Report Card: Huskers 28, Maryland Terrapins 7

Maybe it was just me, but the vibe around Memorial Stadium Saturday just seemed . . . different. For an 11 am kickoff, the traffic on the highways and the sidewalks was much less than usual. Outside the stadium, it seemed there were hundreds of tickets available on the sidewalk, and when I got in midway through the Sam Foltz dedication, the stadium might have only been about a third full. By kickoff, the stadium seemed full-er, but it seemed there were empty seats everywhere. I had an extra ticket for my son, and there was no problem squeezing an extra person into our row – even with everybody bundled up for the cold. From what I saw and heard, my experience was not uncommon; quite a few empty seats, but the stadium looked full since everyone just spread out a bit more.

I think that malaise translated into the game itself. I thought Nebraska didn’t play badly, but considering that Maryland had been outscored 121-6 the last two weeks, I didn’t expect much of a challenge. Especially once it was revealed that the Terrapins were going to start their fourth-string quarterback, a true freshman who hadn’t played since some mop-up duty Labor Day weekend against Howard.
