A first happened for Nebraska in the Matt Rhule era on Saturday: The Huskers won the coin toss, took the ball and scored.

Jamal Rule’s two-touchdown, 154-yard performance against North Dakota showed why Nebraska views the freshman as a budding star entering Big Ten play.

Matt Rhule sought advice from fellow coaches and tweaked Nebraska’s halftime routine after sluggish third-quarter starts. The Huskers responded immediately, opening the half with defense and Jamal Rule’s 55-yard touchdown.

Anthony Colandrea’s gritty rushing touchdown set Nebraska’s tone, earning Matt Rhule’s praise and reinforcing the quarterback’s toughness, leadership and willingness to embrace the Huskers’ physical identity.

Nebraska’s long-maligned pass rush erupted against North Dakota, producing five sacks, constant pressure and a physical defensive performance that overwhelmed the FCS contender throughout Saturday’s 34-7 victory.

Nebraska players eagerly anticipate Michigan State and Big Ten play after three nonconference wins, believing the Huskers are prepared.

North Dakota veteran Trace Thaden finally realized his dream of playing at Memorial Stadium, returning home alongside seven other Nebraskans on the UND team — including his younger brother Tyler.

The dominant manner Nebraska has run the ball is the story of this young 2026 season, writes Tom Shatel.

Nebraska said all offseason and into nonconference play that the program used the toughness of what lies ahead as a recruiting tool, writes Amie Just. That time is now.

Here's Sam McKewon's Week 4 top 25, which includes a major shakeup in the top 10 and two new teams to the ballot. 

The future is bright for Nate Appleget, Amie Just writes, as he's already one of North Dakota's leading tacklers as a true freshman.

Across three non-conference games, Nebraska established a formula for beating up on the have-lesses of college football.

Foes offer the kind of praise Husker fans covet, Sam McKewon writes, about Nebraska football's identity, but a Big Ten schedule without training wheels will prove it true or false.
