Report Card: Huskers 45, Bethune-Cookman Wildcats 9

Some good, some bad in a blowout win over a 1-AA opponent.

“Talent gap” is probably the best way to summarize this game. Nebraska raced out to a 28-3 first quarter lead, and then coasted from there. Arguably, this was a game that shouldn’t have even been played.

It wasn’t about the money; Nebraska could have simply pocketed the Akron ticket sales. It wasn’t really about bowl eligibility, unless something miraculous happens in November. And by proxy, it wasn’t about saving the first Saturday of December for a trip to Indianapolis.

In fact, scheduling Akron to return on December 1 will actually be the better thing to do from a football standpoint. It keeps the season going another eight days, with more practices. It gives banged up players a chance to recover in October, and also lets the coaches spend the weekend on the road, checking out prospects.
