Game notes: Huskers find answers on kickoffs; Smothers makes debut at QB; big day for Brewington | Football



From the infirmary: Nebraska was again without junior tight end Travis Vokolek and sophomore defensive lineman Casey Rogers, who was on the sideline with a sleeve over his left knee.

A couple of other defensive linemen were out, too, in walk-on Colton Feist and redshirt freshman Mosai Newsom.

The biggest addition to the list was junior receiver Oliver Martin, who did not appear to be on the sideline during the game.

“Oliver has a little injury, we decided to hold him this week, but it’s not anything that’ll keep him out a long time,” Frost said after the game.

Greenhagan impresses Huskers: Markese Stepp brought up Ryan Greenhagan on his own before he knew exactly the extent of the Fordham linebacker’s exploits on Saturday.

“Forty-seven, he’s mean, boy. He made every tackle. He’s nice, for real,” Stepp said, while giving kudos to the Rams defense overall.

Greenhagan didn’t quite make every tackle, but he did make 30 (13 solo). Yeah, 3-0. A record for a Nebraska opponent and tied with Clete Pillen in 1976 against Oklahoma State for the most ever at Memorial Stadium.

“No, he didn’t. Are you for real?” Stepp said when told of the total. “Thirty? Wow. Thirty tackles. Dang, that’s a lot. He’s a monster, I’m not going to lie.”
