The Nebraska Cornhuskers achieved a decisive 28-10 victory over the Colorado Buffaloes, showcasing a dominant defensive performance that included five sacks and a pick-six. Nebraska took a commanding 28-0 lead by halftime, as Colorado struggled offensively, netting minus-2 yards in the first quarter and failing to record a first down until their fifth possession. Coach Matt Rhule emphasized the importance of setting the tone early, which the Huskers executed effectively. Despite a conservative second half that saw numerous penalties disrupt the game flow, Nebraska maintained control. This victory marked Nebraska's first win over Colorado since 2010, improving their historical series record to 50-21-2. While Colorado showed signs of improvement, their offensive line issues persisted, raising questions about their competitiveness in the upcoming season.
