Huskers dominate Terps on road

Junior receiver J.D. Spielman caught seven passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns, sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez compiled 288 yards of total offense, and a smothering, opportunistic Blackshirt defense led Nebraska to a dominating 54-7 victory over Maryland.

Nebraska (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten Conference) won for the first time since Oct. 5, producing its largest margin of victory in a Big Ten game and collecting its first November road victory since 2015.

Martinez passed for 194 yards and ran for 94 as Nebraska finished with 531 total yards, including 305 rushing. The Huskers committed only one penalty and gained 31 first downs.

The Nebraska defense, meanwhile, recovered four fumbles, including one on special teams, and held Maryland scoreless until Javon Leake’s 58-yard touchdown run with 3:13 remaining in the game. Prior to that, the Terrapins had run only two plays in Nebraska territory, none beyond the 48-yard line.

Nebraska collected a season-high six sacks and held Maryland to 206 total yards, the fewest the Huskers have allowed this season.

Commentary

Stryker

For a Cornhusker team battling injuries, illness, and frankly, a fair amount of bad luck, the trip to College Park, Maryland, turned out to be as rejuvenating as a week in a health spa.

Christopherson

Erik Chinander's defense was exactly what they needed to be all year and needs to be again this upcoming Friday – opportunistic.

Nebraska isn’t in a spot where it can shrug off wins against basement teams. Nebraska is in a spot where it needs these kinds of games for growth.

Hardesty

The defense as a whole played one of its most fundamentally sound games of the season.

It by no means was the prettiest day for Frost's offense, but considering the circumstances, it was one of their more efficient.

The Huskers played in a manner that suggests they want the season to continue. That alone felt like progress.

Here was a blowout win for Nebraska, an empty-the-bench kind of day. And on the road, no less. ... When was the last time anyone saw something like that?

It’s not a stretch to say this was the most complete game in Frost’s two years as coach, even though Maryland looked like a team that had already cashed it in.

Yes, Maryland was an awful team this weekend, but Nebraska did what good teams do to bad teams.
