LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) --- Jamal Rule ran for 119 yards and two touchdowns and
Nebraska finished unbeaten in nonconference play for the third straight year
with its 34-7 win over North Dakota on Saturday night.
The Cornhuskers (3-0) scored on their first two series to take control, and the
Fighting Hawks (3-1) went three-and-out four times and turned the ball over on
downs once before putting together their lone scoring drive in the third
quarter.
Nebraska held the sixth-ranked team in the Football Championship Subdivision to
205 yards and sacked Jerry Kaminski five times.
Quarterback Anthony Colandrea outran safety Avery Dixon on a 10-yard touchdown
run, diving to the end zone pylon to finish a 75-yard drive on the game's
opening series, and then Rule bulled in from the 3 to end a 90-yard march.
North Dakota managed just 68 yards and two first downs in the first half and
finished 1 of 12 on third-down conversions for the game.
Rule broke a 55-yard run for a touchdown to put the Huskers up 24-0 early in
the second half. The freshman has six touchdowns --- five rushing, one
receiving --- through three games.
Colandrea threw his eighth TD pass of the season, a 5-yarder to Quinn Clark,
and has accounted for a total of 10.
The Takeaway North Dakota: The Fighting Hawks, who lost 38-17 to the Huskers in 2022, dropped to 1-17 against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents. They had come to Lincoln averaging 50.3 points and 540 yards over three games against FCS competition. Nebraska: The Huskers have rushed for 240-plus yards in three straight games for the first time since 2014 and improved to 17-0 against FCS teams.
