loss. Game 6 vs. Purdue Nebraska Football

Leading the Huskers as captains are senior quarterback Taylor Martinez, senior wide receiver Quincy Enunwa, senior offensive guard Spencer Long and senior cornerback Ciante Evans. In each of the previous five seasons under Pelini, Nebraska has named captains on a game-by-game basis throughout the regular season, before electing season captains at the end of the year. The four 2013 captains bring a great deal of experience to the Huskers. As a group, the four players have played in a total of 157 games with a combined 125 starts. Player GP Starts Taylor Martinez Quincy Enunwa Ciante Evans Spencer Long Totals Martinez also holds the distinction of being one of just seven multi-year captains in school history. Four of those have come under Bo Pelini, including Martinez, Rex Burkhead, Brett Maher and Alex Henery. Prior to Henery in 2009 and 2010, the most recent two-time captain was Ed Weir in , while the first two-time captains were James H. Johnson in and John Westover in Husker Youth Make Big Impact Against SDSU, Early in Season Nebraska s freshmen have been a big part of the early-season success for Nebraska, most notably in the Huskers rout of South Dakota State on Sept. 21. A total of 24 true or redshirt freshmen saw the field against the Jackrabbits including offensive starters Cethan Carter (TE) and Tommy Armstrong Jr. (QB) and defensive starters Vincent Valentine (DT), Nathan Gerry (LB) and Josh Banderas (LB). The SDSU game is believed to be the first time in modern school history that NU has started five freshmen in the same game. Offensively, freshmen accounted for more than half of Nebraska s total plays against South Dakota State. Husker freshmen combined for 39 offensive touches and 297 total yards against the Jackrabbits, averaging 7.6 yards per touch. On the ground, the freshmen combined for 23 carries, 128 yards and two touchdowns. Through the air, Armstrong completed 12-of-15 passes for 169 yards and one touchdown, while Ryker Fyfe completed a five-yard pass in his only attempt of the game. Freshmen also accounted for five pass receptions. Defensively, the freshmen combined for 15 tackles, a half sack and one tackle for loss against South Dakota State. Freshmen also are making big contributions on special teams with redshirt freshman Sam Foltz serving as Nebraska s punter, while Jordan Westerkamp is NU s top punt returner. Overall, the Huskers have played seven true freshmen this fall, the most in Bo Pelini s six seasons as head coach. The group includes, Carter, Banderas, Gerry, I-back Terrell Newby, defensive tackle Kevin Maurice, defensive tackle Maliek Collins and long snapper Gabriel Miller. 4Against Southern Miss, UCLA and South Dakota State, Banderas and Gerry were both on the field as starters on defense. They marked the first true freshmen defenders to start since Ciante Evans started at Iowa State in It also marked the first time Nebraska started two true freshmen in a game since NU had two freshmen starters against Kansas State in Nebraska also started two redshirt freshmen (Afalava, M. Rose) against Illinois. The past four games marked the first time Nebraska had started two true freshmen on defense since Erwin Swiney and Joe Walker started against Texas Tech in Nebraska had three true freshmen in the starting lineup against UCLA and South Dakota State as Carter joined Gerry and Banderas in the starting lineup. 4Banderas and Gerry are representative of the youth movement in the front seven of Nebraska s defense. The Huskers feature 12 sophomores, redshirt freshmen or true freshmen in the two-deep of its front seven on defense. 4Nebraska is much more experienced on offense, but Newby and Carter have quickly emerged as play-makers as true freshmen. Newby has 40 carries for 229 yards and two touchdowns, while Carter has been in the regular rotation at tight end and has three receptions for 55 yards. Seven Huskers Placed on Scholarship for 2013 Season Nebraska Head Coach Bo Pelini announced on Aug. 24 that seven Husker players who originally joined the program as walk-ons would be on scholarship for the 2013 season. The group includes three 2013 seniors who were on scholarship during the spring semester and will remain on scholarship for their final season as Huskers. That trio includes quarterback Ron Kellogg III, tight end Jake Long and safety Wil Richards. Kellogg III served as Nebraska s No. 2 quarterback last season and is handling that role again this fall. Long was part of Nebraska s regular rotation at tight end the past two seasons and is the starter at the position in Jake Long joins his twin brother, Spencer, as walk-ons who have gone on to earn a scholarship, as Spencer Long received the honor last fall. Richards has been a key member of the Nebraska special teams the past two years. Four additional Huskers have been placed on scholarship for the first time including senior defensive tackle Brodrick Nickens, senior linebacker Colby Starkebaum, junior center Mark Pelini and sophomore fullback Andy Janovich. Nickens made the move from offensive line to defensive tackle in the spring, and add depth there this fall. Starkebaum is a second-generation Husker, following in the footsteps of his father, John, who lettered for NU from The younger Starkebaum has been a reserve linebacker and key scout team performer throughout his career, and is seeing action on special teams this fall.

Memorial stadium Construction Complete for 2013 Season Fans coming to Memorial Stadium this fall are greeted by a new look to the East side of Memorial Stadium. The East Stadium expansion will push Nebraska s average attendance beyond 90,000. While adding nearly 6,000 seats, including a combination of club seats, suites and general public seating, the addition preserves the rich tradition and original architecture of Memorial Stadium. The East Stadium addition also includes dedicated restrooms and concessions areas. A new grand lobby, expanded concourse and additional first-aid areas also were added. No East Stadium seats were removed during the expansion and no season ticket holders were required to relocate their seats as part of this project. The addition includes dedicated areas on the ground floor for research, both for Athletics and UNL Research. The 50,000-square foot research area is a unique collaboration between Athletics and Academics. The Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab is housed on the north end of the facility, and is operated by the Athletic Department. The Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior is housed in the south half of the facility. Along with the additions on the East Stadium, Nebraska also replaced the FieldTurf at Memorial Stadium this summer. The field features the Tom Osborne Field lettering for the first time since the 1998 season. Nebraska Unveils Statue of Bob Devaney in East Stadium The University of Nebraska unveiled a statue of Hall-of-Fame Football Coach and former Husker Athletic Director Bob Devaney the day before the 2013 season opener. The statue was installed in the new East Stadium Plaza which serves as the doorstep to a 52,000 square-foot research facility, 38 new suites, 6,000 new seats and a graphic-rich tribute to Nebraska football tradition inside the historic Gate 20 entrance. The life-sized bronze statue of Devaney, sculpted by Omaha artist Joe Putjenter, was unveiled in a ceremony attended by Mike Devaney and Rob Devaney, Bob s respective son and grandson, Nebraska Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst, Tom Osborne, Nebraska s former head coach and athletic director, and UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman. Nebraska had only three winning teams in the 21 seasons before Devaney arrived. Devaney s teams won backto-back national championships in 1970 and 71 and captured eight conference championships in his 11 years as head coach. His overall record in 11 years at Nebraska included a 32-game unbeaten streak. His career head coaching record at both schools was for winning percentage of.806. While he was head coach at Nebraska, Memorial Stadium attendance more than doubled to 72,700. Devaney and Osborne became the third coaching duo to post back-to-back 100-win careers at the same institutions, but the first pair to accomplish that feat in just 22 years. Devaney served as Nebraska s Athletic Director for 26 years from 1967 to NCAA Record Sellout Streak Continues in 2013 One of the most remarkable streaks in collegiate sports passed its 50th anniversary last fall, and continues into the 2013 season. Nebraska has sold out every game at Memorial Stadium since Nov. 3, 1962, and the streak hit 330 games against Illinois. With three additional home games in 2013, the streak is likely to reach 333 by season s end. NU celebrated the 300th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 26, 2009, against Louisiana-Lafayette, with a then-stadium record crowd of 86,304. Notre Dame is second in all-time consecutive sellouts with 236, 94 fewer than the Huskers. Nebraska established a new stadium record for attendance against UCLA on Sept. 14 with a crowd of 91,471. The crowd ranks as the eighth-largest to see any Nebraska game. Game 6 vs. Purdue Nebraska Football

Frazier will become the 16th NU player in the College Football Hall of Fame, along with six former Cornhusker coaches. Frazier earned induction into the College Hall of Fame in his third year on the ballot. He is the third Husker in the past five years to be named to the Hall, joining 2009 inductee Grant Wistrom and 2011 honoree Will Shields.

44 2013 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL Game 1 No. 18 Nebraska 37, Wyoming 34 SCORE BY QUARTERS FINAL Wyoming Nebraska Lincoln (Aug. 31) --- No. 18 Nebraska rushed for 375 yards and amassed 530 total yards on its way to a victory over Wyoming for the Huskers 28th consecutive season-opening win. Playing in front of a school-record 91,185 fans at Memorial Stadium, Nebraska rolled up 375 yards on 63 rushes, including 114 yards from junior I-back Ameer Abdullah and 105 yards and a pair of touchdowns for sophomore I-back Imani Cross. Senior quarterback Taylor Martinez also completed 17-of-22 passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair of scoring strikes to Quincy Enunwa. Despite the impressive offensive totals for the Huskers, a pair of late NU turnovers allowed the visiting Cowboys to put a scare into the Big Red. NU led with the ball on the Wyoming 25 with just under seven minutes left in the game, but a Martinez pass was intercepted by Wyoming s Blair Burns and returned to the Wyoming 48. It took quarterback Brett Smith and the Cowboys just two plays and 24 seconds to find paydirt, as Smith hit receiver Jalen Claiborne to trim NU s lead to 37-27, after Wyoming s two-point conversion attempt was smothered by Husker defensive back Josh Mitchell. After another turnover, Smith struck quickly again, hitting receiver Robert Herron on a 47-yard touchdown pass just 29 seconds later to pull Wyoming within On NU s ensuing drive, Wyoming forced a three-and-out by the Huskers, who got a clutch 31-yard punt from Sam Foltz that was caught by NU s Kenny Bell at the Wyoming 6. Smith got a chance at the upset, but the Husker defense held Wyoming without a shot at the end zone to escape with the victory. Smith completed 29-of-43 passes for 383 yards with four touchdowns in a losing effort, although Ciante Evans and Stanley Jean-Baptiste each pulled down interceptions for the Huskers. Overall, the two teams combined for 1,132 yards of total offense, as Wyoming finished with 602 total yards, including 219 yards on the ground.

Nebraska s opportunistic defense was the story, as Stanley Jean-Baptiste and Ciante Evans both returned passes for TDs, as the Huskers jumped out to a 21-3 first-quarter lead and never looked back. Nebraska turned four USM turnovers into 21 points in picking up its 10th straight home victory. Nebraska finished the night with 479 total yards, including 285 rushing and 194 passing.

Martinez went 15-for-23 through the air for 170 yards and three scores in just over two and a half quarters of action. While the offense enjoyed substituting freely and spreading the ball around with the lopsided win, the Blackshirts celebrated a strong effort. Nebraska s defense intercepted four passes, including a pair by senior Ciante Evans. Jean-Baptiste set the tone early, returning Allan Bridgford s pass 43 yards for a score on USM s first offensive series. The Blackshirts held Southern Miss to 284 total yards, including 62 on the ground. In fact, USM had just four rushing yards until midway through the fourth quarter. In addition to the three combined interceptions by Evans (2) and Jean-Baptiste, Corey Cooper grabbed the first interception of his career for Nebraska.
