Official recap New Mexico may have been an unknown quantity when it came into Memorial Stadium, but the Lobos quickly got Nebraska's attention by driving 83 yards in six plays after the opening kickoff. Down 7-0, Nebraska rallied for a hard-fought 38-7 win, but not before giving up 379 total yards. Paul Miles filled in at I-back for the injured Doug DuBose and rushed for a career-high 189 yards in his first career start. SERIES HISTORY SEASON STATS | NU ROSTER
