“There were some missed tackles we had,” Nebraska senior outside linebacker Luke Gifford said. “They run hard. They’re big, physical dudes. I know there was one (tackle) on that last drive that I missed, and it ended up being second-and-short. If I make that play at the line of scrimmage, then maybe that drive goes differently.”
Dobbins rushed 23 times for 163 yards and three touchdowns, and Mike Weber rushed nine times for 91 yards.
Senior safety Tre Neal thought the Huskers held up well for the first 30 minutes but saw the results fading as the game wore on.
