September 26 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE
ESPN
I wanted to start with something color commentator Rocky Boiman said about a Nebraska player:
"He's really starting to grow from being such a young guy."
Rocky!
Boiman also mentioned twice how he's expecting there to be Andy Janovich t-shirts available on Nebraska's campus next week, so let's keep our eyes open for that.
* Southern Miss had lost its last two times in Lincoln by a combined score of 105-33, so to only lose 36-28 on Saturday was certainly a triumph.
The Golden Eagles got the benefit of a questionable pass interference call to get within that final, eight-point margin with about seven minutes to play. But Nebraska hung on to move to 2-2.
The passing game was really the only thing that went well for the visitors, and it went really well because Nick Mullens threw for 447 yards & two TD and Nebraska's secondary was horrendous the entire game.
