With Fyfe at QB, No. 18 Cornhuskers defeat Maryland 28-7

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Ryker Fyfe 's second career start sure went a lot better than his first. Fyfe passed for 220 yards and a touchdown while filling in for injured starter Tommy Armstrong Jr ., leading No. 18 Nebraska to a 28-7 win over Maryland on Saturday. The Cornhuskers (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten; No. 19 AP) stayed alive in the West Division. They must win at Iowa on Friday and Wisconsin must lose to Minnesota on Saturday for Nebraska to go to the conference championship game. Fyfe, who walked on in 2012 and earned a scholarship two years ago, created a lifetime memory on senior day in what will be his only start at Memorial Stadium. He said he was motivated by the opportunity to redeem himself for his five-turnover performance in his previous start, a 55-45 loss at Purdue last year. "I put a lot of pressure on myself," he said.
