Nebraska improved to 2-0 on Saturday night with a 28-10 victory over the Colorado Buffaloes. The 18-point margin of victory is the largest for the Cornhuskers in this rivalry since a 45-17 win over the Buffs in 2010.
The Huskers now hold a 50-21-2 all-time edge in the series, including 27-9 in Lincoln. Nebraska held Colorado to ten points, making the Buffaloes the ninth straight opponent the Huskers have held to 24 or fewer points.
The Cornhuskers finished with 334 yards of offense, while Colorado could only muster 260 yards of total offense and only 16 yards on the ground.
Quarterback Dylan Raiola finished the game 23-of-30 for 185 yards and one touchdown. After the win, the freshman quarterback talked 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 is 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.”
Nebraska will now prepare for Northern Iowa next Saturday. The Huskers will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT, and the game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
