HUSKERS BLANK TROJANS
After slow start, Huskers cruise to 30-0 win over Troy State

When you're in the middle of moving to a new city and you have a shaky new connection to the Internet, and the Huskers aren't playing on TV, it makes it difficult for an east coast Husker to listen to the Nebraska-Troy State game.

All those things apply here.

I did wear my Nebraska t-shirt in Connecticut on Saturday, while in the middle of a mound of unpacked boxes, doors to fix, errands to run, neighbors to meet. The Huskers seemed very far away. Naturally, I would have made more of an effort to listen had it been a big Big 12 game.

Sorry about that Troy State fans.

I only heard a couple snippets of the game, so I'll let the ones who saw the game do the talking.

After reading and talking to people who heard the game, sounds as if Nebraska had a slow start. It wasn't until late in the 2nd quarter that Big Red was able to get up 10-0 on the Trojans.

But a strong second half and impressive defensive performance upped Nebraska's record to 5-0 heading into Columbia for a huge game with Missouri Saturday night.

Nebraska is rated nos. 7 & 10 in the major polls and the Blackshirts are enjoying national attention.
