The opponent will be a familiar foe as long-time rival Oklahoma will represent the South Division and the schools will meet for the first time in the 11 years of the Big 12 Championship Game. Game time on Saturday night in Kansas City is set for 7:13 p.m., and the matchup will be televised nationally by ABC Sports. After playing in three of the first four Big 12 Championship Games from 1996 to 1999, and winning league crowns in 1997 and 1999, Nebraska has been absent from the past six title games. Oklahoma meanwhile has been a fixture in the game in recent years. The Sooners did not play in the first four Big 12 title games, but has been the South representative in five of the past seven seasons, winning Big 12 titles in 2000, 2002 and 2004. Both teams enter the matchup with good momentum. The Huskers completed their regular-season with a 9-3 overall record and a 6-2 mark in league play, thanks to a three-game winning streak to end the regular season. Nebraska capped a perfect 5-0 run through the North Division with a 37-14 victory over Colorado last Friday at Memorial Stadium. Oklahoma dropped to 3-2 after an Oct. 7 loss to Texas in Dallas, but the Sooners have responded with seven straight wins, the sixth-longest win streak in the nation. The Sooners earned the South Division title with a 27-21 victory at in-state rival Oklahoma State last Saturday afternoon. Saturday night s game will mark the 24th time the Battle of the Big Reds will pit a pair of nationally ranked teams. The Huskers enter the contest ranked 19th by the Associated Press and 18th in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Oklahoma is listed eighth in this week s AP poll and is ranked 10th by the coaches. The winner of Saturday night s matchup will earn the Big 12 Conference s automatic berth in the Bowl Championship Series and a trip to the Jan. 1 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.

Nebraska used a series of effective trick plays and dominated the game s final 25 minutes to pull away from a 14-14 tie early in the third quarter, and pick up the first win by the home team in the Nebraska- CU series since 2001. Nebraska scored on its opening drive to take a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. However, Colorado quickly responded and showed it would put up a fight in the game. Nebraska used its first trickery to take a touchdown lead at halftime. The Huskers faced a fourth and seven on the CU 29 late in the second quarter when NU lined up in an unconventional formation and reserve quarterback Joe Ganz hit defensive end Barry Turner in the end zone for a 29-yard touchdown. Nebraska appeared poised to take a two TD lead on the first drive of the second half, but a fumble in the red zone stopped NU s scoring threat. Colorado quickly responded and scored on a 45-yard touchdown run to tie the game with 11:51 left in the third quarter. The rest of the game was all Nebraska thanks in part to Nebraska continuing to reach deep into its playbook. Quarterback Zac Taylor connected with wideout Maurice Purify on a pair of key third-down conversions to put NU deep into Colorado territory. Then Taylor was interfered with on a halfback pass, giving Nebraska new set of downs inside the 20. Two plays later Brandon Jackson surged across the goal line from the 2, giving Nebraska a 21-14 edge.

Place-kicker Jordan Congdon lofted a punt to the CU 1, where Turner made a great play to down the ball. One play later defensive stalwarts Adam Carriker and Corey McKeon teamed up for a safety and a 23-14 NU lead. Following the free kick, NU kept its drive alive courtesy of a fake punt. Taylor capped the drive with an 18-yard scoring strike to Jackson for a 30-14 NU lead. The Huskers added a late touchcown for the final advantage, and their largest victory over the Buffs in Lincoln since 1992. Nebraska raced up 468 yards of total offense, while holding Colorado to 297 yards. Jackson totaled 190 all-purpose yards on a school-record 41 attempts, while Taylor threw for 249 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Carriker dominated on the defensive side with three tackles for loss, including a pair of sacks. Noting Game 12...Nebraska 37, Colorado 14 The victory gave Nebraska its 35th nine-win season in the last 38 years and the first since 2003. The win was Nebraska s seventh straight against Big 12 North Division opponents, including wins over Kansas State and Colorado to end last season. Nebraska s 5-0 record in the North Division this season is the Huskers first perfect divisional record since 1999. The win ended a streak of four straight road victories by the visiting team in the Nebraska-Colorado series. Nebraska s 23-point margin of victory was its largest over Colorado in Lincoln since a 24-7 victory in 1994. Nebraska finished 6-1 at home in 2006, marking NU s first six-win home season since 2003 and the 22nd time in 25 years Nebraska has lost one or no home games. The crowd of 85,800 was a Memorial Stadium record, bettering the crowd of 85,197 against Missouri on Nov. 4. NU averaged a school-record 85,044 fans per game at home in 2006, breaking the previous mark of 77,878 set in 2000. Nebraska senior quarterback Zac Taylor s two touchdowns passes gave him 24 this season, extending his own school record, and 43 in his career, tying the school record also held by Tommie Frazier (1992 to 1995). Taylor has 2,789 passing yards this season, establishing a Nebraska season passing yards record, bettering his 2,653 yards a year ago. Junior wide receiver Terrence Nunn caught four passes, including a 15-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter. Nunn s four receptions give him 96 career receptions and moved him past Matt Davison (93) into second place on the Nebraska career receptions list. Nunn has 37 receptions in 2006, moving him into the top 10 on the single-season chart. Nunn is one of only two players with two of the top 10 single-season reception effort in school history, joining Johnny Rodgers who owns the top two season reception totals in school history. I-back Brandon Jackson rushed a career-high 34 times for 142 yards, pushing his season rushing total to 881 and becoming just the second player to rush for 100 or more yards against Colorado this season. Jackson finished Big 12 play averaging 94.4 yards rushing per game in conference games only. Continued on page five Page 2

Scouting the Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma (10-2; 7-1 Big 12) pushed through a great deal of adversity this season on its way to winning the Big 12 South division championship for the fifth time in the last seven years. Head Coach Bob Stoops has guided his squad to seven straight wins following an early October loss to Texas without star tailback Adrian Peterson, who suffered a broken collarbone the following week against Iowa State. The Sooners also were forced to change quarterbacks during fall camp following the dismissal of sophomore Rhett Bomar. Senior quarterback Paul Thompson has filled in admirably behind center after switching over from wide receiver in early August, guiding an OU offense that ranks among the nation s top 25 teams in both rushing and scoring. Thompson has completed 61.5 percent of his passes this season for 2,169 yards and 18 touchdowns, totals that rank among OU s top 10 all-time single-season leaders. His strong performance has helped ease the loss of Peterson, who still leads the team with 935 yards rushing (155.8 ypg) and 10 touchdowns in only six games. If Peterson is unable to play, the Sooners will look to junior Allen Patrick (665 yards) and freshman Chris Brown (339 yards). Brown has compiled a 84.8 ypg average and six touchdowns while playing only the last four games. A trio of sophomores lead the Oklahoma receiving corps. Malcolm Kelly, who became the quickest player in program history to reach 1,000 career yards receiving earlier this season, paces the squad in catches (52), receiving yards (851) and scoring receptions (eight). Juaquin Iglesias has totaled 33 catches for 368 yards, while Manuel Johnson has added 274 yards on 25 receptions. Junior tight end Joe Jon Finley has scored three touchdowns on 19 receptions this season. The Sooners possess one of the country s strongest defenses, and the unit features only four seniors, each among the front seven. OU leads the Big 12 this season in pass efficiency defense, total defense and points allowed. The catalyst behind Oklahoma s 4-3 scheme are senior linebackers Rufus Alexander and Zach Latimer. Alexander has recorded team-leading totals of 95 tackles, including 10.5 tackles for loss, and three forced fumbles, while Latimer has added 73 stops (10 TFL) and a team-high three interceptions. Senior defensive end C.J. Ah You and junior bookend Steven Coleman each have notched a team-high three sacks. Oklahoma s defensive backfield, which includes two sophomore and two junior starters, is one of the youngest and most talented in the nation. Sophomore strong safety Reggie Smith and junior cornerback Nic Harris share the squad lead with eight pass breakups apiece, while Harris has matched Latimer s interception total with three. Junior Darien Williams ranks third among all Sooners in tackles behind only Alexander and Latimer with 62 stops. Oklahoma Head Coach Bob Stoops Head Coach Bob Stoops (Iowa, 1983) owns an 85-18 record in his eighth season at Oklahoma. Stoops, who took over an OU program five years removed from a winning record and four from a postseason appearance in 1999, quickly returned the Sooners to national prominence. He led his 2000 squad to a national championship in only his second year, and he has also guided to Sooners to three Big 12 crowns and four BCS bowl bids. Stoops was hired at Oklahoma after a highly successful career as defensive coordinator at Florida (1996-98) and Kansas State (1991-95). He previosly served assistant coaching posts at Kansas State (1989-90), Kent State (1988) and Iowa (1983-87). Stoops was a graduate assistant under Hayden Fry at Iowa after starting four years at defensive back for the Hawkeyes (1979-82). Nebraska-Oklahoma Series...83rd Meeting Nebraska and Oklahoma renew an old-time rivalry Saturday between former Big Eight Conference rivals. The Sooners hold a 42-37-3 advantage in the historic series that was first played in 1912. Nebraska has won 10 of the last 14 meetings, but OU won the last two games in 2004 and 2005. This week s meeting will be the 24th matchup with both squads ranked among the AP Top 25. While the series historically has been one of the top matchups in college football, it also is one of the most unpredictable. In the previous 23 matchups where both teams entered the game ranked, the lower ranked team has won nearly half of the time (11 games).

Since the conclusion of spring ball, four native Nebraskans who originally joined the program as walk-ons have been awarded scholarships. The group includes senior safety Brandon Rigoni (Lincoln), senior linebacker Andy Kadavy (Seward), junior safety Ben Eisenhart (Culbertson) and sophomore receiver Todd Peterson (Grand Island). The four walk-ons who were awarded scholarships pushed the total of former walk-ons Callahan has put on scholarship to 17 since his arrival in January of 2004. Of that group, 13 were native Nebraskans. Nebraska Head Coach Bill Callahan Bill Callahan is in his third season as the head coach of the Nebraska football program and owns a 22-13 record with the Huskers, 0-2 against Oklahoma. Callahan is the 27th head coach in Husker history, taking the reins of the program in January of 2004. Callahan capped his second season at Nebraska with three consecutive wins, including a triumph over Michigan in the Alamo Bowl. The 2005 season marked the first time Nebraska has won its final three games of the season since 1999. Callahan also guided Nebraska to wins over Kansas State and Colorado in the same season for the first time since 1999. In 2006, Callahan has guided Nebraska to its first nine-win season in three years and guided the Huskers to a sweep of its Big 12 North Division foes. The Husker offense has also ranked among the nation s best, ranking in the top 20 in all four major statistical categories. Callahan came to Nebraska after two seasons as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders. He guided Oakland to the AFC Championship and Super Bowl XXXVII in his rookie season as a head coach in 2002, and compiled a 17-18 overall record as the Raiders' head man. Callahan is one of five coaches to take a collegiate head coaching job after previously guiding a team to a Super Bowl appearance. Army Head Coach Bobby Ross is also active in the college ranks, while George Allen, Forrest Gregg and Bill Walsh previously led teams to the Super Bowl and returned to the college game. The 50-year-old Callahan spent nine years in the National Football League, beginning his pro coaching career with the Philadelphia Eagles from 1995 to 1997. He served as an assistant with the Raiders for four seasons from 1998 to 2001, before taking over the top job in Oakland in 2002. Callahan had extensive experience at the collegiate level before taking the job at Nebraska. Before moving into the professional ranks, Callahan served as the offensive line coach at Wisconsin for five seasons and also had assistant coaching stints at Illinois, Northern Arizona and Southern Illinois. Overall, Callahan is in his 29th year in the coaching profession. In addition to his nine years in the National Football League and 15 previous seasons as a collegiate assistant, Callahan was an assistant coach for two seasons in the Illinois prep ranks in 1978 and 1979. Callahan has Midwest roots, as he is a native of Chicago. He earned his bachelor's degree from Illinois Benedictine in 1978. He was an NAIA honorable-mention All-America selection as a quarterback in each of his final two seasons. Huskers Boast Championship Coaching Staff Callahan has built a coaching staff with championship credentials, both on the collegiate and professional level. There was just one change on the coaching staff from 2005. Former Colorado offensive coordinator Shawn Watson joined the Huskers last winter and serves as the Huskers tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator. Watson and Callahan worked together at the University of Illinois in the early 1980s. Watson was the architect of a Colorado offense that helped the Buffs to four Big 12 North titles in the past five years and a conference championship in 2001. Watson s strong coaching backgrond adds to an impressive staff that has had success at all levels, both on the field and on the recruiting trail. 4Callahan's coaching staff features four coaches who have either played or coached in the Super Bowl. Callahan and Offensive Coordinator Jay Norvell coached in Super Bowl XXXVII with Oakland, and running backs coach Randy Jordan was a player on that team. John Blake was part of the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl championship teams in both 1993 and 1995. 4In addition to the NFL success of the coaches, Callahan's staff has a history of winning championships at the collegiate level. Members of the Nebraska coaching staff have been part of teams that have captured league titles in each of the following conferences Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Mid-American, Mountain West, Pac-10 and Western Athletic. 4The staff has recruiting ties in nearly every part of the United States. Recruiting analyst Tom Lemming compiled a list of the 10 best recruiters in college history in 2001. Callahan was included on the list although he had been out of the college ranks for six years at that time. Defensive line coach John Blake was recognized by Rivals.com as one of the nation s top recruiters in 2005. Callahan Has Busy Off-Season of Charity Events Since his arrival at Nebraska, Callahan has impressed upon his players the importance of a well-rounded experience including community outreach and involvement. In that area, Callahan has led by example. Callahan continues to spend significant time in the off-season with community events, including several Coach Callahan Charities functions. The third Football 101 for Women took place in early June in Lincoln, with more than 1,100 participants learning more about the game of football. For the first time the event took place at Nebraska s Hawks Championship Center. The day included demonstrations on all parts of football, a Q&A forum with Husker players, and the event again concluded with participants breaking into beginning, intermediate and advanced groups to learn more about the X s and O s of the game from members of the Husker staff. The Football 101 event raised more than $50,000 to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Callahan and his wife, Valerie, also spearheaded Coach Callahan s Fun Run/Walk for Resources on Saturday, Aug. 19. Coach Callahan was the starter for the race and also weclomed the winners to the finish line on Stadium Drive. The event raised funds for Juvenile Diabetes and the University Libraries. Callahan was the featured speaker at the Make-a-Wish Foundation s Red Tie Dinner in Lincoln in late July, and was the featured speaker at the Special Olympics Breakfast of Champions last spring.

Continued from page two Jackson caught a career-high six passes for 42 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown reception from Taylor, marking Jackson s second TD reception of the season (49-yarder vs. Texas). His 41 all-purpose attempts set a Nebraska record, bettering 40 attempts by Lawrence Phillips at Iowa State on Nov. 12, 1994. The touchdown pass from Ganz to Turner marked the fourth time in six games Nebraska has scored a touchdown on a trick play, and the third straight home game the Huskers scored in an unconventional manner. Senior defensive end Adam Carriker had two sacks for 18 yards in losses, giving him a team-leading six sacks this season. Carriker has five sacks in the past four games and has 19.5 career sacks, sixth on the NU career list. Carriker had three tackles for loss in the game and has 40 career TFL, fifth on the Nebraska charts. Carriker s third TFL resulted in a safety. The tackle for loss by Carriker and Corey McKeon for a safety marked the Huskers first safety since a McKeon sack at Kansas last season. Freshman safety Major Culbert partially blocked a Colorado punt in the first quarter, setting up the Huskers opening scoring drive. Culbert s blocked punt was Nebraska s fourth blocked kick of the season. NU blocked field goal against Texas A&M and blocked extra points against Texas and Oklahoma State. Nebraska had seven blocked kicks last season. Nebraska converted four of five Red Zone trips into touchdowns against Colorado. The Huskers turned the ball over on a third-quarter Red Zone trip, marking the only time in 24 trips into the Red Zone in conference games that Nebraska did not score. NU is 41-of-46 in all games in the Red Zone. Nebraska scored first for the 11th time in 12 games this season on a 15-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. Nebraska continued to perform well on third downs. The Huskers converted 8-of-15 third down conversions, including 4-of-6 attempts in the first half. NU was also a perfect 3-of-3 on fourth down. The third-quarter touchdown run by Brandon Jackson marked Nebraska s first points in the third quarter since the Kansas State game.

The Huskers opened the month with a 34-20 win over then- No. 25 Missouri (Coaches) in Lincoln to take control of the Big 12 North Division race. Nebraska then clinched the North Division title with a 28-27 win at No. 24 Texas A&M on Nov. 11. The Huskers closed out the month with a 37-14 victory over Colorado in Lincoln. This year marked Nebraska s first perfect November since the 1999 campaign, also the last time Nebraska qualified for the Big 12 Championship Game. Nebraska has five straight wins in November, its longest win streak in the month since winning its final game in 1998, all three in 1999 and its first game in November of 2000. NU to Make Second Appearance at Arrowhead This marks the fourth time the Big 12 Championship game has been contested at Arrowhead Stadium (also 2000, 2003 and 2004). Oklahoma has been involved in each of those games, but Nebraska has not played in Arrowhead in a Big 12 title game. Saturday night s matchup will mark the Huskers second game at Arrowhead Stadium. In 1998, the Huskers met Oklahoma State in Kansas City, posting a 24-17 victory thanks to a goal-line stand at the end of the game. Since 1983, Nebraska owns a 15-6 record in games in NFL stadiums, most recently a 24-17 victory at Pittsburgh s Heinz Field in 2004. Nebraska is 8-1 in regular season games in that time and 7-5 in bowl games. ABC Cameras Following Huskers Nebraska will play its sixth consecutive game and eighth of the season on ABC in the Big 12 Championship Game. The six straight ABC appearances marks the longest streak in school history on one network. Nebraska played five straight games on ABC to end the 1999 regular season, including the Big 12 title game. Nebraska made eight appearances on ABC in 1999, its most on a single network in a season, a mark that has been tied this season. Huskers, OU Set for First Meeting for Big 12 Crown When the Big 12 was formed, Nebraska and Oklahoma no longer matched up each season. It was assumed the two teams would be regular foes in the Big 12 Championship Game, but surprisingly it has taken 11 years for that matchup to become a reality. Nebraska and Oklahoma nearly met for the Big 12 title in both 2000 and 2001. 4In 2000, Oklahoma defeated Nebraska 31-14 in Norman in October en route to a perfect regular season. Nebraska was poised for a rematch in Kansas City, before losing 29-28 at Kansas State, sending the Wildcats to Arrowhead Stadium. Oklahoma defeated Kansas State and went on to capture the national title. 4In 2001, Nebraska defeated Oklahoma, 20-10, in Lincoln and both teams went into Thanksgiving weekend set for a rematch in Dallas. However, Nebraska lost at Colorado, while Oklahoma State upset the Sooners in Norman, resulting in a Colorado-Texas Big 12 Championship Game. While this is the first meeting between the two schools for the Big 12 title, it is not the first postseason meeting between Nebraska and Oklahoma. In 1978, Nebraska upset No. 1 Oklahoma in the regular season, but lost to Missouri the following week, resulting in a Husker-Sooner rematch in the Orange Bowl (OU, 31-24). Nebraska-OU Has History of Playing for Conference Titles While Saturday night s game will mark the first Big 12 Championship Game between Nebraska and Oklahoma, the teams are used to playing with high stakes on the line. Nebraska faced Oklahoma in the final conference regular-season game in 42 of 46 seasons between 1950 and the end of the Big Eight in 1995, often with a league title on the line. 4Between 1962 and 1995, either Nebraska or Oklahoma captured at least a share of the Big Eight title in every season except 1989 and 1990. The winner of the game represented the Big Eight in the Orange Bowl in 17 of the final 19 seasons of the league. 4Since the formation of the Big 12, the teams have met six times, with each team winning three games. Before last season s Oklahoma victory in Lincoln, one or both of the teams had been ranked in the top five at the time of the matchup. In both 2000 and 2001, both teams entered the game undefeated and ranked in the top three in the Associated Press poll. The winner of each of those games advanced to the BCS National Championship Game. 4Nebraska has won 43 football conference championships overall, including eight under Coach Bob Devaney and 13 under Coach Tom Osborne. Oklahoma has won 35 conference championships to rank second behind NU among conference schools. Huskers Looking for Third Big 12 Crown Nebraska is 2-1 in its previous three trips to the Big 12 Championship Game (1996, 1997 and 1999). A Nebraska victory would tie the Huskers with Oklahoma for the most Big 12 crowns since the inception of the league. Here s a brief look at Nebraska s previous three trips to the conference title game. 41996 Texas 37, #3 Nebraska 27 (St. Louis) Texas pulled one of the biggest upsets in Big 12 title game history with a 37-27 win over the third-ranked Huskers. The loss prevented Nebraska from the opportunity to capture a third straight national championship and was one of just two Husker losses from 1994 to 1997. Nebraska took a 27-23 lead with 10 minutes remaining in the game, but Texas scored two touchdowns in the final nine minutes to pull the upset. Texas quarterback James Brown passed for 353 yards in the game to key the Longhorbn victory. Nebraska ran 30 more offensive plays in the game and held the ball for nearly 40 minutes, but could not overcome UT s explosiveness. 41997 #2 Nebraska 54, #14 Texas A&M 15 (San Antonio) Nebraska continued its run to a third national title in four seasons by dominating Texas A&M from start to finish in a 54-15 victory at the Alamodome. Nebraska broke in front 23-0 early in the second quarter and led 37-3 at the half. The Huskers rolled up 335 rushing yards and 536 yards of total offense, while limiting the Aggies to 277 yards of offense, including just 13 rushing yards. I-back Ahman Green rushed 34 times for 179 yards and three touchdowns. 41999 #3 Nebraska 22, #12 Texas 6 (San Antonio) Nebraska became the first school with two Big 12 crowns, using a dominant defensive performance to defeat Texas, 22-6, in San Antonio. The game was the first rematch in the Big 12 title game, and avenged Nebraska s only defeat of the 1999 campaign. The Huskers broke to a 10-0 lead after one quarter, led 15-0 at the half and shut out the Longhorns until UT scored on a defensive touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Nebraska held Texas to just 178 yards of total offense, including nine yards rushing. Nebraska had seven sacks for 44 yards in losses in the game. I-back Correll Buckhalter rushed 20 times for 136 yards, while quarterback Eric Crouch scored a pair of rushing touchdowns. North Division Sweep Keys NU Trip to Kansas City The Huskers North Division crown is largely due to their play within the division. Dating back to last season, Nebraska has won seven straight games against Big 12 North opponents, its longest divisional winning streak in six years. The Huskers won nine straight from 1998 to 2000, capturing its final North game in 1998, all five games against divisional foes in 1999 and the first three in 2000. In each of the three previous seasons Nebraska has represented the North in the Big 12 title game (1996, 1997, 1999), the Huskers have posted a 5-0 record in divisional games, a mark Nebraska matched with its 37-14 win over Colorado. Nebraska is the first North Division team to complete divisional play undefeated since 2003. Page 6

If the total holds up to the end of the season, it would mark Nebraska s best total offensive output since 2001 when Nebraska averaged 459.9 yards per game. In fact, Nebraska has averaged more than 400 yards of total offense just twice in the past eight years. Prior to 1998, Nebraska averaged better than 400 yards per game for 24 straight seasons. Year Total Offense 1998 384.9 1999 392.2 2000 459.9 2001 451.2 2002 373.1 2003 345.0 2004 363.2 2005 320.3 2006 434.0 Nebraska Scoring Offense Stats The Huskers rank ninth nationally in scoring offense at 33.9 points per game. Nebraska last averaged better than 30 points per game in 2001, when the Huskers posted 37.4 points per game. That season was the 24th straight year the Huskers had averaged at least 30 points a game. Nebraska has scored 27 or more points in 12 of 15 games dating back to the final three games of the 2005 season. Year Scoring Offense 2001 37.4 2002 27.4 2003 24.8 2004 25.0 2005 24.7 2006 33.9 Memorial Stadium Firepower Nebraska ranks ninth nationally in scoring offense at 33.9 points per game, thanks primarily to an impressive offensive output at home. NU averaged 50.0 points per game in its first four home games and averaged 41.6 per game at home in 2006. Nebraska scored 14 points in each quarter against Nicholls State and Troy, and had a streak of 10 straight quarters at home with 14 or more points, including the final quarter against Louisiana Tech and the first quarter against Kansas. NU scored at least one touchdown in 24 of 28 quarters at home this season. Nebraska scored at least 49 points in three straight home games to open the season. The last time Nebraska scored 49 or more points in three straight home games was in 1996, when NU defeated Baylor (49-0), Kansas (63-7) and Missouri (51-7). This marks only the third time in school history Nebraska has scored 49 or more points in each of its first three home games (1996, 1974). Nebraska has scored at least 24 points in 10 of its last 11 home games. 2006 Husker Offense Showing Balance, Explosiveness and Flexibility Nebraska has featured excellent balance and firepower on offense in 2006. The Huskers have posted four of the top six total offense efforts in Bill Callahan s three seasons as head coach, including a season-high 597 yards against Troy, the most by Nebraska in five seasons. Nebraska has also topped 500 yards against Louisiana Tech (584) and Kansas (511), while just missing the mark against Nicholls State (498). In the latest NCAA rankings, Nebraska stacks up well nationally on offense. The Huskers rank ninth nationally in scoring offense (33.9 ppg), ninth in total offense (434.0 ypg), 18th in rushing offense (183.2 ypg) and 18th in passing offense (250.8 ypg). Nebraska is one of just three teams in the nation to rank in the top 25 in rushing offense, passing offense, total offense and scoring offense, joining Louisville and Oregon. The Huskers 2006 offense has shown the explosiveness and efficiency Head Coach Bill Callahan is seeking in Nebraska s version of the West Coast Offense. 4 The 597 yards of total offense against Troy were the most by Nebraska in Callahan s three seasons as head coach, and the most since a 688-yard effort at Baylor in 2001. Nebraska has had four of its top five offensive outputs under Callahan in 2006. 4 Nebraska's 434.0 average in total offense is its best in five seasons and is 113.7 yards better than its total offensive output in 2005. 4Against Louisiana Tech, Nebraska topped 250 yards in both rushing and passing for the first time in a decade (Kansas, 1996). It took Nebraska exactly three weeks to accomplish the feat again, as the Huskers rushed for 316 yards and passed for 281 yards against Troy. 4 The Huskers have produced four of their top seven rushing efforts under Callahan this season, with 316 yards against Troy, 261 yards against Nicholls State, 252 vs. Louisiana Tech and 251 yards at Iowa State. Before the 316-yard outburst against Troy, Nebraska last topped 300 yards on the ground against Western Illinois in 2004. 4 Nebraska s back-to-back 250-yard rushing efforts to open the season marked the first time NU had topped 250 yards on the ground in consecutive games since 2004 (Western Illinois and Southern Miss). Nebraska has topped 200 yards on the ground five times in 2006, after posting a season-high of 182 yards last season, a mark Nebraska has topped eight times in 2006. 4 The Huskers showed the ability to rely on the pass when needed. Nebraska threw for 395 yards, the second-most in school history, in a 39-32 overtime win over Kansas. 4 With an impressive running attack, Nebraska has shown the ability to control the clock. NU has held the ball more than 33:44 in eight games this season, including 34:51 or better in October road games at Iowa State, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. The Huskers are averaging 33:01 of possession time, a figure that ranks fifth nationally. Last season Nebraska averaged 29:56 of possession time per game. Nebraska has run 66 more offensive plays than its opponents this season. 4 The Huskers are converting 48.2 percent (82-of-170) of their third-down conversions, including 11-of-16 against Louisiana Tech, 11- of-17 against Missouri and 7-for-11 vs. Troy. The rate ranks 11th nationally. 4 Nebraska racked up 30 first downs in each of its first two games, the first time the Huskers had back-to-back games with 30 first downs Charting the 2006 Husker Offense Coach Bill Callahan stressed the importance of an improved run game in 2006. Nebraska has responded, averaging 183.2 yards per game on the ground to rank fourth in the Big 12 and 18th in the nation. Game Rushes Rush Yds. Passes Pass Yds.

On the year, Nebraska has 113 first downs by rush, 125 by pass and 13 by penalty. 4 Nebraska has spread the wealth on offense. Seventeen different players have scored touchdowns, with seven different players scoring TDs in each of the first two games. 4 In wins over Louisiana Tech and Nicholls State, Nebraska topped 49 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2000, when Nebraska topped 49 points in three straight games at mid-season (Iowa State, Texas Tech, Baylor). The Husker offense left an impression on Troy Head Coach Larry Blakeney following the 56-0 NU win... That is the best football team we have faced in a long time. I don t know what they call that offense, if it is West Coast or East Coast or South Coast or Canadian or whatever, but it was very well-designed and gave us more than we could handle. Their style of play and their physical approach and their ability with Zac Taylor to throw the football down the field really gave us more than we could handle. Page 7

A large part of that first quarter success has come during Nebraska s first drive of the game. The Huskers have scored on their first drive of the game seven times in 12 games, including four straight games from Troy to Kansas State. Nebraska also scored touchdowns on its opening drives against Nicholls State and Colorado, and kicked a field goal on its initial drive at Oklahoma State. In games against Troy, Kansas, Iowa State and Kansas State, Nebraska lost the coin toss each week and the opposition deferred, giving the football to the Huskers. Nebraska responded by driving for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead in each of the four games. Nebraska had ball-control drives to open the game against Troy (10 plays, 73 yards, 5:47), Iowa State (10 plays, 80 yards, 5:27) and Kansas State (9 plays, 80 yards, 3:54), while striking quickly against Kansas (2 plays, 80 yards, :50). The Texas game is the only time this season Nebraska did not score first, but the Huskers did put a touchdown on the board on their second drive of the game. Nebraska kicked a field goal on its second drive of the day at Missouri, and scored a touchdown on its second drive at Texas A&M. Nebraska Looks to Continue Red Zone Efficiency Nebraska is among the Big 12 and nation s best offenses at converting Red Zone opportunities into touchdowns. The Huskers have converted 41-of-46 red zone trips into scores, including 38 touchdowns, 20 by rush and 18 by pass. The Huskers Red Zone success is even more impressive in Big 12 Conference play. Nebraska was perfect in its first seven league games in the Red Zone, before a third-quarter fumble against Colorado ending the string at 20 straight conversions. Nebraska converted three later Red Zone trips into touchdowns and finished Big 12 Conference play 23-of-24 in the Red Zone, including 20 touchdowns. Oklahoma leads the Big 12 in Red Zone success at 93.3 percent (42-of-45). The Sooners are also 23-of-24 in the Red Zone in Big 12 games. Quarterback Taylor Leading Husker Offense, Continuing to Re-Write NU Passing Records Senior quarterback Zac Taylor is the man at the helm of Nebraska s offense. The 6-2, 210-pound Taylor had a record-setting 2005 campaign, and has established himself as a contender for Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors. Taylor continued his assault on the Nebraska passing record book against Colorado. Taylor threw for two touchdown passes against the Buffs, giving him 24 this season. His 24 TD passes surpassed the previous season touchdown passes record of 20 by Vince Ferragamo in 1976. Taylor has thrown 16 touchdown passes and just two interceptions in Big 12 games. The 24 touchdown passes this season give Taylor 43 in his Nebraska career, tied with Tommie Frazier for the NU record. Taylor has at least one TD pass in each of Nebraska s last nine games, and two in each of the Huskers past five games. Taylor became Nebraska s career passing yardage leader against Texas A&M. With 267 yards against the Aggies, Taylor moved his career total to 5,193 yards, bettering the previous NU career record of 5,035 yards Zac Taylor Game-by-Game in 2006 Game Att. Comp.

Game 13 Big 12 Championship Three Seniors Serving as 2006 Captains A trio of Husker seniors were elected by their teammates as captains for the 2006 Huskers. Quarterback Zac Taylor, defensive end Adam Carriker and safety/special teams standout Brandon Rigoni join the prestigious list of those who have served as captains at Nebraska. Taylor, a native of Norman, Okla., set a Nebraska single-season passing record as a junior last season. Taylor becomes the second member of his family to serve as a team captain in college football. His father, Sherwood, was a starting defensive back at Oklahoma in the late 1970s and served as a Sooner captain. Carriker was a preseason All-America selection by several media outlets after recording 9.5 sacks as a junior last season. A native of Kennewick, Wash., Carriker is the first Washington native to serve as a Nebraska captain. Rigoni continues the tradition of NU captains from Lincoln. The 2006 season marks the third time in the past four years Nebraska has had a hometown captain. At the start of fall camp Rigoni was awarded a scholarship for his senior season. Husker Offense Hitting Home Runs Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor threw three touchdown passes of 75 yards or more in Nebraska s victory over Kansas. Taylor connected on 78 and 75 yard scores to Frantz Hardy, in addition to a 75-yard scoring strike to Terrence Nunn on the game's second play. The 78-yard pass play is the secondlongest in the Big 12 this season and the 75-yarders are tied for third. The three long touchdown strikes in a single-game were an extremely rare feat. The game marked the first time Nebraska had ever had three passes of 75 yards or more in a single game in school history. In fact, before the Kansas game Nebraska had never had more than two passes of 75 yards or more in a season. The three long touchdown passes were three of just 16 pass plays of 75 yards or more in Nebraska history. Research indicates the feat by Nebraska is a first in the Big 12 Conference and quite rare on the national level. Kentucky also accomplished the feat against Georgia in 2000, and Virginia Tech turned the trick against Syracuse in 2002, but no other school has indicated they have had three passes of 75 yards or more in the same game. Nebraska now has 25 pass plays of 70 yards or more in school history, with seven of those coming in Bill Callahan's 30 games as Husker head coach. Before 2006, NU had just three seasons with two pass plays of 70 yards or more, with two of those being 2004 and 2005. Third-Down Success Key for Huskers The Nebraska offense has ranked among the nation s best in converting third downs. The Huskers rank third in the Big 12 and 11th nationally with a 48.2 percent success rate. The defensive effort on third downs has been equally important. The Huskers are third in the Big 12 and 30th nationally in stopping opponent third-down conversions, with a 33.0 percent conversion rate. In the Huskers nine victories, opponents have converted just 33-of-121 (27.2 percent) of their third-down attempts. However, in losses to USC, Texas and Oklahoma State the opposition has combined to convert 22-of-44 third downs (50 percent). Nebraska wins over Missouri and Texas A&M showed the importance of third down conversions. Against Mizzou, Nebraska converted 11-of-17 third down conversions, while limiting the Tigers to just 3-of-13. Nebraska dominated the first half defensively in its win at Texas A&M, in large part because of the Aggies 0-of-5 third-down performance. In the second half, Texas A&M scored 17 points and converted on 5-of-9 third-down attempts. The Husker offense will be tested against Oklahoma, as the Sooners rank second in the Big 12 and 17th nationally in third-down defense. Third Down Success Nebraska on 3rd downs Opponents on 3rd downs In Nebraska s nine wins 66-127 (52.0 percent) 33-121 (27.2 percent) In Nebraska s three losses 16-43 (37.2 percent) 22-44 (50 percent) by Dave Humm from 1972 to 1974. Taylor s career total now stands at 5,442 yards. 4Taylor pushed his season passing total to 2,789 yards with his 249 yards against Colorado, bettering his own season record of 2,653 passing yards last season. Taylor s latest record assault is continuing an impressive 2006 season and two-year Nebraska career. Taylor has completed 62.2 percent of his passes in 2006 (196-of-315), up from 55.1 percent in 2005. Taylor has 24 touchdowns and four interceptions, and his pass efficiency rating of 159.20 ranks ninth in the country. His pass efficiency rating against Nicholls State (213.77) was the eighth-best in school history. Taylor has twice thrown for a career-high four touchdown passes (Nicholls State, Kansas), bettering the three touchdown passes in his previous two games (Louisiana Tech, Michigan). In Nebraska s last 15 games dating back to last season, Taylor has thrown for 31 touchdowns against just six interceptions. Against Louisiana Tech, Taylor had a streak of 11 straight completions, including eight straight completions for 98 yards in engineering a two-minute drive before halftime. Against Nicholls State, Taylor s first pass attempt fell incomplete, but he completed his next 12 pass attempts before an incompletion. The 12 straight completions were three off the Nebraska school record. He opened the Troy game by completing 12 of 13 passes. Taylor had a streak of 104 straight passes without an interception end at Texas A&M, his third streak of the season of 80 or more passes without a pick. He had a streak of 83 straight passes without an interception end in the second quarter against Troy, and a streak of 84 consecutive without a pick end vs. Texas. Taylor s 395-yard passing effort against Kansas was the second-highest total in Nebraska history, trailing only his 431 yards against Iowa State in 2005. Taylor owns the top three single-game passing efforts in NU history. He has 15 career games with 200 or more passing yards (nine in 2006), including 13 of the past 17 games. Against Kansas, Taylor had the three longest passes of his NU career, a 78-yard strike to Frantz Hardy and a pair of 75-yard touchdown passes, one each to Hardy and Terrence Nunn. In Taylor s Nebraska Records Here is a list of some of the career and season Nebraska records held by Husker senior quarterback Zac Taylor. Career Passing Yards 5,442 yards in 24 games (old record: 5,035 yards) Pass Completions 433 (old record: 353) Pass Attempts 745 (old record: 637) Passing Yards per Game 226.8 ypg (old record: 152.6 ypg) Touchdowns (tied) 43, shared with Tommie Frazier Season Passing Yards 2,789 (old record: 2,653 by Taylor in 2005) Pass Completions 237 by Taylor in 2005 (196 this season) Pass Attempts 430 by Taylor in 2005 (315 this season) Passing Yards per Game 232.4 ypg (old record: 221.1 by Taylor in 2005) Lowest Interception Percentage 1.27% (4 INT in 315 attempts, old record: 1.50) Touchdowns 24 (old record: 20) the past nine games, Taylor has six of the eight longest passes of his Nebraska career and has completed 33 passes of 20 yards or more, including five of 60 yards or more. Taylor has completed passes to 13 different receivers, and thrown TD passes to 10 different Huskers. Taylor has 433 career pass completions, a Husker record, eclipsing the 353 by Humm. Taylor has totaled 2,746 yards of total offense in 12 games in 2006, just 28 yards shy of the NU single season record of 2,774 set by Jammal Lord in 14 games in 2002. Taylor has 5,358 yards of total offense in his two-year career, just 118 yards short of second place on the Husker career charts. Last season, Taylor shattered several game and season passing records in his first year after transferring from Butler County Community College in Kansas. Among the top accomplishments for Taylor in 2005 were: 4 Taylor's 2,653 passing yards established an NU single-season record, shattering the previous single-season NU record of 2,074 yards by Humm in 1972. Taylor's passing total marked just the fifth time in school history a quarterback had passed for more than 2,000 yards in a single season. He has added the sixth 2,000-yard season in 2006. 4 Taylor posted what were at the time the two highest passing outputs in NU history with 431 yards vs. Iowa State and 392 yards at Colorado. All five individual 300-yard passing days in NU history have come with Bill Callahan as head coach, including three by Taylor. 4 Taylor threw for two or more touchdown passes in eight of the season s final nine games, including a season-high three TD passes against Michigan in the Alamo Bowl. 4 Taylor set numerous other school records, including most pass attempts (55) and completions (36) in a game vs. Iowa State, and most pass attempts (430) and completions (237) in a season. Taylor One of Nation s Best at Protecting the Football Taylor ranks ninth nationally in passing efficiency. The lofty rating is due in large part to Taylor s ability to protect the football, having thrown just four interceptions in 315 pass attempts this season. Taylor has streaks of 104, 84, and 83 passes without an interception in 2006. Taylor is one of three quarterbacks nationally with at least 300 pass attempts and four or fewer interceptions, joining Houston s Kevin Kolb and Syracuse s Perry Patterson.

Nebraska s win over Troy marked only the fourth time in school history Nebraska has had two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver in the same game. Marlon Lucky (156) and Kenny Wilson (106) provided the rushing output, while Terrence Nunn (102) topped the century mark in receiving. The previous three times this has occurred were: 41995 vs. Arizona St.: Clinton Childs (143 rushing), Damon Benning (111 rushing), Clester Johnson (129 receiving) 41985 vs. Kansas: Tom Rathman (159 rushing), Doug DuBose (109 rushing), Von Sheppard (129 receiving) 41983 vs. Minnesota: Mike Rozier (196 rushing), Turner Gill (100 rushing), Irving Fryar (138 receiving) Saturday Night Lights Nebraska s game with Texas on Oct. 21 ended a streak of five straight night games for the 2006 Huskers, the longest in school history. The Oct. 14 win at Kansas State concluded a streak of prime-time games that also included matchups against USC (ABC), Troy (FSN PPV), Kansas (FSN) and Iowa State (ABC). Nebraska s previous record for consecutive night games was four straight to open the 2002 season. The most night games Nebraska has played in a season is six. Nebraska will tie that mark this weekend with its prime-time appearance in the Big 12 Championship Game. Nebraska has made the most of its night appearances at Memorial Stadium posting a 24-2 all-time record at night in Lincoln. NU s lone setbacks were to a pair of top 10 teams No. 4 Washington in 1991 and seventh-ranked Texas in 2002. The Huskers dominance at night has been impressive, as 21 of the 24 home night wins have been by 13 points or more, including a 56-0 shutout of Troy on Sept. 23. NU Renews Homecoming Winning Tradition Nebraska s 34-20 victory over Missouri resumed Nebraska s Homecoming success. The Huskers have won 37 of their last 38 Homecoming games, dropping only a 34-31 decision to Texas Tech last season. The Huskers are 72-20-4 all-time on Homecoming and have won 17 of their last 21 Homecoming contests by 17 points or more. Nebraska is 12-5-1 all-time against Missouri on Homecoming. Jackson is Chairman of Nebraska Running Back Committee Nebraska junior I-back Brandon Jackson has broken out of Nebraska s I-back pack and in the process emerged as a candidate for All-Big 12 honors. Jackson finished the regular season ranked second in the league in rushing at 73.4 yards per game. In Big 12 games only, Jackson is third with an average of 94.4 yards per game. Jackson s impressive league stats include the Kansas game when he had just four carries for 28 yards. Since moving into the starting lineup against Iowa State, Jackson is averaging 103.9 yards per game and 5.2 yards per carry, while scoring seven touchdowns, including five by rush and two receiving scores. Jackson capped the regular season with a career-high 34 carries for 142 yards and a touchdown in the win over Colorado. He also caught a career-high six passes for 42 yards and his 41 all-purpose attempts (190 yards) set a Nebraska single-game record. Against Missouri, Jackson carried the ball 32 times for 111 yards and a touchdown and added 61 receiving yards for 172 all-purpose yards. In conference games, Jackson ranks third in all-purpose yards per game, averaging 136.4 yards per game. A week prior to his effort in the 34-20 win over Missouri, Jackson had a strong performance at Oklahoma State, running 21 times for a career-high 182 yards and two touchdowns. Jackson had four carries of 20 yards or more in the contest, and also caught three passes out of the backfield. Jackson finished the month of October with 66 carries for 430 yards, an average of 6.5 yards per carry. He posted his first two 100-yard rushing games with 116 yards on 22 carries at Iowa State and the 182 yards at Oklahoma State. Jackson also rushed for 92 yards at Kansas State and had 162 all-purpose yards against Texas, including a 49-yard touchdown reception. The 182 yards by Jackson at Oklahoma State were the most by a Husker since Cory Ross ran for 194 yards against Missouri in 2004, a span of 24 games. Jackson pushed his career rushing total past 1,000 yards at Oklahoma State, becoming the 55th Husker to eclipse 1,000 career rushing yards. He currently has 1,323 career yards, 39th on NU s career chart. Jackson has totaled a team-high 881 on 168 carries with seven rushing touchdowns. Jackson needs 119 yards in Nebraska s final two games to record the 28th, 1,000-yard rushing season in school history. Jackson also has 26 receptions for 291 yards and two touchdowns out of the backfield. Jackson had a standout freshman year in 2004 when he rushed for 390 yards, but was slowed by injury last season, and carried the football just 18 times. Husker I-Back Committee Continuing to Distribute the Football Entering the 2006 season both Head Coach Bill Callahan and running backs coach Randy Jordan regularly indicated Nebraska would utilize the talents of all four of its I-backs and operate with use of a committee. Although Brandon Jackson has received the majority of the carries in recent weeks, all of the backs continue to produce in the Husker offense. The results have been outstanding as four Husker I-backs have combined for 429 carries for 2,228 yards and 25 rushing touchdowns. All four backs have gotten into the act, with each of them having between 71 and 168 carries, and each of the backs has topped 100 yards in a game, and has at least four rushing touchdowns. Together the group has keyed a resurgent Nebraska rushing attack. Nebraska opened the year with 252 yards on the ground against Louisiana Tech, then churned out 261 rushing yards in a 56-7 rout of Nicholls State. The Huskers erupted for their top rushing output of the year with 316 yards and six rushing touchdowns in a 56-0 win over Troy, then controlled the football with a 251-yard rushing effort at Iowa State, NU s highest road rushing total in three seasons. Nebraska is averaging 183.2 yards per game on the ground to rank 18th in the nation and fourth in the Big 12 Conference. The four 250-yard-plus rushing efforts are all among the top seven in Bill Callahan s three seasons. In 2005, Nebraska averaged less than 100 yards on the ground, and its top rushing effort was 182 yards at Baylor.Nebraska has produced eight rushing efforts of more than 182 yards in 2006. Additionally, Nebraska has 26 rushing touchdowns in 2006. A year ago, Nebraska rushed for 10 touchdowns. In addition to Jackson, three other backs have played a large role in Nebraska s ground game. Sophomore Marlon Lucky, a native of North Hollywood, Calif., started the first five games and has 640 rushing yards on 116 carries. Lucky produced his first career 100-yard rushing game against Nicholls State with 18 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown, then had a career-best 156 yards on just 10 carries against Troy. Lucky had three touchdown runs of at least 34 yards against the Trojans, and earned Big 12 Offensive Player-of-the-Week honors. The 15.6 yards per-carry average was the best for a Husker with at least 10 carries in a game since Damon Benning registered 173 yards on 10 carries against Pacific in 1995. Lucky added his fourth TD run of longer than 34 yards with a 40-yard scamper at Kansas State, and has six rushing touchdowns. Lucky also has 24 catches for 272 yards out of the backfield, and had at least one catch in the first 11 games, including a career-high four against Missouri and Texas A&M. He had 46 yards receiving against Missouri and a career-high 56 against Texas A&M, including a career-long 42-yard reception. Lucky had 136 all-purpose yards in the win over the Aggies, and has 1,025 all-purpose yards this season. Sophomore Cody Glenn is Nebraska s power back, but showed his complete ability against Iowa State. The 6-0, 230-pound Glenn set career highs with 19 carries for 148 yards and two touchdowns against the Cyclones, including the three longest runs of his career. Glenn s previous career rushing high was a team-high 88 yards in the opener against Louisiana Tech. Page 10

Game 13 Big 12 Championship Four Backs Making Push for 500-Yard Club Brandon Jackson s emergence has lessened the chance of four backs reaching the 500-yard mark, however that does remain a possibility. All four of the Nebraska backs are within 163 yards of cracking the 500-yard barrier. Brandon Jackson (881) and Marlon Lucky (640) have already topped the 500-yard mark. Nebraska has long been one of college football s dominant rushing teams, winning 15 NCAA team rushing titles. Despite that rushing prowess, the Huskers have had just one season in their history with four backs topping the 500-yard barrier. In 1979 four Huskers had between 544 and 1,110 yards, including... Junior I-back Jarvis Redwine (1,100 yards), senior I- back I.M. Hipp (585 yards), junior fullback Andra Franklin (583 yards) and junior I-back Craig Johnson (544 yards). Behind their combined rushing efforts, Nebraska ranked third nationally averaging 345.1 yards per game. In 1982, Nebraska nearly duplicated the feat with four players rushing for 497 yards or more, including I-backs Mike Rozier, Roger Craig and Jeff Smith and quarterback Turner Gill.

Glenn has two touchdowns each against Nicholls State, Iowa State and Texas A&M and scored the game-winning TD in overtime against Kansas. He has 71 carries for 340 yards. Junior Kenny Wilson joined the Huskers as a highly touted junior college prospect. Wilson has 74 carries for 337 yards and four touchdowns. He had his first career 100-yard game with 106 yards on 19 carries against Troy. In Nebraska s win at Iowa State, Glenn and Jackson produced Nebraska s second double 100-yard effort in three weeks. The 100-yard rushing efforts marked the first time a Nebraska running back had topped the century mark in a Big 12 game since Cory Ross at Oklahoma in 2004. It was the first time since the 2003 contest at Missouri that Nebraska had a pair of 100-yard rushers in the same conference game. Previously, both Lucky (156) and Wilson (106) topped the century mark against Troy, marking the first time Nebraska has had two 100-yard rushers in the same game since 2004 against Western Illinois, the first game of Bill Callahan s tenure at Nebraska. Purify Emerging as a Game-Changing Receiver Junior Maurice Purify arrived at Nebraska with all the physical tools to be a go-to-receiver for the Huskers. The 6-4, 210-pounder has become just that during conference play, ranking among the Big 12 s most dangerous receiving options. Purify has established himself as a candidate for all-league honors with a strong performance during conference play. The Eureka, Calif., native has 30 receptions for a team-high 584 yards (19.5 ypr) this season, and leads the team with seven touchdown receptions. Purify has stepped up his play since the start of Big 12 action, totaling 25 catches for 450 yards, including a career-high six catches at Oklahoma State and four-reception efforts against Kansas and Kansas State. Purify registered his most memorable catch of the season at Texas A&M, snaring a nine-yard touchdown pass with 21 seconds remaining to give the Huskers a 28-27 victory. The touchdown catch was his sixth in Big 12 Conference play. He has caught at least one touchdown pass in four of the past five games. After a TD catch against Nicholls State, Purify had a 27-yard touchdown reception with three seconds left in the first half at Iowa State, giving NU a 21-7 edge. He added his second TD in conference play on a career-long 63-yard TD catch against Texas, then added TD catches of 22 and 5 yards in Nebraska s loss at Oklahoma State. He nabbed his sixth touchdown of the season on a leaping seven-yard grab in the second quarter against Missouri, before his catch at A&M. Purify has 13 receptions of 20 yards or longer, including four touchdown grabs. Purify has picked up a first down or touchdown on 26 of his 30 receptions in 2006. Also a basketball standout at San Francisco City College, Purify showed his all-around skills against Missouri. In the first quarter, Purify lofted a perfect 28-yard touchdown pass to Terrence Nunn in the back of the end zone on a reverse pass, giving NU a 10-0 lead. In Big 12 games only, Purify s six touchdown receptions are fifth in the conference. Purify s seven touchdown receptions are tied for fifth on the NU single-season charts. Veteran Receiving Tandem Posting Another Strong Season In addition to Purify, quarterback Zac Taylor s favorite wideout targets are Terrence Nunn and Nate Swift a pair of receivers who made a mark in the Nebraska record book in 2005. A year ago, the duo combined for 88 receptions, 1,136 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. In the process, both Nunn and Swift finished in the top five on Nebraska's single-season receptions list. This season Nunn leads Nebraska with 37 receptions for 552 yards and three touchdowns, while Swift has 18 catches for 312 yards. Both players are quickly moving up the career pass receptions list. Nunn had four catches against Colorado to push his career total to 96 receptions, second on the all-time NU list, three ahead of Matt Davison. Swift, only a sophomore, moved into the top 20 on the list recently and his 63 career catches are tied for 13th on the career list. Nunn s top two yardage outputs were 102 yards on four catches against Troy and 98 yards on three catches, including a career-long 75-yard touchdown, against Kansas. He has added touchdowns against Missouri and Colorado, and has 1,265 career receiving yards, good for third on the NU charts. Maurice Purify Game-by-Game Game Rec. Yds. Avg. TD Long La.

The victory improved Nebraska to 5-0 all-time in overtime contests, and continued remarkable success for the Huskers in extra sessions. Nebraska and Michigan are the only teams with at least five overtime victories to have perfect records in extra play. Michigan is also 5-0. In addition to wins over Iowa State and Kansas the past two seasons, Nebraska also defeated Missouri (1997), Colorado (1999) and Notre Dame (2000) on the road in overtime. Nebraska has scored touchdowns on all six of its overtime possessions, while allowing just one touchdown in overtime play (ISU last season in first overtime). In 2005, Swift and Nunn were the most productive single-season pass catching duo in Nebraska history. Swift did not catch a pass in the first three games of 2005, but exploded at the start of conference play. He had five receptions against Iowa State, then had consecutive nine-reception efforts against Missouri and Oklahoma. He finished the year with 45 receptions for 641 yards and seven touchdowns, all Husker freshman records. His 45 catches were the most by a player in 33 seasons and the third-most ever by a Husker. Swift had caught at least two passes in 10 straight games before being held without catches by Nicholls State and USC. Nunn caught at least one pass in all 12 games of his sophomore season in 2005, including nine games with three or more receptions. Entering the Big 12 Championship game he has caught at least one pass in 25 straight games, the second-longest streak in Nebraska history. The last time Nunn did not have a reception was during his freshman season at Oklahoma. Like Swift, Nunn also caught seven touchdown passes from Taylor in 2005, including a pair of TD receptions in the Alamo Bowl. Overall, Nunn had 43 catches to tie for fourth on the NU single-season receptions list with former teammate Cory Ross. The 2005 season marked the first time in school history Nebraska had three players with 40 or more catches in a single season. Effective Tight End Corps Gives Passing Game Another Dimension Senior tight end Matt Herian has made a healthy return to the field in 2006. The 6-5, 245-pound Herian missed all of 2005 while recovering from a broken leg he suffered in the eighth game of 2004. Herian has caught 12 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. Against Louisiana Tech, Herian moved past Tracey Wistrom into first on the tight end career receiving yardage list. Herian enters the Oklahoma game with 1,243 career receiving yards, good for fourth on NU s all-time yardage chart. He had four receptions against Nicholls State, and his two catches at Iowa State moved him past Jerry List s 61 catches from 1968 to 1970. Herian s receptions total of 65 is tied for 11th-best among all Huskers, and just one catch from the top 10. Herian is the leader of a group of four tight ends who have made their presence felt in 2006. Following Herian s first-quarter touchdown catch in the opener against Louisiana Tech, three of his tight end teammates got into the act in the second half as juniors J.B. Phillips and Josh Mueller, and sophomore Hunter Teafatiller all reached the end zone. The tight end outburst was quite notable... The four touchdowns against Louisiana Tech tied a Nebraska single-game record for touchdowns by a tight end (also 4 at Missouri in 1987). The game marked the first time in school history four different tight ends caught touchdown passes. Nebraska tight ends did not have a TD catch in 2005. The previous touchdown catch by a Husker tight end was by Herian in the second game of the 2004 season against Southern Miss. The four tight ends combined for eight receptions for 108 yards and four touchdowns in the opener and have 33 catches for 315 yards and nine touchdowns in 2006. At Kansas State, Teafatiller (17 yards) and Mueller (3 yards) each had a touchdown grab, giving each of NU s four tight ends two touchdown catches this season. Teafatiller added his third touchdown of the season against Missouri, a 17-yarder in the second quarter. Teafatiller has scored a touchdown on three of his four career receptions. Senior Bookends Carriker, Moore Leading 2006 Blackshirt Defense Nebraska led the nation in sacks and tackles for loss in 2005, registering 50 sacks and 140 tackles for loss. That effort helped the Huskers finish in the top 30 nationally in total defense, rushing defense, scoring defense and pass efficiency defense. The leaders of Nebraska s sack attack are dominant senior defensive ends Adam Carriker and Jay Moore, who set the tone for 2006 by each recording first-quarter sacks against Louisiana Tech. The 6-6, 295-pound Carriker, a pre-season All-American and Lombardi candidate, snuffed out the Bulldogs first drive of the game with a seven-yard sack on third down. Carriker has played his best football of the season in recent weeks, beginning with a strong performance at Oklahoma State. Carriker has five sacks in the past four games and leads Nebraska with six sacks this season and 15 tackles for loss. Carriker dominated the first half at Oklahoma State. He finished the game with six tackles, three tackles for loss (16 yards), a pair of sacks for 10 yards, a pass breakup, a blocked extra point and a quarterback hurry.

The recent surge in sacks gives Carriker 19.5 sacks, sixth on the NU career list. A year ago, Carriker earned All-Big 12 honors in 2005 when he led the team with 9.5 sacks from his base end position. Carriker is among the leaders of a balanced Nebraska defense with 48 total tackles, the most among Husker defensive linemen. His 15 tackles for loss lead the team and his career tackles for loss total of 40 ranks fifth in school history. Carriker leads the 2006 Huskers with 12 quarterback hurries and had his first career interception against Missouri. A native of Elkhorn, Neb., Moore lines up opposite Carriker at the open end spot. The 6-4, 280-pound Moore made a two-yard tackle for loss on Louisiana Tech s first play of the opener, then added a 10-yard sack later in the first quarter to thwart another Bulldog drive. He added his second sack of the season against Troy, and added sacks against Kansas State (13 yards) and Texas (four yards). He also made a key sack on a Kansas two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter of NU s 39-32 overtime win. Moore has 36 total tackles, four sacks for 33 yards in losses, and 14 tackles for loss, totaling 56 yards. He had three tackles for loss in NU s win over Missouri. In addition to Moore and Carriker, Nebraska has other sack threats. Senior senior nose tackle Ola Dagunduro has 3.5 sacks to rank third on the team along with redshirt freshman defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh who also 3.5 sacks for 37 yards. Dagunduro, Suh and senior defensive tackle Barry Cryer are tied for third on the team with eight tackles for loss. Veteran Linebacking Corps Tackling Opponents In addition to a strong front four anchored by Moore and Carriker, Nebraska has a talented and veteran group of linebackers, giving the Blackshirts one of the Big 12 s best front seven units. The Huskers featured returning starters at all three linebacker spots for 2006 senior Sam linebacker Stewart Bradley, junior Mike linebacker Corey McKeon and junior Will linebacker Bo Ruud. The trio had 99, 98 and 97 career tackles, respectively, entering 2006, and have started a combined 72 games in their career. The three players are continuing to rack up impressive tackle numbers in 2006, ranking as three of Nebraska s top five tacklers. Bradley posted his third career double-figure tackle game with a team-high 10 stops at Kansas State, matching his total at USC four weeks earlier. Bradley has forced a pair of fumbles (USC, Texas) and has a team-leading three fumble recoveries (2 vs. Nicholls State, Oklahoma State). The 6-4, 250-pound Bradley leads the team with 67 tackles, including five tackles for loss. McKeon burst onto the scene last year with a team-leading 98 tackles, including 22 tackles for loss, the second-most in Nebraska history. After opening with a pair of four-tackle efforts, McKeon had nine tackles each against USC and Kansas and is fifth on the team with 55 tackles, while also forcing and recovering a fumble. McKeon has been slowed by an ankle injury in recent weeks and missed the Missouri game, but returned to the starting lineup against Texas A&M. Ruud had a season-high nine tackles at USC and Iowa State and added eight stops against Texas. He ranks fourth on the team with 60 tackles, including seven tackles for loss and sacks against Missouri and Texas. Ruud had one of the best games of his career against Missouri, leading the team with seven tackles, including a 13-yard sack. He also intercepted his second pass of the season (third career) and forced and recovered a fumble. He has now forced a teamhigh three fumbles this season. Ruud s performance against Missouri earned him Big 12 Player-of-the-Week honors for the second time in his career (2005 vs. Maine). Bradley broke into the top 50 on Nebraska s career tackles list at Oklahoma State, and Ruud made the list against Missouri, and McKeon cracked the chart against Colorado. Juniors Steve Octavien and Lance Brandenburgh give Nebraska five linebackers with significant game experience. Octavien missed four straight games before returning against Texas, and he responded with a career-high 10 tackles, including two tackles for loss. Brandenburgh has 38 tackles this season, and started in place of the injured McKeon against Missouri. NU Backers Game-by-Game Stewart Bradley Game UT AT TT Sacks TFL La.

Game 13 Big 12 Championship Todd Named to AFCA Good Works Team; Finalist for Wuerffel Trophy Nebraska senior fullback Dane Todd was one of just 11 Division I-A players named on Sept. 13 to the 2006 American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team. Todd is the nation-leading 11th Husker to receive the honor since the team's inception in 1992. Todd has volunteered his time with American Education Week, "School is Cool" Week, the Dads of Kids with Disabilities, the UNL Shadowing Program, Safe Quarters Friendship Home Fund Drive, Husker Haunted Hoops, Breakfast of Champions, Nebraska Dance Marathon for Children s Miracle Network, and the Relay for Life and Healthy Kids Day. The two 11-man teams, a Division I-A team and a combined team from Divisions I-AA, II, III and the NAIA, honor players for their dedication and commitment to community service. Nominations are submitted to the AFCA by the college sports information departments. A graduate student who completed his undergraduate work with a 4.0 grade-point average, Todd was also recently nominated for a National Football Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship. Todd has also been named as one of 11 finalists for the 2006 Wuerffel Trophy. The award is named after former Florida Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel and is presented to the player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement. This marks the second straight year that Todd has been named a finalist for the award. The winner will be announced in early December. NU Extends Run of Success in Season Openers Nebraska extended the nation s longest winning streak in season openers with its 49-10 victory over Louisiana Tech on Sept. 2. The Huskers have now been on the winning end in each of their last 21 season openers, dating back to a 17-13 loss to Florida State in 1985. Louisiana Tech is the second team (also Utah State) to twice be a victim in Nebraska s season-opening win streak. Nebraska also defeated the Bulldogs in the 1998 opener. This year marked one of 14 times in the past 21 years Nebraska has scored 40 or more points in a season opener. In that same period, the Huskers have limited the opposition to 14 points or less 14 times. The Huskers 21-game win streak in season openers is four better than the 17 straight season-opening wins by both Kansas State and Florida. The Huskers have won each of their last 21 season openers by 10 or more points, and own an 86-26-5 all-time record in season openers. Since 1973, NU is 29-4-1 in season openers, including 24-2 at Memorial Stadium, with losses only to Florida State (1985) and Washington State (1977). In all-time home openers NU is 95-17-5, including 67-14-3 at Memorial Stadium. The Huskers are 31-2 in their last 33 home openers. Nebraska Looks to Add to All-America Tradition in 2006 In addition to pacing all Division I schools in academic All- Americans, Nebraska owns a long tradition of being among the nation s leaders in All-Americans on the field. Nebraska s most recent first-team All-Americans came in 2003, when punter Kyle Larson and free safety Josh Bullocks were each picked as first-team All-Americans. Larson and Bullocks added to Nebraska s long list of All-Americans, beginning with tackle Vic Halligan in 1914. The Huskers have had at least one first-team All-American in all but four (1991, 1998, 2004, 2005) of the past 36 years. Overall, Nebraska has seen 92 different players earn first-team All-America honors from at least one recognized source with 14 winning double honors for a total of 106 firstteam awards. Nebraska had its most All-Americans in one season when six Huskers earned first-team honors in the 1971 national championship campaign. The offensive line is Nebraska s most honored position, with 26 players earning 31 first-team All-America certificates. Callahan's Huskers Continue to Perform in Classroom Nebraska has continued its tradition of excellence in the classroom under Head Coach Bill Callahan. In 2005, Kurt Mann and Dane Todd were the latest Huskers to earn CoSIDA first-team academic All-America honors. Mann, a two-year starter at center, carried a 3.97 grade-point average in mechanized systems management before graduating in May. A native of Lincoln, Todd graduated with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average in biological sciences. Mann and Todd were two of just nine juniors on the first-team academic All-America list, and Nebraska was one of only three schools with a pair of first-team selections. Earlier this month, Todd was named Academic All-District VII and is in position to be become the 13th Husker to earn two first-team academic All-America selections, most recently defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch in 1999 and 2000. Last year s selection of Mann and Todd gave the Husker football program 85 all-time academic All-Americans, a nation-leading total. The Husker athletic program as a whole also leads the nation with 233 academic All-America selections across all teams and all sports. 4 Huskers Lead Big 12 in First-Team Academic All-Conference Selections A conference-leading 15 Nebraska football players were named first-team Academic All-Big 12, the league office announced last week. Overall, 22 Huskers received either first- or second-team recognition by the Big 12. Leading the way for Nebraska was senior fullback Dane Todd, who was one of two players honored for having a cumulative 4.0 grade-point average. Todd is a strong candidate to be named an Academic All-American for the second consecutive year later this month. Todd is one of five Huskers who were named first-team Academic All-Big 12 for the third time in their careers. Also named to the first team for the third time were senior center Kurt Mann, senior free safety Brandon Rigoni, senior free safety Andrew Shanle and junior tight end J.B. Phillips. Making their second career appearance on the academic squad were junior linebacker Lance Brandenburgh and sophomore wide receiver Todd Peterson. 4 Todd Leads Four Huskers Receiving Academic All-District Honors Todd was named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District VII first team on Thursday, Nov. 9, placing him on the ballot for Academic All-America honors. Voting for Academic All-America will occur at the end of November with the team announced in early December. Three other Huskers were named to the second-team Academic All-District VII team. Thosse players included junior tight end J.B. Phillips (3.73 GPA, marketing), who was selected to the second-team all-district team for the second straight year, sophomore offensive guard Andy Christensen (3.56 GPA, construction management) and senior safety Brandon Rigoni (3.79 GPA, psychology). 4 Four Husker Seniors Playing 2006 Season as Graduate Students Kurt Mann and Dane Todd are among a group of four Husker seniors who are playing the 2006 season as graduate students. Senior safety Andrew Shanle and senior cornerback Isaiah Fluellen also picked up their degrees during UNL s spring commencement ceremonies, completing their undergraduate work in four years. The four players will have a lot of company by the time bowl season rolls around. Among Nebraska s 18-member senior class, 12 players are scheduled to earn their degrees by the conclusion of the fall semester. In addition, junior tight end J.B. Phillips will complete his degree work in December, picking up his degree in 3 1/2 years. 4 Nebraska Continues to Lead Big 12 in Exhausted Eligibility Graduation Rate The University of Nebraska is the Big 12 leader in exhausted eligibility graduation rates for the fourth consecutive year. Nebraska boasts an impressive 94 percent rate, a percentage point higher than last year s mark of 93 percent. The exhausted eligibility rate surveys the graduation rate of scholarship student-athletes in 10 incoming freshman classes who complete their eligibility at the University. Nebraska s exhausted eligibility rate has increased from 87 to 94 percent in the past six years and has improved 22 percentage points since the inception of the rate in 1991-92. The current exhausted eligibility rate includes members of incoming classes from 1990-91 through 1999-2000. During that time, 424 of 453 Nebraska scholarship student-athletes who completed their eligibility earned their undergraduate degree. Nebraska s 94 percent rate is three points higher than Baylor, which was second in the conference at 91 percent. The national average for exhausted eligibility is 85 percent for Division I schools. 4 Nebraska Leads Big 12 Conference in 2006 Graduation Success Rate Report Nebraska topped the Big 12 and ranked among the national leaders in the Graduation Success Rate for football as released by the NCAA in late September. Nebraska s 88 percent GSR was tops in the Big 12 Conference and well ahead of the national average of 65 percent. Among teams ranked in the Associated Press Poll the week of Sept. 24, Nebraska s GSR score was second only to Notre Dame, and the Huskers were one of just three programs with a GSR better than 80 percent. The Graduation Success Rate is an NCAA measurement that improves the federally mandated graduation rates by including transfer data in the calculation. This year s GSR scores were figured based on four classes of scholarship student-athletes who entered college from the fall of 1996 to the fall of 1999, and allowed for a six-year window in which to earn their degree. The GSR scores include student-athletes who transferred to Nebraska, but do not count student-athletes who transferred to another school and were academically eligible at the time of their transfer.

Game 13 Big 12 Championship Heisman Winner Rozier Part of 2006 College Football Hall of Fame Class Former Husker great Mike Rozier is one of 13 members of the 2006 College Football Hall of Fame Division I-A class. The 1983 Heisman Trophy winner Rozier holds Nebraska records for season rushing yards (2,148) and career rushing yards (4,780). Rozier will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Dec. 5 at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. Rozier will become the 13th Husker player to be inducted into the Hall and the first since Johnny Rodgers in 2000. In addition to 13 players, Nebraska also has six former head coaches who are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Rozier was honored in Lincoln at halftime of the Texas game. Joining the Memorial Stadium record crowd to pay tribute to Rozier were fellow Husker Hall of Fame members Forrest Behm, Rich Glover, Johnny Rodgers and Tom Osborne.

While the Huskers were awarded the national title by the coaches in 1997, NU finished second to Michigan in the AP poll. In 1970, Nebraska was awarded the AP national title, but not the coaches (Texas was first, Ohio State second and NU third) as the final poll was released before the bowl games were played. In the coaches poll (since 1950), Nebraska is tied for fourth with Miami and Texas with four titles, behind Alabama and Oklahoma with six apiece, and USC with five. 4 Huskers Pace Big 12 Conference in Academic Awards Nebraska had a Big-12 leading 22 players named to the first-team academic All-Big 12 team last fall. Fifteen Huskers were named to the first team, while another seven players earned second-team honors. During the fall 2005 semester, Nebraska placed 31 players on the Big 12 Commissioner's Fall Academic Honor Roll, including six student-athletes who had perfect 4.0 grade-point averages for the semester. During the spring, 38 Huskers were named to the honor roll, with six players recording 4.0 GPAs for the spring semester. The honor roll recognizes all student-athletes who earned a 3.0 grade-point average or better in the previous semester. 4 Nebraska Honored by AFCA for Football Graduation Rate The Husker football program was one of 29 schools from across the nation honored this spring by the American Football Coaches Association with the 2006 Academic Achievement Award. The 29 schools that were honored achieved a graduation rate of 70 percent or better for the 2000-01 incoming freshman class. This year marked the sixth straight year Nebraska has received the honor and the 10th time since 1994 Nebraska has been recognized. Nebraska the Newest Member of 800-Win Club Nebraska joined Michigan (860), Notre Dame (821) and Texas (809) in the 800-win club with its Oct. 14 victory at Kansas State. The Oct. 21 matchup between Nebraska and Texas marked just the third-ever meeting in college football between teams with 800 wins at game time. Michigan and Notre Dame s meetings in 2005 and 2006 both featured programs with more than 800 victories. Nebraska is in its 117th season of college football in 2006, and is the fourth-winningest program in terms of victories. The Huskers own an 803-324-40 all-time record in 1,167 games (.705) in 117 years of football. 4Since the first season of Nebraska football in 1890, Husker teams have won 11 or more games 12 times, including seven times since 1993. 4Nebraska has won 12 or more games seven times, including three seasons with 13 wins (1971, 1994, 1997). 4Nebraska (702), Michigan (705), Alabama (728) and Notre Dame (736) were the only programs to win 700 games in the 1900s. Nebraska College Football s Winningest Program Since 1970 The bulk of Nebraska s football success has come since 1962 when Bob Devaney arrived from Wyoming and resurrected the Husker program. Devaney capped his career with consecutive national titles in 1970 and 1971, starting an unbelievable run of 10-plus victory seasons, and conference and national championships. In the past 37 seasons (including 2006), beginning with 1970, Nebraska has posted a remarkable 369 victories, an average of 10 wins per season. The Huskers overall record in that time period is 369-83-5 for an.813 winning percentage in 457 games. In that time span, Nebraska has easily established itself as the nation s winningest program, posting 27 more victories than second-place Michigan, followed by Ohio State (334), Oklahoma (332), and Penn State (327). 4Nebraska has won 10 games or more 24 times since 1962, including 21 times since 1970.

Penn State 327 4The Huskers have finished the regular season undefeated and untied seven times since 1965, and played in 13 national title games (for one of the two teams) and won the national title five times since 1970. 4Nebraska was the first team in college football history to win 100 or more games in consecutive decades, ranking first in the 1980s (103-20,.837) and second in the 1990s (108-16-1,.868). Nebraska narrowly missed 100 victories in the 1970s with 98 wins, and posted a nation-leading 309 wins from 1970 to 1999. Huskers 2006 Schedule Includes 2005 Title Game Participants Nebraska has faced a challenging schedule in 2006, with Oklahoma the ninth bowl-eligible team the Huskers will face. In the non-conference the Huskers faced their first ranked opponent of the season, squaring off against No. 4 USC on the road. On Oct. 21, Nebraska faced off with fifth-ranked Texas at Memorial Stadium, the first top-five foe to visit Memorial Stadium since No. 2 Oklahoma in 2001. This season marked the first time Nebraska has faced a pair of top-five teams in the same season since 2001, when NU played the second-ranked Sooners and No. 1 Miami in the Rose Bowl. Nebraska is the the only team in the nation that faced both of last year s national championship game participants. The Trojans and Longhorns are two of seven 2006 Husker opponents that won seven or more games last season and one of six 2005 bowl teams on Nebraska s schedule. Among Nebraska 2006 opponents USC, Troy, Kansas, Kansas State, Texas, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma are bowl eligible. Page 15

Game 13 Big 12 Championship Huskers Set for 44th Bowl Appearance in 2006 Nebraska returned to the postseason in 2005, and made the most of its 43rd all-time bowl appearance with a 32-28 victory over Michigan in the Alamo Bowl. The Alamo Bowl was Nebraska s 36th bowl appearance in the past 37 seasons, and came after the Huskers streak of 35 straight bowl appearances ended in 2004. Nebraska s 43 all-time bowl appearances rank fifth nationally, trailing Alabama, Texas, Tennessee and USC. The Huskers pushed their all-time bowl record over the.500 mark at 22-21 following the win over Michigan. Nebraska has won eight of its past 11 bowl games dating back to the 1994 season.this season will mark Nebraska s 44th all-time bowl appearance. All-Time Bowl Appearances School Bowls 1. Alabama 53 2. Tennessee 45 Texas 45 4. USC 44 5. Nebraska 43 NU Continues Success in League Openers The Huskers league-opening win over Kansas continued a tradition of opening conference play on a positive note. The Huskers have won 31 of their past 32 conference openers since 1975, with the only blemish a 2002 loss at Iowa State. The win was also Nebraska s 29th straight victory in home conference openers. Nebraska is now 91-18-2 all-time in conference openers, including a 41-6-1 mark in Lincoln. Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference, Nebraska is 10-1 in league openers. Nebraska s win at Iowa State was the Huskers second straight win in a Big 12 road opener, following a victory at Baylor last season. Huskers' Top 10 Home Crowds No. Attend.

After being housed in the South Stadium for more than three decades, the Huskers moved into the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex before the start of training camp in early August. Among the features in the new facility are... 4 The Charles and Romona Myers Performance Center...Located on the first floor of the Osborne Complex, the Myers Performance Center includes a state-of-the art athletic medicine facility, a spacious and sparkling new strength complex and a new locker room and equipment room for the Huskers. 4 New football offices...the Nebraska football offices are housed on the second floor of the Osborne Complex and provide the Husker staff and players with the needed tools to prepare at a championship level. The change in location led to a significant change in Nebraska s pre-game routine. The Huskers famous Tunnel Walk now concludes with the team entering the field from the Northwest Corner of Tom Osborne Field. After a path of red FieldTurf leads the Huskers to the field, Nebraska enters after large bronze gates are opened. The gates feature images of six of the greatest Huskers from the 1890s to the 1960s, and are guarded each week by two military members. The football program benefitted in numerous ways from the project, and Nebraska fans also have several new features available. 4 New HuskerVision screens... Memorial Stadium features three new HuskerVision screens for the 2006 season. High above the North end of Memorial Stadium is a massive 33 x 117-foot screen. In addition to video, the large HuskerVision screen will feature a scoreboard, statistics and ticker. Two new HuskerVision screens were also placed on the Southeast and Southwest towers allowing fans in the north end of the stadium great viewing angles of the HuskerVision screens. 4 More Husker fans...6,500 seats were added in the North Stadium, in addtion to 13 new sky suites on the seventh floor of the Osborne Athletic Complex and new and improved handicapped seating. Nebraska received more than 15,000 requests for the 6,500 seats in less than three weeks. Nebraska set a Memorial Stadium record with 85,800 fans for the Colorado game. 4 Improved fan amenities...all ticket holders at Memorial Stadium will benefit from a new large concourse in the North Stadium. The concourse now connects the East, West and North stadiums. New gates were also added on the North end, aiding in entering and exiting Memorial Stadium. Bigger Memorial Stadium Continues to Be Packed Nebraska s game against Colorado was the 282nd consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium, an ongoing NCAA record. The sellout streak dates back to a Nov. 3, 1962, game against Missouri in Bob Devaney s first season as Nebraska head coach. Nebraska s 282 consecutive sellouts easily outdistance Notre Dame, which ranks second nationally with 191 consecutive sellouts. Nebraska has had remarkable success during the sellout streak, posting a 248-34 record during the 282 sellouts. The mark includes a 39-21 record against ranked teams. Nebraska is 5-0 in the five milestone sellouts during that period (50th, 100th, 150th, 200th and 250th sellouts), including a 24-7 win over No. 2 Colorado on Oct. 29, 1994 (No. 200) and a 44-13 victory over Utah State on Sept. 7, 2002 (No. 250). Although sellouts have become commonplace in Lincoln, there are a few more folks dressed in red packing Memorial Stadium this season. Capacity at Memorial Stadium is 81,067, with the addition of 6,500 new seats in the North Stadium. The Colorado game featured a stadium record crowd of 85,800, the fifth-largest crowd to see Nebraska play. (see left margin) Nebraska had played before 10 crowds of more than 82,000 fans in school history entering the 2006 season, but has played in front of nine crowds of 82,000 or more in 2006. The crowd of 92,000 at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sept. 16 was the second-largest crowd Nebraska has played in front of in the regular season. Nebraska Owns Dominant Edge at Memorial Stadium Nebraska has rewarded the loyality of its fans with incredible success at Memorial Stadium through the years. Nebraska finished 6-1 at home in 2006, and has won at least six home games in 18 of the past 20 seasons. Nebraska is 116-11 at home in the last 18 seasons (since 1989), including a pair of losses against teams that went on to win the national championship Colorado in 1990 and Washington in 1991. Since 1986, only seven schools have left Memorial Stadium with a victory. During Nebraska s run of success at home in the past 25 years, Nebraska has had three home winning streaks of 20 or more games. Nebraska had a school-record 47-game home winning streak from 1991 to 1998, a 26-game home streak from 1998 to 2002 and a 21-game win streak in the early 1980s. Nebraska has not been shut out at home since a 12-0 loss to Kansas State in 1968 (248 games), and has posted 40 unbeaten and untied home seasons. The Huskers are 483-130-20 (.779, 633 games, 117 years) in Lincoln, 358-107-13 (.763, 478 games, 84 years) in Memorial Stadium (since 1923). Page 16

Game 13 Big 12 Championship Huskers in the National Football League Nebraska has a long-standing tradition of placing large numbers of players in the NFL. As of the start of NFL training camps, the Huskers had 41 players listed on rosters. When final rosters were determined, Nebraska had 31 players on active rosters and one player on a practice squad. Nebraska s 31 players on active rosters led the Big 12 Conference, one more than Texas and two more than Oklahoma. Included in the group of players on NFL rosters are four players who were selected in the 2006 NFL Draft safety Daniel Bullocks (2nd round, Detroit), punter Sam Koch (6th, Baltimore), defensive lineman Le Kevin Smith (6th, New England) and defensive lineman Titus Adams (7th, N.Y. Jets), who is on the practice squad. In addition, running back Cory Ross, a nondrafted free agent is on the Ravens opening day roster. Koch s roster spot gives Nebraska two punters and two place-kickers in the NFL, with the combined four kickers the most of any school in the country. Nebraska s most experienced NFL veteran is Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro offensive guard Will Shields, who is in his 14th NFL campaign in 2006. A full listing of Nebraska s players in the NFL is included in the left margin.

Louisiana Tech Nebraska extended the nation s longest winning streak in season openers with its 49-10 victory. The Huskers have now been on the winning end in each of their last 21 season openers, dating back to a 17-13 loss to Florida State in 1985. Louisiana Tech was the second team (also Utah State) to twice be a victim in Nebraska s seasonopening win streak. Nebraska also defeated the Bulldogs in the 1998 opener. The Huskers 21-game win streak in season openers is four better than the 17 straight season-opening wins by both Kansas State and Florida. Nicholls State Nicholls State did not complete a pass, marking the 10th time in school history Nebraska has held an opponent without a pass completion, and the first time since 1992 against Oklahoma State. USC The loss at USC marked the first time under Bill Callahan that Nebraska has lost when scoring first in a game. NU is 11-1 in such games under Callahan. The 28 points scored by USC were the fewest by the Trojans since also scoring 28 points against Oregon State in November of 2004 (19 games). It also ended a streak of 15 straight games with 30 or more points and a streak of 10 straight home games with 38 or more points. Troy Nebraska a shutout was its first since a 28-0 shutout of Iowa State in 2003. NU had two shutouts that season, also blanking Troy 30-0. The 56-0 victory was NU s most lopsided win since a 59-0 win over Baylor in 2000. Nebraska s 406 yards of total offense in the first half was the most in a half under Coach Bill Callahan, and NU s most in the first half of a game since rolling up 416 yards in the first half of a 59-0 2000 win over Baylor. Nebraska limited Troy to 140 yards of offense, the fewest by a Nebraska opponent since allowing just 84 yards against Baylor in 2000. Kansas Nebraska recorded its 31st win in its last 32 conference openers, and its 29th straight win in a conference home opener. Senior safety Andrew Shanle intercepted two passes in the first quarter. Shanle s two interceptions marked the first time a Husker has had two interceptions in a game since Josh Bullocks had two interceptions against Oklahoma State in 2003. Shanle had picked off his first career pass last week against Troy. Kansas 94 plays were the most ever by a Husker opponent, topping the 92 plays that Oklahoma ran against Nebraska in 1948. KU s 405 passing yards also rank sixth all-time against a Husker opponent. Iowa State Cody Glenn (148) and Brandon Jackson (116) each topped 100 yards rushing in the game. The 100-yard rushing games marked the first time a Husker has rushed for 100 yards in a Big 12 game since Cory Ross rushed 30 times for 130 yards at Oklahoma in 2004. It was the first time since the 2003 contest at Missouri that the Huskers have had a pair of 100-yard rushers in the same conference game. Kansas State Nebraska s 3-0 Big 12 start was its first since 2001.The victory ended a four-game Nebraska losing streak against Kansas State in Manhattan, since an NU win in 1996. Nebraska s back-to-back road victories at Iowa State and Kansas State marked the first time Nebraska has won Big 12 road games in consecutive weeks since 2000 wins at ISU and Texas Tech. Nebraska's victory marked the 800th win in the history of the program. The Huskers become the fourth program to win 800 games, joining Michigan (855), Notre Dame (816) and Texas (806). Texas The loss ended a streak of four straight Nebraska victories at Memorial Stadium against top-five opponents. The previous top-five team to win at Memorial Stadium was fourth-ranked Washington in 1991. The Huskies went on to win the national championship that season. NU scored 20 points against Texas, ending a streak of eight straight home games with at least 24 points. The crowd of 85,187 was a Memorial Stadium record, eclipsing the 85,181 fans for the Sept. 2 season opener against Louisiana Tech. Oklahoma State The loss marked the first time Nebraska has lost when leading at halftime in Bill Callahan s three seasons as head coach. Brandon Jackson s 182 yards on the ground were the most by a Husker since Cory Ross posted 194 yards against Missouri on Oct. 30, 2004. Missouri The victory marked Nebraska s 15th straight win over Missouri in Lincoln, dating back to a 35-31 loss to the Tigers in 1978. During the 15-game win streak, Nebraska has won 12 of the games by double digits. Nebraska s win marked its 37th win in its last 38 Homecoming contests, with the only setback a 34-31 loss to Texas Tech in 2005. Nebraska s 27 points in the first half were its most points in a half in a Big 12 game since scoring 31 in the first half against Baylor in 2004. Nebraska scored 24 points in the first half at Missouri last season, but was scoreless in the second half. Texas A&M The win gave the Huskers three Big 12 road victories, their most since also recording three in 2001. Sophomore running back Cody Glenn rushed for two touchdowns, giving him a team-high eight rushing touchdowns this season. Glenn s eight rushing touchdowns are the most in a season by a Husker since quarterback Jammal Lord ran for 10 touchdowns in 2003. Glenn s eight touchdowns mark the most by a Nebraska I-back since Dahrran Diedrick ran for 16 touchdowns in 2001. Page 17

Game 13 Corey McKeon #13 MIKE Linebacker Junior 6-1 225 Naperville, Ill. 2006 Butkus Award Candidate 2006 Preseason First-Team All-Big 12 (Athlon, Lindy s) 2006 Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List 2006 Preseason Second-Team All-Big 12 (Lindy s) Corey McKeon serves as a physical presence for a strong linebacking corps that ranks among the Big 12 s best. One year after bursting onto the scene as the Huskers leading tackler, McKeon earned preseason recognition as an All-Big 12 candidate from several publications, including Athlon and Lindy s. A year ago, McKeon led the Huskers with 98 tackles and set the Huskers single-season position record with 22 tackles for loss. The Naperville, Ill., native was instrumental in a pair of strong Husker defensive efforts in the first two weeks of the season. While NU shut down the run against Louisiana Tech, allowing only 67 yards rushing, the squad denied Nicholls State from completing a pass the following week for the first time against an opponent since Oklahoma State in 1992. McKeon recorded four tackles, including three solo stops and a tackle-for-loss, while also recovering a fumble against the Colonels. He was part of a strong performance by the Husker linebacking corps against USC. NU s starting linebackers combined to make 28 tackles, with McKeon accounting for nine stops. McKeon and the Huskers rebounded from the loss to USC with a dominating performance against Troy featuring NU s first shutout in nearly three years. The 6-1, 225-pound McKeon collected four tackles while the Blackshirts held the Trojans to only 140 yards total offense. McKeon put together one of his best games this season to help Nebraska over Kansas in overtime. He tied a season high and led the Huskers with nine tackles while adding a pass breakup and quarterback hurry. He also forced a key second-quarter fumble to stop a strong Jayhawk drive at the Nebraska 2-yard line. McKeon followed the next week with another strong effort by making six tackles, including his second TFL this season, while helping the Blackshirts limit Iowa State to only 53 yards rushing. NU earned its second straight road victory the following week at Kansas State, as the Huskers gave up only a field goal while allowing an opponent season-low 22 yards rushing. McKeon made his 20th consecutive start and pushed the Huskers to a near-upset of No. 5 Texas despite playing with an injured ankle suffered against Kansas State. While he missed the Missouri game two weeks later, he returned to the field to help Nebraska clinch the Big 12 North title with six stops, including a season-high two TFLs, against Texas A&M. With his health continuing to improve, McKeon recorded a pair of TFLs for the second straight week, including his first sack of the year and a shared TFL for a safety with teammate Adam Carriker, during NU s home win over Colorado. McKeon Game-by-Game in 2006 Louisiana Tech McKeon made four tackles, including two solo stops, as the NU defense limited the Bulldogs to only 67 yards rushing. Nicholls State McKeon made four tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, and recovered a fumble. He helped the Husker defense deny an opponent a pass completion for the first time since Oklahoma State in 1992. USC McKeon made nine tackles, including four solo stops, against the Trojans as NU s starting linebackers combined for 28 tackles. Troy McKeon registered four tackles and his first pass breakup of the season to help NU claim its first shutout in nearly three years. Kansas McKeon led the Huskers with nine tackles and added a pass breakup and quarterback hurry. He also forced a key second-quarter fumble to stop a Kansas drive at the Nebraska 2-yard line. Iowa State McKeon made six stops to help lead a dominating performance by the Blackshirts over ISU. He added one tackle for loss and a quarterback hurry as NU limited the Cyclones to only 53 yards rushing. Kansas State McKeon made one solo stop before leaving in the third quarter with an injured ankle. Texas McKeon made two tackles in his 20th consecutive start despite playing with an injured ankle suffered the week before against Kansas State. Oklahoma State McKeon made four tackles, including three solo stops. Missouri McKeon did not play while continuing to nurse an injured ankle he suffered at KSU. Texas A&M McKeon returned to the field with six stop, including a season-high two tackles for loss. Colorado McKeon registered multiple TFLs for the second straight week, including his first sack of the season and a shared TFL for a safety with teammate Adam Carriker, while making six tackles.

Game 13 Zac Taylor #13 Quarterback Senior 6-2 210 Norman, Okla. 2006 Maxwell Award Watch List 2006 Davey O Brien Award Watch List 2006 Manning Award Watch List 2006 Preseason Second-Team All-Big 12 (Lindy s) Team Captain NU all-time leader in pass attempts (745), completions (433), yardage (5,442) and TDs (43) NU single-season record for passing yardage (2,789) and touchdowns (24) ABC Player of the Game (Texas A&M) Following a successful first season at the helm of Nebraska s West Coast Offense, quarterback Zac Taylor is one of the nation s top signal callers as a senior, ranking ninth nationally and second in the Big 12 Conference in passing efficiency. He is also one of the most successful quarterbacks in NU history, as he owns nearly all of the school s singleseason and career passing records. Taylor has proved this season that he is capable of limiting mistakes with three streaks of more than 80 pass attempts without an interception. He was voted a captain during fall camp by his teammates, along with fellow seniors Adam Carriker and Brandon Rigoni. A native of Norman, Okla., Taylor has reached several milestones in only his second season at Nebraska and moved up in the record books past great Husker names such as Turner Gill, Tommie Frazier, Vince Ferragamo and Dave Humm. He broke long-standing Husker career passing marks for attempts, completions and yardage while directing one of the nation s most potent offenses. Taylor tied former Husker great Tommie Frazier s career touchdown pass record in the regular-season finale against Colorado. He saved his best season for last, as he also has rewrote his own single-season NU record for passing yardage that he previously set as a junior. Taylor Game-by-Game in 2006 Louisiana Tech Taylor completed 22-of-33 passes for 287 yards and tied his career high with three touchdowns, his 10th straight game with a scoring pass. He also moved up three spots to seventh on NU s career passing list. Nicholls State Taylor registered the best game of his career by recording the eighth-best day in Husker history in terms of passing efficiency. He completed 19-of-23 attempts for 202 yards and a career-high four touchdowns with no interceptions. Taylor also became just the seventh Husker to surpass 3,000 yards passing. USC Taylor went 8-of-16 through the air for 115 yards with no interceptions, moving him past Vince Ferragamo into sixth place on Nebraska s all-time passing yardage list (3,257). He also scored Nebraska s lone touchdown on a naked bootleg run on fourth down to cut the USC lead to 21-10 early in the fourth quarter. Troy Taylor completed 14-of-17 passes for 268 yards and a touchdown while leading the Huskers to another efficient performance featuring nearly 600 yards of total offense. He moved past Turner Gill and Tommie Frazier into fourth place on NU s career passing list with 3,525 yards. Kansas Taylor led NU to an overtime win with the No. 2 passing total in school history. He threw for 395 yards and tied a career high with four touchdown passes, three of which surpassed his previous career long by going for 75 yards or more. He hooked up with Frantz Hardy for a long of 78 yards. Taylor s average of 26.33 yards per completion marked a single-game school record. Iowa State Taylor became only the fourth player in Nebraska history to pass for 4,000 career yards while completing 17-of-21 attempts for 131 yards against Iowa State. He threw his lone touchdown pass on a 27-yard connection with Maurice Purify with three seconds remaining in the first half to put NU up 21-7. Kansas State Taylor completed 12-of-21 attempts for 149 yards and a touchdown while leading NU to its fifth straight Big 12 victory. He also notched a career-long 24-yard rush on a naked bootleg that helped set up NU s second touchdown of the game. Texas Taylor set NU s career completions record while moving within four yards of Eric Crouch for third place on the career passing yardage chart. He completed 15-of-28 attempts for 277 yards and two touchdowns to fuel the Huskers near-upset of No. 5 Texas. Oklahoma State Taylor completed 21-of-39 attempts for 241 yards to eclipse 2,000 yards passing for the second straight year. He moved into second place on NU s career passing chart, while moving within two scoring passes of the NU single-season record. Missouri Taylor connected on 13-of-21 attempts for 208 yards and two scores to tie Vince Ferragamo s NU single-season record of 20 touchdown passes. He also moved up to second on the single-season yardage list, trailing his own 2005 school-record total by only 380 yards. Texas A&M Taylor led the Huskers on a game-winning drive with under two minutes left capped by a nine-yard touchdown pass to Maurice Purify that clinched the Big 12 North title. Taylor also broke the Huskers all-time career passing record with 267 yards during the win, as well as the single-season touchdown passes mark with two scores. Colorado Taylor tied Tommie Frazier s NU career record for touchdown passes with a pair of scoring strikes.

Game 13 Adam Carriker #90 Base End Senior 6-6 295 Kennewick, Wash. 2006 Preseason All-American (Playboy, Athlon, Lindy's) 2006 Preseason First-Team All-Big 12 (Athlon, Lindy's) 2006 Preseason Second-Team All-Big 12 (Sporting News) 2006 Lombardi, Nagurski, Bednarik and Lott Trophy Watch Lists No. 5 on NU s career tackles for loss list (40) No. 6 on NU s career sacks list (19.5) Adam Carriker is in the midst of a dominant senior year in 2006 after establishing himself as one of the nation s top defensive ends last season. His unique combination of size, speed, strength and agility allows him to be an effective weapon to apply pressure to the quarterback and stop the run while taking on multiple blockers from his base end position. He leads the Huskers this season with six sacks, 15 tackles for loss and 12 quarterback hurries. Carriker s productive stint at Nebraska has seen him move into the program s career top-10 lists for both sacks and TFLs. He is one of only five players in Husker history with 40 TFLs, while his 19.5 sacks rank sixth and only three shy of former NU great Broderick Thomas. The Kennewick, Wash., native experienced a very strong finish to the regular season, as he notched five of his sacks and more than half (eight) of his TFLs in the final four games. He tied a single-game career-high with two sacks twice during that stretch, against Oklahoma State and Colorado. Carriker Game-by-Game in 2006 Louisiana Tech Carriker notched three tackles, two for loss, one sack and a pair of quarterback hurries. Nicholls State Carriker tied for the team lead with six tackles, including one for a loss, while helping the Husker defense deny an opponent a pass completion for the first time since Oklahoma State in 1992. USC Carriker made two assisted tackles and recorded a pass breakup. Troy Carriker had one tackle for loss among his three stops, while registering a pass breakup and two quarterback hurries. Kansas Carriker notched season bests of eight tackles and three tackles for loss. He added a quarterback hurry. Iowa State Carriker recorded a pair of quarterback hurries in the win over ISU. Kansas State Carriker did not register a tackle during the win over KSU, but he did help the Blackshirts hold the Wildcats to an NU opponent season-low 22 yards rushing. Texas Carriker made five tackles, including a pair of solo stops, during NU s near-upset of the No. 5 Longhorns. Oklahoma State Carriker experienced one of his finest games to date this season, totaling two sacks and three TFLs on six tackles. He moved into a tie for sixth on NU s career sacks list, while jumping into ninth place on the school TFL chart. In addition to his day in the OSU backfield, he also blocked his first career kick on a second-quarter point-after attempt. Missouri Carriker came down with his first career interception after breaking up a pass at the line of scrimmage. He added two solo tackles during the win. Texas A&M Carriker made two TFL and a sack of A&M quarterback Stephen McGhee on the final play of the game to help NU clinch the Big 12 North Division title. Carriker moved into sole possession of sixth on the career sacks list and into eighth on the TFL chart. Colorado Carriker had one of his finest games of the season, collecting seven tackles and three TFLs, including a career-high-tying two sacks. He moved from eighth into fifth on NU s career TFL chart during the win. Carriker also was the leading tackler on a thirdquarter safety that gave NU a nine-point lead over the Buffs.

Game 13 Marlon Lucky #20 I-Back Sophomore 6-0 210 North Hollywood, Calif. Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week (9/25) Marlon Lucky, who started the season s first five games, gives the Huskers a dangerous multi-dimensional threat out of the backfield in only his second season in Lincoln. He has shown the speed to break away from defenders while also providing NU with another dangerous receiving option. Lucky currently leads all Huskers with a 5.5 yards per carry average and ranks second in rushing with 640 yards. His six touchdowns on the ground rank third on the team, while his 24 receptions place him only behind starter Brandon Jackson among NU s I-back committee. Additionally, Lucky has made at least one reception in 11 of 12 games this season. His efforts have helped turn Nebraska into one of college football s most potent offenses this season, as the squad ranks among the top 18 nationally in rushing, passing, total offense and scoring average. Lucky became NU s second back this season to eclipse the 1,000-yard barrier for all-purpose yardage during the regular season finale against Colorado. The North Hollywood, Calif., native has recorded two 100-yard rushing games this season, including a career-high 156 yards against Troy featuring three touchdowns that earned him Big 12 Offensive Player-of-the-Week honors. Through the air, Lucky posted back-to-back outstanding efforts with at least three catches and 46 yards receiving against both Oklahoma State and Missouri. His four receptions against the Tigers marked a career high. Lucky matched the total a week later in the Big 12 North Division-clinching win at Texas A&M, when he paced the Huskers with 52 yards rushing and added a career-long 42-yard reception that led to Nebraska s third touchdown of the first half. He totaled 136 all-purpose yards during the game. 2006 Game-by-Game Rushing Receiving Game Att. Yds. Y/A Lng TDs Rec. Yds.

The 6-0, 230-pound Glenn is a powerful runner who has shown glimpses of potential to become a complete back in NU s West Coast offensive system. Glenn has appeared in nine of 12 games and ranks third among his Husker I-back teammates this season in rushing with 370 yards and a 5.2 yards per carry average. His eight touchdowns lead the team and are the most by a Husker I-back since Dahrran Diedrick scored 15 in 2001. Glenn recorded his first career 100-yard performance against Iowa State with a career-high 148 yards and a pair of scores, while he added two touchdowns on six carries against Texas A&M, his third game of the season with two scores. 2006 Game-by-Game Rushing Receiving Game Att.

The victory marked NU s 21st consecutive seasonopening win, the longest streak in the nation. Nebraska threw for 332 yards and rushed for 252 more in amassing 584 total yards, the most in the Bill Callahan era. Seven different players scored a touchdown, including four Huskers who found the end zone for the first time. In the air, senior quarterback Zac Taylor tied a career high with three touchdown passes, with each scoring toss to a different Husker tight end. On the ground, sophomore Cody Glenn paced the rushing attack, gaining 88 yards on 13 carries. Fellow sophomore Marlon Lucky added 79 yards on 13 carries and scored his first career touchdown. The receiving corps was busy all afternoon as 10 different players caught at least one pass. Playing in his first game since the 2004 season, senior Matt Herian made three grabs for a team-high 61 yards. Herian also became Nebraska s tight end career receiving yardage leader after his final catch. Preseason All-American defensive end Adam Carriker opened the game in solid fashion for the Blackshirts, as his seven-yard sack ended the Bulldogs first drive. The offenses took control of the game in the second quarter as Nebraska and Louisiana Tech combined to put points on the board in the final five possessions of the first half. NU scored on a touchdown on its final three possessions of the first half and found the end zone on four straight drives from the first to the third quarter.

The Huskers received impressive balance for the second straight game, both rushing and passing for more than 200 yards while putting up 14 points on the board each quarter. Nebraska s defense silenced Nicholls State through the air, holding the Colonels to no passing yards, the first time that has been achieved by the Blackshirts since grounding Oklahoma State in 1992. Nebraska scored on six of its first seven possessions. Senior quarterback Zac Taylor produced one of the most efficient and productive passing efforts by a Nebraska quarterback, connecting on 19-of-23 passes, including 12 straight completions in the first half, for 202 yards and four touchdowns in three quarters. Taylor s 213.77 NCAA pass efficiency rating ranked as the eighth best day by a Husker in the Nebraska record books. Sophomore I-back Marlon Lucky carried the load on the ground with the first 100-yard rushing day of his career with 18 carries for 103 yards and one touchdown. The big days from Taylor and Lucky helped NU achieve impressive offensive balance, as the Huskers rolled to 498 total yards, including 237 yards passing and 261 rushing yards. Nicholls State avoided the shutout early in the fourth quarter as Grant Thorne galloped 49 yards to the NU 1 before Broderick Cole scored on the next play with 13:33 left. Cody Glenn, who finished the day with 11 carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns, and Kenny Wilson who pitched in 79 yards and a touchdown on nine carries added fourth-quarter scores for the Huskers to produce the final margin.

The Huskers showed that they planned to be in the game until the end by opening the scoring with a 38-yard Jordan Congdon field goal in the first quarter. The spark for Nebraska s early 3-0 lead began one drive earlier, when punter Dan Titchener completed a 28-yard pass to wide receiver Todd Peterson on a fake punt to convert on fourth down and put NU in Trojan territory for the first time. USC took a 7-3 lead on the last play of the first quarter as John David Booty hit Dwayne Jarrett with the first of two scoring connections on the night. Booty also hooked up with Steve Smith in the second quarter while compiling impressive numbers through the air. Booty finished hitting on 25-of-36 pass attempts for 257 yards and three scores. Jarrett led the Trojan receivers with 11 catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns, while Smith added six catches for 53 yards and a score. Taylor cut the deficit to 21-10 after a nine-play, 74-yard scoring drive with his one-yard run with 12:44 left in the game. Chauncey Washington s seven-yard run with 6:32 remaining in the game capped the scoring and secured the win for USC. Taylor completed 8-of-16 passes for 115 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions. I-back Brandon Jackson led the Nebraska receiving unit with four catches for 36 yards, while tight end Matt Herian added one catch for 36 yards and Nunn picked up 31 yards on two catches. On the ground, Kenny Wilson s 46 yards on 19 totes led the Huskers, who managed 211 yards in total offense against USC, while the Trojans amassed 399 total yards.

The No. 23 Huskers improved to 3-1 on the year with the victory in front of 84,799 fans in the NCAA-record 278th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium. Sophomore I-back Marlon Lucky erupted for the best game of his young career with 10 carries for career highs of 156 yards and three touchdowns through Nebraska s opening drive of the second half. Lucky s big night included successive career-long runs of 34, 45 and 51 yards that all went for touchdowns, capped by his 51-yard burst up the middle on his final carry to give the Huskers a 35-0 lead. While Lucky carried the load for Nebraska s balanced West Coast offensive attack, senior quarterback Zac Taylor propelled the Huskers through the air, completing 14-of-17 passes for 268 yards and one touchdown. Taylor played just over one half, giving way to backup Joe Ganz after leading the Huskers on their fifth touchdown on the opening drive of the second half. Junior wide receiver Terrence Nunn enjoyed a career night as well with his first 100-yard receiving game, including a 67-yard catch in the first half to push him past the century mark.

The Longhorns looked to put a chill on the stadium-record crowd of 85,187 fans as Quan Cosby took the opening kickoff 78 yards to the Nebraska 9. But the Blackshirt defense made the first of several stands as it forced a field goal that put UT ahead, 3-0, less than two minutes into the contest.

With less than five minutes left, NU took its first lead of the day on a 25-yard I-back pass from Marlon Lucky to Nate Swift for a 20-19 advantage. Nebraska looked to ice the game after the Blackshirts forced a punt, but a Husker fumble gave the Longhorns one last chance at the win. UT drove inside the Husker 10 before Bailey connected on a 22-yard field goal on his first career attempt for the winning points. The Blackshirts held the potent Longhorn offense to 348 yards total offense while NU produced 340 yards on 21 fewer plays.

Game 13 Big 12 Championship Game 11 Nebraska 28, Texas A&M 27 SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FINAL Nebraska 7 14 0 7 28 Texas A&M 7 3 3 14 27 College Station, Texas (Nov. 11) --- Quarterback Zac Taylor hit Maurice Purify with a nine-yard touchdown pass with just 21 seconds left to give Nebraska the Big 12 North Division title with a 28-27 victory over No. 24 Texas A&M at Kyle Field. With the victory, Nebraska improved to 8-3 overall and 5-2 in the Big 12, while also clinching a berth in the Big 12 Conference Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Texas A&M slipped to 8-3 on the year and 4-3 in the league. Taylor capped a record-breaking day with his pass to Purify to put the exclamation point on an 11-play, 75-yard drive in just 1:36 that stopped an impressive second-half comeback by the Aggies. Taylor, who completed 21-of-35 passes for 267 yards with two touchdowns, became the Huskers career passing yardage leader with 5,193 yards in less than two full seasons, surpassing Dave Humm s previous mark of 5,035 yards from 1972 to 1974. Taylor s two touchdown passes also gave him 22 scoring strikes on the year, snapping Vince Ferragamo s single-season record of 20 set in 1976. A senior from Norman, Okla., Taylor guided the Huskers to a 21-7 lead early in the second quarter and a 21-13 lead at the end of three quarters, but a pair of Texas A&M fourth-quarter touchdowns gave the Aggies a 27-21 edge with 7:28 left. The Huskers capitalized on their final chance in a big way. The 11-play scoring drive featured three first-down connections between Taylor and wide receiver Todd Peterson, including a fourth-down grab to keep the Huskers hopes alive. Peterson enjoyed his best game of the season with seven catches for 82 yards and a score.

Game 12 Nebraska 37, Colorado 14 SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FINAL Colorado 7 0 7 0 14 Nebraska 7 7 7 16 37 Lincoln (Nov. 24) --- Utilizing several trick plays on offense and special teams, No. 19 Nebraska ran past Colorado, 37-14, in the regular-season finale on the day after Thanksgiving. Playing in front of a Memorial Stadium record crowd of 85,800 and an ABC national television audience, Nebraska improved to 9-3 on the season and completed a sweep of the Big 12 North to finish 6-2 in league play. Colorado fell to 2-10 on the year and 2-6 in conference action. A crisp offensive set on the Huskers first drive of the game led to a 7-0 lead as quarterback Zac Taylor connected with Terrence Nunn on a 15-yard scoring pass. Taylor finished the day 19-of-28 through the air for 249 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Playing his last home game on Senior Day, Taylor erased the NU single-season passing record for the second time in as many yearsand tied the NU career mark for touchdown passes. Taylor now shares the mark with Tommie Frazier, who also had 43 scoring strikes in his career, and owns the top two season passing marks in program history, including 2,789 yards this season. The Huskers used some trickery on their second score as backup quarterback Joe Ganz hit defensive end Barry Turner in the end zone for a 29-yard scoring pass off a fake field goal. After a quick CU scoring drive on its first possession of the third quarter tied the game at 14-14, NU took command behind I-back Brandon Jackson, who had a career-high 34 rushes and 142 yards on the ground. Jackson scored from two yards out to put NU ahead for good and added an 18-yard reception for a score in the fourth quarter. Senior defensive end Adam Carriker led the Blackshirt defense as he added a pair of sacks and three TFLs. Carriker also teamed with linebacker Corey McKeon for a safety that gave NU a nine-point fourth quarter lead just one play after Turner downed a punt at the CU 1.
