Game On: Storylines, players and matchups to watch (plus a prediction) for Huskers vs. Bulls | Football



107: Number of points Buffalo (62) and Nebraska (45) won by collectively last week against overmatched FCS opponents. It should be something of a different story on Saturday.

99: Forecasted high temperature for Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. Bring your sunscreen and make sure to hydrate. It’s going to be a hot one.

181: Sack-adjusted rushing yards for NU quarterback Adrian Martinez the first two weeks, good for a 9.5 yards per attempt. That includes 156 yards (highlighted by a 75-yard touchdown) from nine scrambles on, by the Journal Star’s estimation, designed passing plays.

TE | No. 11| Jr.: Allen isn’t under the radar in the typical sense, but his start to the season has perhaps slid by a bit quietly so far. After four catches for 61 yards against Fordham, Allen has six for 84 overall. Small sample size, of course, but that projects to 36 for 504 across a 12-game season. And it doesn’t really seem like they’ve fully got him going yet. He’s got a chance to have a really solid season statistically.

ILB | No. 28 | So.: Reimer is second on the team in tackles through two games with 12, though no Husker defender had more than five against Fordham as NU had the chance to empty its bench and limit reps for its top line. Reimer and his fellow inside linebackers are likely in for a heavy workload against Buffalo’s run game on Saturday. Let’s see if the playmaking ability shows up for the talented sophomore.
