HUSKERS Halftime Check-in: 56-7 Is Off the Table…But Much Was Left On It: NEBRASKA 10 Indiana 3

The Nebraska Huskers took on Indiana in a game where the Hawkeyes dominated for much of the first half, leading 10-3 at halftime. However, it was clear that the Nebraska team was not backing down from the Hoosiers and was determined to make a comeback. The Huskers led the charge on their first possession, rolling up 66 yards and converting a 27-yard field goal to put them ahead 3-0.

Indiana's defense held strong, only allowing 115 yards overall, though 80 of those came from two pass completions that led to Indiana's tying score.

Nyziah Hunter was instrumental in the Huskers' lead, rushing for 75 yards on the second possession, extending their lead to 10-3. Freshman Jamal Rule showed his mettle on both sides of the ball, delivering a strong tackle on an Indiana defender and then being knocked around himself by the Hoosiers, only to rise again.

The Big Ten referees seemed to be having a bad day, overlooking some egregious plays that would have resulted in automatic first downs. In the first half alone, a late hit on Anthony Colandrea for a loss of 16 yards went uncalled, as well as an incident where an Indiana defender collided with Luke Lindenmeyer, allowing Colandrea to throw a pass into his back at the Indiana 7 on a late drive.

Despite this, the referee's missed calls did not dampen the determination of the Huskers, who were fortunate to get a punt to Archie Wilson for a 60-yard gain.

As the game progressed into the second half, the Huskers made their intentions clear, showing no mercy as they sought to close the gap on Indiana.
