Neb vs Baylor Final

I know all the attention in set to next weeks big game against OU but lets take a look at the Baylor game. After the F-16's flew over and the crowd was getting pumped up that's when I knew it was game time in Lincoln. Nebraska came out fired up and took an early lead, but was shortly answered by Baylor. Going into half time I was discouraged to see the Huskers trailing 20-17. The "D" was the thing that worried me during the first half giving up a few big runs by Baylor's half back and their super fast QB Robert Griffin. I couldn't believe that Baylor was able to do that to us in the first half, but Bo must have set them strait at half because the defense shut them down the whole second half. The win over Baylor was an interesting one, with an NU blocked kick, a Safety, and a lot excellent hits in Baylor's back field, probably the most impressive being the massive hit dealt by Skers Pierre Allen that resulted in a 7 yard loss.

Ganz went 46-32 with no interceptions 3 TD's and 336 total passing. Nate Swift lead receiving with 11 catches for 121 yards and 2 TD's, the most impressive statistic about Swifts day being the record breaking TD catch that put him above NU's legendary Johnny Rogers for most receptions in school history. Lucky lead rushing with 16 touches gaining 85 yards, Lucky also had a few impressive catches resulting in 83 yards.

Leading the skers defense was Larry Asante with a total of 7 tackles and 1 sack. Suh also had 7 total tackles.

Overall the Huskers did what they had to do t get the win and push the record to 5-3 and keeping the big 12 north title in reach.
