The Huskies won the statistical battle as well as the game, gaining twice as many yards (618-308) and first downs (31-15) as the Cornhusk-ers, who averaged 65 points and 742 yards in their first two games. "I don't know that we wore them down, but I feel we're a great conditioned team," Bryant said. "We run everything hard in practice.

We practice five quarters; most teams practice four." Washington pulled to 14-9 on Travis Hanson's 43-yard field goal midway through the third period, but Nebraska extended its lead to 21-9 on Derek Brown's 2-yard TD run with 5:32 left in the quarter after Mike Anderson recovered a fumbled punt. left.

We overcame adversity and came from behind. What else is there?" Hobert completed 23 of 40 passes for 283 yards as the Huskies handed Nebraska (2-1) its sixth straight loss against a ranked team. "There were a lot of times in the first half I felt like screaming out there," said Hobert, whose team trailed 14-6 at halftime. "The key thing about being a quarterback is that you have to show confidence and lead the team. Without being cocky, I think I did that in the second half." The loss added to the Cornhusk-ers' growing reputation as a team that can't win the big game.

Nebraska has lost four straight bowl games and hasn't beaten a ranked opponent since 1988. "I don't want you guys to print that we can't win big games," quarterback Keithen McCant said. "We'll play hard and come back and win this year." Beno Bryant ran for 139 yards and one touchdown for Washington, while Barry rushed for 110 yards and one LINCOLN, Neb.
