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.

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.
