The grades: Nebraska 52, Fordham 7 | Football



Three interceptions were a bright spot, and a key to the game. JoJo Domann had one on Fordham’s first drive as the Rams threatened in the red zone, and Deontai Williams followed with a second-quarter pick as the Rams threatened again in the red zone. Williams recorded his second interception of the day in the third quarter. However, Fordham’s Fotis Kokosiulis found wide-open space over the middle on his 31-yard TD catch in the second quarter, and quarterback Tim DeMorat looked pretty comfortable in stretches. 

Another major gaffe by Cam Taylor-Britt, who muffed a third-quarter punt that he tried to field on the bounce. He was immediately replaced as the deep man by Brody Belt. On the bright side, Marquel Dismuke came up big during the second quarter with a block of a 46-yard field-goal try. Meanwhile, Brendan Franke and Kelen Meyer’s ability to boot ball into end zone on kickoffs (a combined 9-for-9 on touchbacks) is a welcome change for Nebraska. The Huskers’ kickoff return game remains a work in progress. 

Nebraska had only two penalties for 10 yards. A clean game made sense considering Fordham wasn’t able to put much stress on NU either physically or mentally.
