Dylan Raiola passed for 185 yards and a touchdown, Nebraska turned a dominating defensive performance into a big early lead, and the Cornhuskers went on to beat Colorado 28-10 in a game that turned into a slog in the second half Saturday night. The Huskers sacked Shedeur Sanders five times and pressured him throughout while winning the final meeting of a four-game home-and-home series. The Buffaloes had won the first three.
The Buffs also got stuffed on fourth-and-1, twice, and Tommi Hill picked off Sanders' pass from the end zone for an easy 7-yard pick-6. Dante Dowdell, who finished with 74 yards, ran for touchdowns of 12 and 1 yard, and the Huskers had good fortune when CU linebacker LaVonta Bentley bobbled what looked like a sure interception and Rahmir Johnson swiped it away for an 18-yard touchdown. The Huskers' 28-0 halftime lead was their biggest since it led Northwestern 35-7 in 2021.
