Memorial Stadium is upside down.

Nebraska football leads Colorado 28-0 at halftime. The Huskers physically dominated both sides of the ball.

The Blackshirts have controlled every stretch of the game so far. They’ve held Colorado to 112 total yards, including -17 on the ground. NU has also forced a trio of three-and-outs, stopped the Buffaloes on a fourth-and-1, returned an interception for a touchdown and blocked a field goal. Shedeur Sanders has been sacked four times.

On the other side of the ball, Dante Dowdell has a pair of rushing touchdowns. Nebraska has rushed for 87 yards. Dylan Raiola is 14 of 17 for 126 yards and a touchdown. That touchdown pass to Rahmir Johnson could have been an interception, but somehow Johnson batted the ball in the air to himself and ran it in for the score.

The Huskers start the second half with the ball.

Nebraska Athletics Notes

• Corner defender Tommi Hill intercepted a CU pass and returned it 7 yards for a TD, giving Nebraska a 14-0 lead in the second quarter. It was Hill’s fifth career interception and his first interception return for a touchdown.
• Hill’s pick-six was Nebraska’s first since Cam Taylor-Britt returned a 38-yard interception for a touchdown against Iowa in 2019. It was Nebraska’s first defensive TD since 2020 (Deontai Williams fumble return TD vs. Penn State) and it was the second straight week that the Husker defense has scored after recording a safety last week against UTEP.
• Sophomore running back Dante Dowdell opened the scoring for the second straight week with a 12-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. He added a one-yard TD to give Nebraska a 21-0 lead in the second quarter. Dowdell also scored a first-quarter touchdown in the season-opening win over UTEP.

• Punter Brian Buschini had a 60-yard punt downed at the CU 2 in the second quarter which resulted in a Nebraska pick-six on the ensuing play. The 60-yard punt was the fifth of Buschini’s Nebraska career.
• Nebraska blocked a field goal by Colorado in the second quarter. It was the fifth time in the past two seasons that Nebraska had blocked a kick, including four field goals and one point.
• Defensive lineman Ty Robinson got the FG block, his second in the last three games (vs. Iowa, 2023). Robinson also had a PBU on the opening drive of the game and a 9-yard sack on the third snap of the game.

• Nebraska recorded four sacks in the first half after recording eight against the Buffs last season.
• Senior running back Rahmir Johnson caught an 18-yard TD pass to close out the first half scoring. The TD reception was Johnson’s third career receiving TD and first since 2021.
• Today’s game leaders were offensive tackle Bryce Benhart, receiver Jahmal Banks, defensive lineman Ty Robinson and cornerback Marques Buford Jr.
