- FootballTwo Months Ago, Mekhi Nelson Didn't Think He'd Be HereNelson shed a couple of tears before kickoff, then put up 129 all-purpose yards with a 29-yard touchdown run and a career-long 51-yard touchdown catch in Nebraska's 49-21 win over Ohio.
- FootballBody Blows: Jamal Rule Needed 17 Touches to Announce HimselfJamal Rule's third career carry went for a touchdown. He finished his first college game with 122 rushing yards, 169 scrimmage yards and three scores — the first Nebraska freshman to run for 100 in an opener since Adrian Martinez in 2018.
- FootballNebraska 49, Ohio 21: The Hard First Half Was the Whole PointNebraska trailed 13-7, led by one at the break, then outscored Ohio 35-8 after halftime. Anthony Colandrea threw for 275 and three scores, freshman Jamal Rule went for 169 on 17 touches, and Matt Rhule said afterward he wanted it that way.
- VolleyballEight Kills on Ten Swings: Teraya Sigler Only Needed One SetNo. 1 Nebraska swept DePaul 25-19, 25-13, 25-15 and hit .434 as a team. Sigler did her damage in a single set, Kenna Cogill made her first career start and led everyone in blocks, and 8,786 packed Wintrust.
- PredictionNebraska 42, Ohio 17: My Pick, Not the Model'sThe model says Nebraska 34-17. The market says 23.5. I'm taking the Huskers by 25, and the reason is a quarterback comparison the model can't make — Anthony Colandrea has 31 career starts, and Ohio's starter has 290 career passing yards.
