The Huskers wasted a prime scoring opportunity after reaching the Michigan 11 yard line early in the second half Saturday. What went wrong?
The ingredients are all too familiar to Dr. Rob Zatechka, who has seen similar scenarios unfold for the Huskers over the past several seasons.
First came the untimely mental mistake: a false-start penalty on third-and-2 at the 11.
That made it third-and-7 at the 16, where poor pass-blocking fundamentals on the offensive line led to a sack of Nebraska quarterback Heinrich Haarberg. Dr. Rob breaks it all down in this edition of Doc’s Diagnosis.
BOULDER, Colo. — Something about playing Colorado brings out the best in Nebraska’s pass rushers.
Nebraska recorded eight sacks during its 36-14 loss to Colorado on Saturday, marking NU’s most productive pass-rushing game since Nebraska sacked Colorado seven times in 2018.
more impressive that those contributions came from a variety of players.
Linebacker Nick Henrich and defensive lineman Cameron Lenhardt each recorded two sacks, making for an impressive performance from Lenhardt in his second-ever college football game.
Lenhardt is the first true freshman Husker to have a two-sack performance since Barry Turner in 2005.
