Great crowd. Great atmosphere. Great game. The Huskers smoked Colorado 28-10 to improve to 2-0 on the season and look for bigger and better things in the 2024 season.

On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive deep into the win over the Buffs. One thing Dr. Rob likes so far this season is the offensive line pushing the line of scrimmage ahead four to five yards on rushing plays. And the stable of the runningbacks the Huskers have in their attack. 

But let’s also give some credit to the Nebraska defense. Getting six sacks against Colorado and holding Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter in check during prime time. (See what we did there?)

Up next is Northern Iowa. It’s a game Nebraska should win. But don’t look past the Patherns, as they are a solid FCS team, and coming off an emotional win against Colorado, this sets up to be a classic trap or letdown game.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes offense left Lincoln on Saturday with more questions than answers.

“Offensively we just couldn’t get it going today,” Sanders said in his post-game press conference. “We had some spurts and some great moments. We had some timing routes that we timed right up, but the way we started was just not indicative to who we are.”

The Nebraska football team was able to stomp out CU quickly, taking an early lead before fending off any late rallies to garner a 28-10 victory at Memorial Stadium.

“We just never got it together… It was just one of those games and days.”

Sanders added in his opening thoughts he felt the Buffaloes continued to “play catch up” in the first half after falling behind early in the game.

The contest was out of hand by the final two minutes, where Sanders pulled his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, as Nebraska led 28-10. Sanders added that he wanted to ensure that his signal caller would stay upright for another week.

“(We) were looking forward to next week. This week was over by the time he got out of the game. It was a wrap. We wanted to make sure that he’s going to be okay, so we wanted to get him checked out,” Sanders said.

The coach added that his other son, cornerback Shilo, was injured during the contest that led to him being unable to return.

Sanders continued to compliment Nebraska in his post-game thoughts, adding that his offensive line could not handle the Huskers.

“Sometimes you got to take your hat off and say ‘Hey, you got me man.’ They did that. They played a great game. They really did,” Sanders said.

Nebraska’s defense was a force all game against the Buffaloes, shutting out CU in the first half and pitching six sacks, 10 tackles for loss, a fumble recovery, and Tommi Hill’s pick-six. Nebraska coach Matt Rhule called his defense a “star” following the contest.

Penalty markers littered the second half as each team ended with over 100 penalty yards in the game. Sanders was disappointed that the Buffs were unable to capitalize on the Huskers miscues.

“We can’t do stupid stuff. We have to stop the foolishness,” Sanders said. “They won decisively. At one point, it felt like it was a flag fest.”

The coach added he did not feel the late roughing the passer penalty in favor of Dylan Raiola should have necessitated a flag, but agreed that the officials “did a great job.” Sanders finalized his press conference by saying the Huskers were vastly improved from a season ago.

“They didn’t turn the ball over. They made the plays they needed (to make),” Sanders said.
