Nebraska is facing Louisiana Tech in Week 4, and the Huskers are trying to get things rolling in the second quarter. After a scoreless opening quarter, Nebraska used a bit of trickery to set up the first score of the game.

Deep in Bulldog territory, Nebraska was preparing to kick a field goal for the first points of the game. Instead, the Huskers utilized Timmy Bleekrode as a ball carrier in a fake.

Bleekrode plunged straight through a massive hole for 10 yards and needed 4 for a first down.

Nebraska kept the misdirection going on 2nd-and-goal. The Huskers called an end-around to Billy Kemp IV with pre-snap motion while faking a handoff to the running back in a well-executed play.

It went for 9 yards and a touchdown for Kemp as Nebraska broke the scoreless tie:

Nebraska would like to find some efficiency on offense with a pair of punts already and a 2-for-6 passing start for Heinrich Haarberg. Kempt has both receptions and the 9-yard carry for 36 yards of offense in the first half.
