Nebraska looks like an energized football team for Saturday’s showdown against No. 10 Ohio State!
After back-to-back wins over Minnesota and Bethune-Cookman, the Cornhuskers resemble a different team than the one that went 0-6 to start the season. Scott Frost and company are looking to begin November with a big-time upset, and Adrian Martinez and the offense got things rolling early on.
It looked like the offense would be forced into a punt on the game’s opening drive. Buckeyes DL Dre’Mont Jones recorded a sack that forced Nebraska into a 3rd-and-long. Martinez would then be forced out of bounds short of the first down marker, but Frost kept the offense on the field.
Nebraska dialed up a beautiful play call on fourth down with Martinez finding TE Jack Stoll for a short conversion. The play was beautifully executed, but the catch by Stoll was something else. He was able to reel in the pass with one hand despite being interfered with.

Devine Ozigbo would finish off the drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge. Can Nebraska keep things rolling?
