Huskers Dominate Late for 52-17 Win. Tommy Armstrong threw three touchdown passes to become Nebraska’s career leader in that category and ran for another score as the Huskers soared to a 52-17 win over visiting Wyoming.

Nebraska jumped to a 17-0 lead, but Wyoming cut that advantage to 24-17 heading into the fourth quarter. It was then that the Big Red erupted, starting with Armstrong’s 34-yard scoring strike to Jordan Westerkamp. That was followed by a flurry of turnovers by the Blackshirts that turned the game into a rout.

Next Saturday will say a ton about Banker’s defensive progress in Year 2 - and a little about Banker’s future in Lincoln, too.

For the second consecutive week, a big fourth quarter turned a tense situation into a blowout win.

We are finally starting to see the famous ‘Mike Riley screen game’ come to life.

Nebraska has found new and different ways to erode its own advantages. Special teams have been lackluster. Penalties are an early problem.

What we saw Saturday was perhaps a formula for this season, a formula for both victory and disaster.

There were plenty of positives for the home team, but enough issues ... to make even the most optimistic Nebraska fan feel a bit fidgety with 24th-ranked Oregon up next.

The words ‘kicking butt’ have found a home inside Memorial Stadium and in the hallways of Nebraska’s locker room.
