The big, rugged Buff line held the Cornhuskers to a mere 129 yards, just one yard more than 3rd stringer total, and the Husk- 27 yards passing gave them only 156 yards for the day. Gained Well Colorado, meanwhile, chopped up defensive corps for 226 yards on the ground and added another 70 through the air for a grand total of 296 yards, second largest mark chalked up against NU this fall.
