Anthony Colandrea throws for 4 TDs in Nebraska's 56-7 rout of Bowling Green

LINCOLN, Neb. -- , Anthony Colandrea threw for a career-high four touchdowns, all in the first half, and Nebraska made fast work of Bowling Green in a 56-7 victory Saturday night. The Cornhuskers (2-0) beat an opponent from the Mid-American Conference for the second week in a row. They opened the season with a 49-21 win over Ohio. “Happy with the win,” coach Matt Rhule said. “That's the way we thought we should play and would play in many facets. There are still some things glaring that we have to improve. There were a lot of close games in the Big Ten today, so we were lucky we were able to address them in a game that wasn't as close.” Jacory Barney and Kwazi Gilmer caught two touchdown passes apiece as the Huskers got out to a 35-0 lead at halftime. Barney was targeted 10 times by Colandrea, and he caught eight for 115 yards.
