Corn Nation Overreaction: Huskers Overcome Sluggish Start, Move to 5-0
Description
Corn Nation Reaction, Jake and Greg will have all of the thoughts on Nebraska's 48-23 victory over Maryland.
At the beginning, it looked like he Huskers were not up to the challenge of being 5-0 for the first time since 2016 (that's a crazy stat). Maryland looked in control early on, controlling the ball for nine of fifteen first quarter minutes and taking a 16-7 lead. But Nebraska found its stride, posting 21 second quarter points and leading 28-23 at halftime.
The Terrapins would not score again.
Of course, the Huskers were the third-quarter Huskers, not finding the endzone until seconds into the fourth frame. But 21 points in the final quarter helped seal the win.
So the shortcomings would be identified as:
- Third Quarter Woes
- Turnovers (16 for 132 yards)
- Lack of a rushing attack without Jamal Rule
Big Noon Saturday looms with top-ten Indiana coming to Memorial Stadium. It should be a good game.
