Big Plays, Blackshirts Enough for 6-0 Big Red

Bloomington, Ind. - No. 10 Nebraska jumped to a 17-0 first-quarter lead then got 10 huge points in the fourth quarter to overcome a scrappy bunch of Hoosiers in the Husker football team's 27-22 road win at Indiana on Saturday afternoon.

The Huskers, who improved to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten, got another mammoth drive in the fourth quarter from quarterbac Tommy Armstrong Jr., running back Terrell Newby and the rest of the Nebraska offense. After Indiana raced 75 yards in five plays and just 1:31 to cut Nebraska's lead to 24-22 with 8:26 left, the Huskers mounted a 15-play, 60-yard march that consumed 7:41 on the clock and all of Indiana's timeouts.
