Live from Wake
Could be a wild one. In its past two possessions, Nebraska has gained 154 yards of total offense in 4 minutes, 25 seconds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wake, returning to its offensive roots, goes 87 yards on 10 runs and one pass for a score. The "Orbit" sweep, perhaps the team's signature play in Steed Lobotzke's tenure as offensive coordinator, delivered the touchdown.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Potentially good news for Duke, which appears on its way to its 22nd straight loss today: Northwestern, which comes to Wallace Wade Stadium next week, is down 24-10 to Nevada at the half in Evanston, Ill.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Huskers go 80 yards in 11 plays against a passive Deacon defense to take 13-10 lead at the half.
QB Sam Keller has now completed passes to eight receivers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surprising development: Wake was able to hit on the same play on which Kevin Marion dropped a TD pass in the first quarter. Brett Hodges rolled out and again had Marion, who hauled this one in for a 61-yard gain. Surprising in that the Huskers have been fooled twice in quick succession by the same play.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first quarter has just ended, and BB&T's naming-rights deal has been announced to the disdain of a few booing spectators. If the Deacs win today, they'll get over it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're not sure what the name of the place is, but the Nebraska Cornhuskers have a typically stout fan base in attendance. Red probably makes up about a quarter of the house.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two early mistakes have put Wake in a 3-0 hole. Brett Hodges' ill-advised pass over the middle became an interception that became a Husker field goal. On the next possession, Hodges delivered a perfect deep ball to Kevin Marion, who dropped a certain 65-yard TD.
