Nebraska defeated Maryland 48-23 on Saturday, improving to 5-0 for the first time in a decade and setting up a chance to beat a ranked opponent for the first time in 10 years. The Huskers trailed 23-14 in the second quarter before Dwayne McDougle's 81-yard interception return for a touchdown shifted momentum, and Maryland failed to score afterward. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea contributed 108 rushing yards, while the team also recorded an interception and a blocked punt. Nebraska still faces concerns with penalties, special teams, and its running game ahead of upcoming games against Indiana and Oregon. The Huskers will host defending national champion Indiana next with Big Noon Kickoff in attendance.
