What happened
ESPN RECAPAnthony Colandrea accounts for 4 TDs as Nebraska pulls away in 4th quarter to beat Ohio 49-21
LINCOLN, Neb. -- , Anthony Colandrea passed for 275 yards with three touchdowns and ran for a fourth, Jamal Rule ran for 122 yards and scored three times, and Nebraska pulled away from Ohio in the fourth quarter in a 49-21 victory on Saturday. Colandrea, the UNLV transfer making his first start for the Cornhuskers, led five straight touchdown drives to turn a close game into a blowout. Rule became the first Nebraska freshman running back to rush for 100 yards in an opener since 2004, ending his day with an 11-yard touchdown run. “I expected to have a pretty good game but I didn't expect to find the end zone three times," Rule said. "Surprised myself; not going to lie.” Nebraska got all it could handle for three quarters from a Bobcats team looking to get the Mid-American Conference another Big Ten pelt two days after UMass knocked off Rutgers.
