75: Receiving yards for Fleming in his most extensive action to date, a game-best.
33: Yards receiving for Northwestern TE John Raine, a team-best. No matter, the Wildcats still found a way to win.
102: Rushing yards for Martinez, his fourth career outing of 100-plus on the ground but the first since last September against Illinois.
1: Target for junior college receiver Omar Manning in his debut, which featured only a handful of snaps and no catches.
9: Times in 14 third-down tries that Nebraska had 9-plus yards to go. Can’t expect to have success at that rate.
1: Conversion, a scramble up the middle by Martinez.
30: Points total for Nebraska’s offense through two games.
120: Total rushing yards from running backs through two games for the Huskers on 34 carries, a 3.5 per-carry average.
316: Total rushing yards from quarterbacks through two games for the Huskers on 43 carries, a 7.3 per-carry average.
