• Commentary:
• Stryker: “ A performance like this gives the offense a sense that it’s part of the band, not just the background singers.” • Shatel: “ They say young people are resilient. Nebraska's kids picked a pretty good time to remind us.” • McKeever: “ It’s easy to picture the Huskers in a lot worse shape had Gomes not forced the game’s only turnover.” • Sipple: “ The Huskers appear to be on the brink of winning the North, warts and all.” • Kerkhoff: “ By following a defensive masterpiece triumph over Oklahoma with Saturday’s where-did-that-come-from offensive performance, the Cornhuskers have become the first division team to show some stretch.” • McKewon: “ Lee needed to be part of the solution from the opening play. Shawn Watson made sure of it.” • Chatelain: “ He had seen Watson transitioning to more power sets the past month, so Osborne offered a few pointers. The message: You may want to try some of this old stuff.” • York: “ Maybe it’s time to focus on what Nebraska has instead of what it doesn’t have.”
