GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: It’s difficult to compare and contrast Nebraska, a Big Ten program, with Bethune-Cookman, an FCS school from the MEAC. However, if last week was any indication, the Cornhuskers will look to establish a tempo on the ground offensively.
Bethune-Cookman ranks just No. 75 in the FCS ranks in rush defense, allowing an average of 183.8 yards per game. Nebraska, meanwhile, ranks No. 25 in the FBS in rushing with 219.9 yards per game. The Cornhuskers tallied 388 yards on the ground against Minnesota.
DRAFT SLANT
–WR Stanley Morgan, a 6-foot-1 senior, had his best game of the year against Minnesota. He had 10 catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns against the Gophers, leading the Cornhuskers’ receiving corps in receptions and yardage.
ROSTER REPORT:
–DL Deontre Thomas is questionable with a hand injury.
–DB CJ Smith is out indefinitely with a knee injury.
