Nebraska Cornhuskers’s victory over Colorado Buffaloes

Cornhuskers dominated the popular football program in the second week. They totalled 334 yards of offense; on the other hand, Colorado could manage only 260 yards and 16 rushing yards. Nebraska’s quarterback displayed some impressive performance in the crucial game. Dylan Railoa ended the day with 23 out of 30 for 1805 yards and one touchdown.

Yahoo Sports reported the freshman’s take after the game, where he spoke about the importance of the offense setting a physical tone early in the game. “Obviously, that’s our foundation. That’s what Husker football and this offense are built on. I couldn’t say enough about my o-line going out and covering people up and moving people off the ball. Receivers, blocking and being physical, and running backs, finishing runs, and making plays. It was a team win, team effort, and we’re just happy we’re 1-0 right now.”

Raiola’s statements clearly highlight the collective team effort. The Cornhuskers sacked the star player of Colorado, Shedeur Sander, five times, which kept him under pressure throughout the game. With talent like Jahmal Banks on its roster, the future seems bright for the Cornhuskers. Let’s see how they fare going ahead in the season!
