Ouch. Huskers got schooled over the weekend, falling to the mighty USC Trojans 49-31; the game was not nearly as close as the score would indicate. After taking a 10-7 lead, the Huskers allowed a seemingly endless 35 unanswered points before scoring three 4th quarter TDs. The inexplicable item for me is that the Blackshirt defense again got torn up on ground, allowing over 300 yards and 14 first downs. Sam Keller had a big day in the absence of any like minded Husker ground game, going 36-54 for 389 and 2 TDS, but also threw 2 INTs. NU drops to ten spots in the polls to #24 as a result.
Elsewhere around the Big 12:
Iowa State broke through into the W column upsetting arch rival Iowa 15-13.
Mizzou beat up on another MAC victim, this time Western Michigan to the tune of 52-24.
Texas Tech punishes Rice 59-24, with Graham Harrell again going for over 400 yds and throwing 6 TDs.
The Sooner wagon also rolled Saturday, decleating Utah St 54-3 and running up 617 yds of offense in doing so.
South Division also had yet another big win with A & M beating up on Louisiana Monroe 54-14.
The Loghorns struggle mightily against my favorite Florida school, Central Florida, eeking out a 35-32 victory against the Golden Knights.
Baylor edges Texas St 34-27, BU QB Blake Szymanski going for over 400 yards and 5 TDs, along with a pair of INTs.
Another pair of blowouts in the form of Big 12 North action was Kansas St 61, Missouri State 10 and Kansas 45, Toldeo 10, with KU QB Tim Ressing reeling off 300 yards and 4 TDs.
On the other hand, the Buffalo fall again, this time to Florida State, 16-6, despite a meager 10 FSU first downs.
Around the rest of the land:
#9 Wisconsin avoids an upset defeating The Citadel 45-31.
#10 Penn St. outmuscled Turner Gill's game Buffalo squad 45-24.
Michigan spanks Notre Dame 38-0, too bad someone had to win this one.
#8 Ohio St breaks Ty Willingham's bubble, downing the Huskies 33-14.
#17 Virginia Tech knocks off Frank Solich's Ohio Bobcats 28-7.
Florida hangs 59 points on the Volunteers to win by 39.
#16 Bama edges the Razorbacks 41-38.
#21 Kentucky outscores #18 Louisville 40-34.
Shocker of the Day: Utah 44, UCLA 6, knocking the Bruins clean out of the top 25.
NU's next opponent, the MAC's Ball State U, edged Navy 34-31.
More on them later in the week.
