| Steve Bruce What stood out in the post-game presser and other thoughts from Saturday’s opener. Some quotes, notes and thoughts on the post-game press conference – what I’ll be focusing on here was what stood out in the moment post-game (quotes which really stood out will in italics for emphasis): HEAD COACH MATT RHULE On Dylan Raiola using multiple checks to Emmett Johnson’s 42-yard-run “The best one was that he three way checked the long run by Emmett, right? Like, he checked it and then... |

It’s a game which will be full of national attention, excitement, and probably plenty of fireworks. Joining me for a lively discussion will be Jack Barsh and Ryland Scholes of Ralphie Report, our SB Nation Colorado Buffalo site. I’m sure the discussion will be lively and fun and we’ll talk about everything: Shedeur Sanders Travis Hunter Coach Deion Sanders Colorado’s Offensive Line Colorado’s Defense We’ll be... |
| Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images Well the Big Ten went 17-1 this past weekend in non-conference play. The two most impressive wins were USC over LSU and Penn State over West Virginia. I didn’t want to penalize Minnesota too much for the loss against North Carolina. As you will see there are a lot of teams that dropped a spot but that mainly had to do with USC making a big jump and not as a penalty to other teams in their wins.... |

| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Plus, science can now [probably] tell you why your dog likes to roll in poo Happy Labor Day! Whew! It has been a while since I could write a Monday flakes after a season opening win. How hyped are you for this weekend’s game vs Colorado? Me? I’m still pretty cautious. There have been too many years of false hope and so I am adopting a “wait and see” attitude. But, I will admit that I watched the highlights (and... |
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports It was finally time for Nebraska to open the season with a game like this…and frankly, it was especially important for Nebraska to open the 2024 season like this. Nebraska opened the previous four seasons with a conference game away from Lincoln; a combination that is especially ill-advised with a true freshman quarterback starting his first game. With a new head coach and only seven returning starters from a three-win team, UTEP is a team that shouldn’t have presented a particularly... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Yesterday was fun right? It was fun to watch a quarterback who is probably the most hyped recruit in a generation actually live up to the hype. For example, Dylan Raiola checked a play in and out of a run and back to a run three times as the UTEP defense made adjustments – which then resulted in a 42 yard run by Emmett Johnson. That would be impressive for a seasoned veteran, but in this case it was the... |
| Stephen Bruce Nebraska starts the season 1-0 with a dominant 40-7 win over UTEP, showing significant improvement and resilience. Despite a rocky start with penalties and a fumble by Dante Dowell, Nebraska quickly recovered with a safety and a 59-yard touchdown. This response was crucial as it marked a departure from previous seasons where the team would falter after mistakes. The game featured a wide array of players, with 11 different rushers and receivers and three quarterbacks, allowing the coaching staff to evaluate various lineups... |

| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports The Huskers reacted well to some early yips and took care of business. And hasn’t it been awhile since they had a game like that? There were actually three instances where fans began to wonder if the Huskers were up to their old tricks: 1) After moving the ball four or five minutes in, the Huskers took back-to-back procedure and offensive PI penalties to put themselves in a 2nd and 30 situation on their own 45. 2) With about three minutes... |
| Stephen Bruce Looks like a beautiful day in Lincoln, Nebraska. Nebraska 7 – UTEP 0 Scoring drive 12 plays, 72 yards, 5:54 Nebraska scored on a 5-yard run by Dante Dowdell. Nebraska had two penalties on the drive, one for a false start on Bryce Benahart and one for pass interference on Thomas Fidone, who started a block downfield during a pass play before the pass was actually thrown. A rather dumb mistake. It made no difference. Facing a 2nd and 30, our beloved Huskers... |
| GABY VELASQUEZ/ EL PASO TIMES / USA TODAY NETWORK Nate M. Quick Thoughts: I think we should all prepare ourselves for a competitive football game. Reminder that Dylan Raiola is a true freshman quarterback and he will likely make mistakes. Nebraska will also spend the day blocking top pass rusher UTEP’s Maurice Westmoreland who Matt Rhule said will be one of the best they see all season. It should be a comfortable win but we need to prepare for a battle. Nate M Prediction: Nebraska... |
