Social Media reacts to Nebraska’s victory over Indiana
It wasn’t the prettiest game at times, nor the most disciplined, but the Nebraska Cornhuskers recorded their second victory of the season and their first in the Big Ten on Saturday night when they defeated the Indiana Hoosiers 35-21. Mickey Joseph notched his first win as the interim head coach of the Huskers, who now hold a 1-1 record in conference play.
For the first time in quite a while, the Nebraska special-teams unit made an impact play with a punt block for a touchdown being recovered by Malcolm Hartzog. The Blackshirts, under the new leadership of Bill Bush, surrendered only 290 yards to one of the fastest-paced offenses in all of Division 1 college football.
Trey Palmer continues his record-setting season at wide receiver. The LSU transfer caught eight passes for 157 yards and one touchdown. Anthony Grant also continued to run the football effectively. The transfer running back showed his value in the second half, in particular late in the fourth quarter when he was repeatedly called on by the offensive coordinator Mark Whipple to move the sticks and run time off the clock. Grant finished with 32 rushes for 136 yards. In addition, Casey Thompson showed flashes of brilliance at times. Still, an inconsistent game consisting of multiple intentional groundings, bad sacks, and a turnover put the Husker offense in several tight spots over the night.
Nebraska now prepares for a trip to Piscataway, NJ, to take on Rutgers on Friday night. Below is the social media reaction to the Cornhusker’s big win against Indiana on Saturday.
