Nebraska Leads Penn State 27-6 At The Half

Luke McCaffrey gets the start. Nebraska starts on the WEST SIDELINE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1961.

McCaffrey leads the offense down the field with tempo and some fire. It’s nice to see. McCaffrey picked up a first down on a run on 3rd and 10 after Ethan Piper had our beloved Husker’s first false start of the game.

McCaffrey accounted for 69 yards on the first drive.

Our beloved Huskers got themselves into a third and long situation when Robinson was tackled after only a two-yard gain, but Brandon Smith was flagged for unnecessary roughness for throwing Robinson to the ground after the whistle had blown.

One play later, Zavier Betts went around the right end on a JET SWEEP for 45 yards and outraced the PSU defenders to the goal line for a beautiful, beautiful score!

The official twitter account got excited.

Penn State replaced Sean Clifford with backup Will Levis. Levis did a decent job of taking Penn State on a drive that was killed by penalty. Right guard C.J Thorpe piled on Nebraska defensive lineman Deontra Thomas, injuring Thomas. One play later, Thorpe drove a Nebraska player into the ground then laid on him a little too hard and was called for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Scoring Drive: 13 plays, 52 yards, 5:41
