Huskers Roll Up Over 500 Yards in 48-9 Win:Nebraska used a balanced offense and a stingy defense to put together four solid quarters of football in a 48-9 victory over South Alabama.

Junior I-back Terrell Newby, junior quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr., and junior receivers Lane Hovey, Brandon Reilly, Alonzo Moore and Jordan Westerkamp all put on a show as Mike Riley collected his first win as head coach of the Huskers.

Newby raced to a career-high 198 yards on 28 carries, while Armstrong orchestrated a passing game that accounted for 303 yards and three touchdowns.

Nebraska addressed its biggest problem from a week ago right off the bat.

Michael Rose-Ivey covered the field and restored some order.

Newby no doubt picked up confidence and gave Nebraska a go-to guy at the position, at least for now.

Nebraska’s opponents have been a little too comfortable thus far throwing the ball down the field.

It was straight-up vanilla, something for Miami to ponder and even better, some good food for the Husker soul.

Omaha World-Herald
Callahan

Offenses are going to continue to go after Davie until he proves he can be more consistent in pass coverage.

Hamar

Maybe Newby’s performance gives Miami a little bit to think about.

Grand Island Independent
Pernell

Tommy Armstrong continues his evolution as a quarterback under the tutelage of Danny Langsdorf.

The Blackshirts look better through Rose colored glasses.
