Nebraska’s home opener against Akron was cancelled two weeks ago due to bad weather.

Cornhusker fans probably wish that could have happened on Saturday against Colorado, too.

In the first game of the Scott Frost era, Nebraska led its former Big 12 rival, 28-27, with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. That’s when Buffalo quarterback Steven Montez hit Laviska Shenault along the right sideline for 40 yards and the game-winning touchdown.

For the day, Montez threw for 351 yards, while Shenault had 10 catches for 177 yards and also had a rushing touchdown.

Shenault’s game-winning reception is this week’s U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish “Catch of the Week.”

Remember … for the tailgate tent or the pre-game party, U. S. Farm-Raised Catfish is always “the winning catch.”

The Catfish Institute, or TCI, was formed in 1986 by catfish farmers and feed manufacturers to raise consumer awareness of the positive qualities of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Since its formation, U.S. per capita consumption has more than doubled.

U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is a sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood product. The National Audubon Society, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Environmental Defense all recommend U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a safe environmental choice. To find out more, visit www.uscatfish.com.
