The “Husker” “Power” chant was clearly audible in the radio and TV broadcasts. Husker fans were out in full force at Ryan Field. Northwestern won the toss and deferred. Maurice Washington fielded the touchback.
First Quarter
Of course, the Huskers couldn’t even get the first play off without some yellow laundry. But thanks to Devine Ozigbo and a nice connection between Adrian Martinez and JD Spielman the huskers struck pay dirt only 1:28 into the game. WE CAN HAZ FIRST QUARTER POINTS!!
Nebraska 7 Northwestern 0
The kickoff by Caleb Lightbourn went out of bounds (Nebraska’s second penalty- sigh) and the Wildcats took over at their 35 yard line.
