The Nebraska Cornhuskers are 2-0.

NU built a 28-0 lead in the first half and sailed the rest of the way to a 28-10 victory over Colorado. It’s the Huskers’ first win over the Buffaloes since the two were in the Big 12 Conference together in 2010.

Dylan Raiola was an efficient 23-for-30 passing for 185 yards and a touchdown. Only a few of his passes were downfield, as the offense, especially in the second half, took a conservative, no-error approach.

Dante Dowdell led the ground attack with 77 yards on 17 attempts and scored two touchdowns.

For the Blackshirts, several Huskers tied for a team-high six total tackles. DeShon Singleton was one of those six, including five solo tackles.

Nebraska had six sacks on the night by six different players. NU also had a couple of takeaways, a pick six by Tommi Hill and a forced fumble by Willis McGahee IV that was recovered by Jimari Butler.

For the Buffaloes, Shedeur Sanders completed 23 of 38 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of the targets went to Travis Hunter and LaJohntay Wester. Hunter had 10 catches for 110 yards.

Colorado finished with 16 yards on the ground.

NU stays home next Saturday to host Northern Iowa at 6:30 p.m. CDT on Big Ten Network.
