Commentary

Stryker

It was not a huge win in the scheme of things, but it just felt promising.

You bet Riley wanted more from his team. More discipline, more big plays, and fewer sloppy errors.

No. 27 was everywhere Saturday night.

The final score wasn't truly indicative of how close this game felt most of the way.

Shatel

It wasn't pure Tom Osborne and Mike Corgan stuff, but man, it was close enough.

Memorial Stadium has hosted hundreds of games ... but never a day quite like Saturday.

There was a complete shift in offensive philosophy for Nebraska from what they ran a year ago in the season opener.

There will be many teachable moments from Saturday's 43-10 win.
