Nebraska Football Dominates Colorado 28-0 at Halftime: Huskers Lead the Way
Written by Daly Carino
Nebraska football is making a statement in their 2024 clash against Colorado, heading into halftime with a commanding 28-0 lead. The Huskers have physically overpowered the Buffaloes on both sides of the ball, setting the stage for a dominant performance in this Nebraska vs Colorado showdown.
Blackshirts Defense Stifles Colorado
The Nebraska defense, known as the "Blackshirts," has completely shut down Colorado’s offense, limiting them to just 112 total yards, with an astonishing -17 yards on the ground. The Buffaloes have struggled to gain any momentum, thanks to four sacks on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Nebraska’s defense has forced three three-and-outs, blocked a field goal, and even returned an interception for a touchdown.
Nebraska Offense Fires on All Cylinders
On offense, Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola has been efficient, completing 14 of 17 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown. His connection with Rahmir Johnson was nothing short of spectacular, as Johnson juggled the ball before running it into the end zone. Running back Dante Dowdell has also been a force, scoring two rushing touchdowns, helping the Huskers rack up 87 rushing yards.
Key Moments of the First Half
Nebraska’s cornerback Tommi Hill set the tone with a pick-six, marking his fifth career interception and first touchdown return. This play extended Nebraska’s lead to 14-0 and highlighted the relentless pressure the Huskers applied to Colorado. Punter Brian Buschini also had a pivotal 60-yard punt, pinning Colorado at their 2-yard line, leading to Hill’s interception touchdown.
The Huskers blocked a Colorado field goal attempt, marking their fifth blocked kick in the past two seasons. Defensive lineman Ty Robinson was credited with the block and made several key plays throughout the game, including a sack and pass breakup on the first drive.
Nebraska Poised to Continue Dominance in Second Half
As the Huskers begin the second half with the ball, they are in a prime position to extend their lead and secure a major victory over Colorado. With head coach Matt Rhule leading the charge, Nebraska looks set to continue their strong start to the season.
