Nebraska's Jamal Rule delivered a stellar performance in their 34-7 victory over North Dakota, rushing for 119 yards and two touchdowns. The Cornhuskers (3-0) maintained their unbeaten streak in nonconference play for an unprecedented third consecutive year. North Dakota, currently ranked sixth in the Football Championship Subdivision, struggled to get anything going, converting just 68 yards and two first downs in the first half.
Their lone scoring drive came in the third quarter. The Fighting Hawks' defense was also a factor, with quarterback Jerry Kaminski sacked five times. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea, on the other hand, proved to be a key playmaker, leading a 75-yard drive to score on the opening series of the game and then handing off to Rule for a 3-yard touchdown run.
Rule's rushing prowess was on full display, breaking a 55-yard run for another touchdown to put the Huskers up 24-0 in the second half. The freshman has racked up six touchdowns so far, all either rushing or receiving. With the win, Nebraska continued their impressive streak against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents, improving to 17-0 in those matchups. Next up for North Dakota is a game against Indiana State, while Nebraska will face Michigan State.
