Nebraska Struggles in 48-34 Win

The 2010 Nebraska Cornhuskers squared off against the Rice Owls in Lincoln, Nebraska at Memorial Field on Saturday.  The excitement of a new coaching era has been the buzz all offseason.  That excitement quickly turned into the realization that the program has a long way to go before returning to the head of the table of college football royalty.

Nebraska managed a 48-34 victory over Rice and it was a struggle for the Huskers throughout.  The offense showed signs of being explosive, but was plagued by 5 turnovers (2 fumbles, 3 interceptions) that kept Rice in the game through the 4th quarter.  Coach Wildcatter was most upset with his defense which gave up 34 points and could not stop the Rice passing attack.

POTG:
RB, Q. Castille
Rushing:          27-149-1
Receiving:           3-70-2

Up next, Nebraska travels to Baton Rouge to face the highly touted LSU Tigers.
