TJ Lateef, in his first start, looked smooth and poised — 13-of-15 for 205 yards, three touchdowns, and an 87 percent completion rate. Emmett Johnson once again carried the load with 129 yards rushing, 103 receiving, and three total touchdowns.
Still, why was it so hard?
Why do the Huskers stall in the second half?
And why does Matt Rhule keep burning timeouts on doomed challenges?
Jon Johnston breaks it all down — from Nebraska’s “NFL-style” game management to the late-game drive that sealed it. The defense gave up yardage but only 21 points, good enough to win two straight weeks.

• What changed that suddenly let Husker receivers get open?
• Can this team climb from good to great before the Penn State trip?
