That's what is supposed to happen when you leave 800,000 people to occupy the visitor space when it's supposed to be your week off.
Make no mistake, the Huskers have chosen the perfect dance partner for their makeup game a week before Ohio State.
Things on the checklist go? To win. Build a big lead and rest the beginners and play with young guys. Spend the weekend without seriously hurting your core. Send everyone in this state to planned weddings from one week to the next, with the feeling that the Huskers can do a little run in November.
Check, check, hopefully, check for injuries and … well, it can not be worse than next week against the state of Ohio whether it's the last two years.
We will not act as if we could judge much of Nebraska's 45-9 win over Bethune-Cookman on Saturday.
But the Huskers conscientiously did what everyone was asking for by building a 38-3 lead at halftime, scoring 364 yards on the offensive. In this first half, Martinez has launched for 213, Stanley Morgan took 7 for 82, JD Spielman had 72 yards and a 77-yard touchdown kick and the Nebraska defense had two points to remember.
You may find problems, but Nebraska got what he wanted, and I say: be like this employee / supporter of Bethune-Cookman in the second quarter, who bought a Runza to a vendor over the fence. Smile and enjoy, while noting that the Minnesota team, Nebraska, took a big win on the road last night and that the North West team that the Huskers had practically destroyed was a big problem for the team. Wisconsin Saturday.
Some encouraging trends are developing in these makeshift catch of Saturday's match.
Yes, everything can be prefaced by "Look who was the opponent." So let's leave this recognition aside and also appreciate the fact that the Nebraska special teams have finally made the big game they've been looking for since this year.
It helps that JD Spielman is a monster. His 77-yard touchdown return would have ended about 35 yards from the end zone for many, but the second player has cut the time trial as easily and with as much confidence as you could walk us in the fridge during a TV stop.
Have a good time. He is special.
But credit blocking on the game too. And there were some young guys on this unit back: like Cam Taylor, Braxton Clark, Ethan Cox and Caleb Tannor. Some guys raised their hands to avoid blocking the players at the back.
The most impressive part was almost down and did not see any flag.
By the way, this was the first volley back from Nebraska for a touchdown since the memorable home visit of De Mornay Pierson-El in the fourth quarter against Iowa in 2014. Who would have thought that day to the drought that was announcing?
Adrian Martinez was solid, even spectacular, which already shows that the high bar is set for the real freshman.
He had 5-on-5 in his first try and 15 of 22 in the first half, during which he won only twice, which could have been a hope to hope he could play without problems, without the QB. take a lot of shots.
But he actually took a few big hits, including a weak one at the end of the half, which momentarily worried you to come back. He did it quickly.
Aside from a record that featured a strange sequence of bag interception by the Bethune-Cookman Defense, the Huskers moved it with minimal problems. Yet, I guess that's it and Mario Verduzco Looks like it can be cooler than what it was.
I hate being a press quarterback, because I do not think I'm good at it, but I could tell from his reactions to a few pieces that he thought he could have read better or better throw, and of course he'll see a shot that he wants to come back on an interception when he will force the matter to a third goal.
There was a case towards the end of the first half where he could probably have run for a touchdown, but for an incomplete result. And there was a couple where he made the most difficult pitch when there were targets that opened.
Despite everything, he led the offense for 38 points at half-time, earning the rest of the day. His 1,656-yard pass was a rookie record … and he only played seven games.
Smart movement making sure to get Stanley Morgan get out of the bat.
He set the tone with two catches for 29 yards in the first two games and seven catches for 82 yards in his brief day of work. His 27-yard touchdown with a man draped over him should not be taken for granted. Give him a chance and he can go get it. He and Spielman explained to everyone that this would not be a dramatic day.
The defense of Nebraska as a whole has been satisfactory to the extent possible, but has been spoiled for a few more explosive games that could give rise to concerns knowing that this will happen.
The first two records of the first half, in particular, left something to be desired, with some Husker starters still on the pitch. Bethune-Cookman has moved effectively into NU's 10 to start the half against unit # 1 at the time you know. Scott Frost wanted a good start to unload his bench.
A Luke Gifford Hustle Sack saved the day and helped Husker's defense to save face.
At the next possession, Bethune-Cookman moved him from his own 10 to 15 before Ben Stille came to the rescue with a bag and then Deontai Williams made a choice.
It was a good day for Deontai Williams, who had two turnovers, including a pick in the end zone, where he had an impressive break.
He will play a lot of football for Nebraska over the next two years. Do not forget that this team loses three senior security after this season.
I think JoJo Domann could also stay in good health. You have seen Domann force a fumble. Injuries have so far derailed his career, but he is still in his second year. And when he was healthy last season, he was around the ball all the time.
It's an important November for guys like Domann and Williams, who can, through a movie about the game, convince their coaches what they might be saying for the future of this defense.
Yes, it was 38-3, but watching the third quarter will not be very fun for anyone.
Bethune-Cookman kicked Nebraska's tail between 99 and 25 in this frame, as the offense involved two three-and-one with two substitutes in the match, including the quarterback. Noah Vedral get his first shots as a Husker.
Vedral had a good helping hand from the crowd, happy to see a boy from the area being shot to play this year. And I guess we may have gotten an answer as to who is number 2 in the QB, despite discussions in the Husker camp that made you believe Andrew Bunch was this guy again.
I would say that the competition to be the second guy has yet to be quite open. It's hard to judge the quarterback so much when he's not surrounded by the same guys as Martinez, but watching the offensive without Martinez in the second half makes you enjoy it even more.
But a difficult start to the day for Vedral was marked by a brilliant moment. He showed his racing skills on a 20-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. He will want some games, but it is hoped that the removal of rust will be beneficial.
Nebraska further reduced penalties this week, scoring just three times for 15 yards in the first half. But you saw examples when the Huskers were stuck on the way the penalties change completely.
On the first-only failure in the first half, a penalty for false start in the middle of the field led the first to 15 points, followed by two sacks and a pick. This offense is all about rhythm and it's just pulled to the devil when the clothes go out.
The Huskers will have to keep the penalty next week as these last two Saturdays to have a chance.
The young corners had quality time.
Cam Taylor had a lesson on the 54 yard game where he was beaten from the line of scrimmage. But that's the beauty of this game. A teacher like him can draw something from this experience.
Braxton Clark was there too. I liked the way he continued the touch on a couple's cheek. It must not be forgotten.
Miles Jones entered, and the man, he could have had a great game.
The young running back showed his burst at a 21-yard reception. He also dropped one. But it was the previous game that could have been a very long touch. He lost himself in high school but Vedral did not see him until late and threw him for failure.
I remain convinced that Jones will play an important role in this attack from 2019. He has three games left to play and keep his red shirt. It is the perfect example of this new redshirt rule and how it helps to keep a young man motivated knowing that there is a chance to continue playing in November, even if it is in a small role.
Wyatt Mazour does things every time he's there.
Of course, the game situations are good for him, but you always know that he will give you a whim, no matter the score or the time spent in the game.
Overall, the Huskers hoped that the day would be at the rendezvous. Nothing you will remember beyond next Tuesday, but then, that's how you want these games to be – forgettable.
Well, except for someone like Matt Jarzynkawho had a bag in the fourth quarter. That one will stay in the spirit.
And the great Vaha also took part in the game as well as guys like Katerian Legrone, who had his first Husker take.
So it was a win on a nice day in Lincoln, with a lot of guys who broke up in front of an announced crowd of 88,735 people at home.
I do not know how many fans were really there. The student section had its lot of empty tickets, but the place was a lot fuller than anyone can expect for a team that broke the Nebraska record, playing against an FCS team.
You could say that there have never been so many positive results for a 2-6 team. But there is a good reason for that. The Huskers have enough coins to at least make you curious what they can do when you turn on the tube next week.
