There may be no stopping Devine Ozigbo today.

The Nebraska running back opened Saturday’s scoring with a 40-yard run in the first quarter. It didn’t take long for him to add to those numbers.

He scored again in the first quarter, this time from 59 yards out. Ozigbo went around the right side and broke a tackle before blazing into the clear and all the way to the house.

The run was impressive, but the Cornhuskers used a little bit of trickery earlier in the drive. Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez executed a “Statue of Liberty” play that Maurice Washington carried for a first down.

It remains to be seen if the Cornhuskers will keep it up all afternoon, but they are playing lights out early on. Nebraska on BTN shared the video of the two plays:
