Frazier once again was the focal point of Nebraska's sue cess story, throwing a 23-yard touchdown pass to Eric Al-ford to give the Huskers (3-0) a 7-0 lead on their second possession. Frazier then scored on a 12-yard run in the secod quarter and added a pair of two-point conversions as Nebraska blew out to a 28-7 lead at half. "I saw fear in their eyes," Frazier said.
