It's hard to imagine a better first career start for Nebraska quarterback TJ Lateef. He got to do it in front of a home crowd. He got to do it to give the Huskers their seventh win of the season, and he had a near-perfect outing, hurting UCLA with his arm and his feet. And then after the game, NU fans let the true freshman QB know how much his outing was appreciated.
There was a ton of pressure on Lateef leading up to Saturday night's game. He was taking over for Dylan Raiola, who had started every game of his Husker career.
