Five National Championships ● College Football’s Winningest Program Since 1970 ● NCAA-Record 279 Consecutive Sellouts Huskers Square Off With Kansas in Big 12 Opener Nebraska opens Big 12 Conference play this weekend against Kansas at Memorial Stadium, after capping the non-conference portion of its schedule with a resounding 56-0 victory over Troy at Memorial Stadium on Saturday night. Game time for the Big 12 North matchup against the Jayhawks is set for 6:10 p.m., with the game televised to a national audience by FSN. The Huskers rolled up their best total offense mark in five seasons and posted their first shutout in three years to improve to 3-1 on the young season. The Huskers were impressive on both sides of the football in the game, scoring 14 points in each quarter, and not allowing Troy to mount a serious scoring threat. The victory allowed Nebraska to move up in this week’s national polls, as the Huskers are ranked 21st by the Associated Press and 21st in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Kansas will come to Lincoln with a 3-1 record after a 13-7 victory over South Florida on Saturday night in Lawrence. The only blemish on the Jayhawks’ record is a 37-31 double-overtime loss at Toledo on Sept. 15. In addition to their win over South Florida, the Jayhawks also downed Northwestern State and Louisiana-Monroe in non-league action. Nebraska will be looking to notch a 19th straight victory over Kansas in Lincoln. The Huskers also hope to get back to their winning ways against the Jayhawks as Kansas’ 40-15 win last year in Lawrence ended a 36- game Husker win streak in the series. Nebraska and Kansas will resume the longest continuous series in the nation this weekend, meeting on the gridiron for the 101st consecutive season. Nebraska Puts Together Complete Game in Rout of Troy The Nebraska offense generated nearly 600 yards of total offense, including more than 400 in the first half alone, and the Blackshirts pitched their first shutout in three seasons as NU rolled to a 56-0 victory over Troy at Memorial Stadium Saturday night. Sophomore I-back Marlon Lucky posted the best game of his career with 10 carries for career-highs of 156 yards and three touchdowns. Lucky’s night included successive career-long runs of 34, 45 and 51 yards all for touchdowns, capped by his 51-yard burst up the middle on his final carry to give the Huskers a 35-0 lead. While Lucky carried the load for Nebraska’s balanced offensive attack, senior quarterback Zac Taylor propelled the Huskers through the air, completing 14-of-17 passes for 268 yards and one touchdown, despite playing only one series in the second half. Junior wide receiver Terrence Nunn enjoyed a career night as well with his first 100-yard receiving game, which included a 67-yard catch in the first half. While Lucky, Taylor and Nunn did the most damage in the first half, I-back Kenny Wilson added a career rushing night of his own with 106 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. 2006 NeBRASKA SCHedule September 2 . . . .

Matt Herian #11Tight End | Senior | 6-5 | 245Pierce, Neb.

NU's All-Time Leader for Tight End Receptions (61) and Receiving Yards (1,228)2006 John Mackey Award Candidate2006 Preseason No. 9 Tight End in Nation (Sporting News)2006 Preseason First-Team All-Big 12 (Sporting News)2006 Preseason Second-Team All-Big 12 (Lindy’s)

Matt Herian has made a successful return this fall after redshirting in 2005 while rehabbing from a fractured leg suffered during his junior season. He leads a deep group of four Nebraska tight ends that flourishing in year three of Coach Bill Callahan’s West Coast Offense.

Herian kicked off his comeback by scoring NU’s first touchdown of the season on a 13-yard reception from Zac Taylor in the season-opening win over Louisiana Tech. With 61 yards receiving against the Bulldogs, Herian passed former Husker Tracey Wistrom to become NU’s all-time receiving yardage record holder among tight ends. He enters the Kansas game with 1,228 yards.

The following week against Nicholls State, the Pierce, Neb., native moved to within one catch of Jerry List’s NU career tight end receptions record of 61 catches set in 1972, while scoring his second touchdown of the year. He tied List’s mark with a 36-yard reception against USC. Herian’s 12 career touchdown receptions are only two off the Nebraska position record.

Corey McKeon is the leader of a strong linebacking corps that should be among the nation’s best in 2006. One year after bursting onto the scene as the Huskers’ leading tackler, McKeon has earned preseason recognition as an All-Big 12 candidate from several publications, including Athlon and Lindy’s. A year ago, McKeon led the Huskers with 98 tackles and set the Huskers’ single-season position record with 22 tackles for loss.

The Naperville, Ill., native was instrumental in a pair of strong Husker defensive efforts in the first two weeks of the season. While NU shut down the run against Louisiana Tech, allowing only 67 yards rushing, the squad denied Nicholls State from completing a pass the following week for the first time against an opponent since Oklahoma State in 1992. McKeon recorded four tackles, including three solo stops and a tackle-for-loss, while also recovering a fumble against the Colonels.

He was part of a strong performance by the Husker linebacking corps against USC. NU’s starting linebackers combined to make 28 tackles, with McKeon accounting for nine stops. McKeon and the Huskers rebounded from the loss to USC with a dominating performance against Troy featuring NU’s first shutout in nearly three years. The 6-1, 225-pound McKeon collected four tackles while the Blackshirts held the Trojans to only 140 yards total offense.

McKeon Game-by-Game in 2006Louisiana Tech—McKeon made four tackles, including two solo stops, as the NU defense limited the Bulldogs to only 67 yards rushing.Nicholls State—McKeon made four tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, and recovered a fumble. He helped the Husker defense deny an opponent a pass completion for the first time since Oklahoma State in 1992.USC—McKeon made nine tackles, including four solo stops, against the Trojans as NU’s starting linebackers combined for 28 tackles.Troy—McKeon registered four tackles and his first pass breakup of the season to help NU claim its first shutout in nearly three years.

Following a successful first season at the helm of Nebraska’s West Coast Offense, quarterback Zac Taylor ranks as one of the nation’s top signal callers as a senior, ranking third nationally in passing efficiency through four games. He was voted a captain during fall camp by his teammates, along with fellow seniors Adam Carriker and Brandon Rigoni.

Taylor began the season on the right foot with a strong opening game against Louisiana Tech. He directed an offensive attack that generated 584 yards of total offense, the most for NU since the 2002 season. Taylor competed 22-of-33 passes for 287 yards and tied a career high with three touchdown passes. For the game, he distributed passes to nine different receivers, including eight with at least two receptions. Taylor was at his best on consecutive scoring drives to end the first half and open the second half, when he combined to go 12-of-13 for 161 yards.

The Norman, Okla., native continued the strong start to his senior season by posting his finest game to date with the eighth-best day in Husker history in terms of passing efficiency against Nicholls State. He moved into seventh place on NU’s all-time passing yardage chart by completing 19-of 23 attempts for 202 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Taylor jumped into sixth place with 115 yards against USC, while scoring the Huskers’ lone touchdown on a naked bootleg run on fourth down to cut the Trojans’ lead to 21-10 early in the fourth quarter of Nebraska’s 28-10 loss.

The NU offense rebounded the following week by totaling nearly 600 yards of offense against Troy. Taylor concluded another efficient day by completing 14-of-17 attempts for 268 yards, moving him past Turner Gill and Tommie Frazier into fourth on the Huskers’ all-time career passing chart.

Jay Moore #44Open End | Senior | 6-4 | 280Elkhorn, Neb.

Jay Moore is one half of Nebraska’s impressive starting defensive end tandem. He enters his senior season following two quietly outstanding seasons as a starter. He has the size and strength not only to defend the run, but also the athletic ability to rush the quarterback.

Moore opened his senior campaign strong in the first quarter against Louisiana Tech, recording a sack against quarterback Zac Champion on the Bulldogs’ second drive of the game to force a third-and-long situation that resulted in a punt. He finished the game with two tackles for loss and one quarterback hurry. The Huskers’ early season success continued in the win against Nicholls State, when NU denied the Colonels from completing a pass, marking the first time a Nebraska opponent has failed to complete a pass since Oklahoma State in 1992.

The Elkhorn, Neb., native helped the Huskers rebound from their only loss of the season with a sack on his only tackle against Troy. Moore’s effort helped NU claim its first shutout in nearly three years.

Terrence Nunn #83Wide Receiver/Punt Returner | Junior 6-0 | 185 | Houston, Texas

2006 Preseason First-Team All-Big 12 (Lindy's)2006 Preseason First-Team All-Big 12 Punt Returner (Athlon)No. 5 on NU’s all-time receptions list (73)17 consecutive games with a reception (third-longest in NU history)

Terrence Nunn ranks as a dangerous dual threat for Nebraska in 2006 as both a go-to wide receiver and star punt returner. He is continuing to flourish in his junior season as quarterback Zac Taylor and the Husker offense continue to grow. He has been tabbed a preseason first-team All-Big 12 pick by both Athlon and Lindy’s and ranks 5th on NU’s career receptions list with 73.

The Houston, Texas, native recorded the first 100-yard receiving day of his career against Troy with 102 yards on four receptions–all in the first half–including a career-best 67-yard catch. The reception also moved him into fifth place on Nebraska’s all-time receptions list, past former Huskers Cory Ross and Tim Smith.

Nunn was Taylor’s top target in the season-opening win over Louisiana Tech, hauling in a team-high five catches for 54 yards. He also returned three punts for 12 yards in the opener before jump-starting the offense with several good returns during the following week’s win over Nicholls State. Nunn averaged 13.6 yards on five return attempts against the Colonels, while also playing a factor in the passing game with three receptions. He again jump-started the Husker offense with a 31-yard punt return to set up a first-quarter field goal that opened the scoring against USC. Nunn added two catches against the Trojans.

Nunn Game-by-Game in 2006Louisiana Tech—Nunn led the Huskers with five receptions in the season opener for 54 yards. He also returned three punts for 10 yards.Nicholls State—Nunn caught three passes for 22 yards. He helped set the Husker offense up with good field position several times on solid punt returns, notching a 13.6 yards per return average, including a season-high 27-yard return.USC—Nunn made two receptions for 31 yards.

2006 Rimington Trophy Watch List2006 Outland Trophy Watch List2006 Preseason Second-Team All-Big 12 (Lindy’s)

Kurt Mann is in his third season as Nebraska’s starting center in 2006 and will be in the running for conference and national accolades as a senior. He has been named to both the Rimington and Outland Trophy Watch Lists for this season, one year after earning second-team All-Big 12 honors as a junior. One of the Huskers’ more battle-tested veterans, Mann had made a team-high 24 straight starts on the NU offensive line before missing the win against Nicholls State due to a virus. The illness also kept him on the sideline for games against USC and Troy.

Mann and the Husker offense took a big first step in their goal of an improved running game in the season-opening win over Louisiana Tech, compiling 252 yards, the fourth-most in the Bill Callahan era. Mann and his linemates provided excellent protection for Husker quarterback Zac Taylor by allowing no sacks.

Mann Game-by-Game in 2006Louisiana Tech—The Huskers rushed for 252 yards (5.2 yards per carry) and three TDs. The NU offensive line allowed no sacks.Nicholls State—Mann missed his first start in 25 games due to a virus and did not play.USC—Mann did not play for the second straight week.Troy—Mann missed his third straight game while recovering from a virus.

Adam Carriker #90Base End | Senior | 6-6 | 295Kennewick, Wash.

2006 Preseason All-American (Playboy, Athlon, Lindy's)2006 Preseason First-Team All-Big 12 (Athlon, Lindy's)2006 Preseason Second-Team All-Big 12 (Sporting News)2006 Lombardi, Nagurski, Bednarik and Lott Trophy Watch Lists

Adam Carriker looks to be in line for a dominant senior year in 2006 after establishing himself as one of the nation’s top defensive ends last season. His unique combination of size, speed, strength and agility allows him to be an effective weapon to apply pressure to the quarterback and stop the run while taking on multiple blockers from his base end position.

Carriker opened his senior campaign strong in the first quarter against Louisiana Tech, ending the first Bulldog drive of the game with a third-down sack. Carriker later added another tackle for loss, in addition to a pair of quarterback hurries. He tied for the team lead in tackles the following week with six stops against Nicholls State while helping the Husker defense deny an opponent a pass completion for the first time since Oklahoma State in 1992.

The Kennewick, Wash., native helped the Huskers rebound from their only loss of the season with a tackle for loss among three total stops against Troy. Carriker, who added a pass breakup and a pair of quarterback hurries, helped NU claim its first shutout in nearly three years against the Trojans.

Carriker Game-by-Game in 2006Louisiana Tech—Carriker notched three tackles, two for loss, one sack and a pair of quarterback hurries.Nicholls State—Carriker tied for the team lead with six tackles, including one for a loss, while helping the Husker defense deny an opponent a pass completion for the first time since Oklahoma State in 1992.USC—Carriker made two assisted tackles and recorded a pass breakup.Troy—Carriker had one tackle for loss among his three stops, while registering a pass breakup and two quarterback hurries.

Nate Swift #87Wide Receiver | Sophomore | 6-2 | 195Hutchinson, Minn.

2006 Biletnikoff Award Watch List

Nate Swift has continued to thrive in his second season playing in Nebraska’s West Coast Offense, one year after leading the Huskers in receptions and receiving yardage as a freshman in 2005. He sits atop the NU depth chart at the “X” receiver position.

Swift helped Nebraska’s offense make a quick jump out of the gate in 2006 in the season opener against Louisiana Tech. The 2005 honorable-mention All-Big 12 pick caught three passes for 46 yards, as the Huskers topped 300 yards passing for the third time in the last two seasons. Swift also showed off his potential as a threat in the punt return game in the win against Nicholls State with two attempts for 49 yards, including a Nebraska season-high 33-yard return.

Following a two-game stretch without a reception, Swift broke out against Troy to help NU post nearly 600 yards of total offense. He made two catches for 77 yards on the Huskers’ second scoring drive, including a career-long 49-yard reception. Swift totaled three receptions for 79 yards in the game.

Lincoln (Sept. 2) --- Nebraska rolled past Louisiana Tech, 49-10, in the season-opener in front of a school-record 85,181 fans. The victory marked NU’s 21st consecutive season-opening win, the longest streak in the nation.

Nebraska threw for 332 yards and rushed for 252 more in amassing 584 total yards, the most in the Bill Callahan era. Seven different players scored a touchdown, including four Huskers who found the end zone for the first time.

In the air, senior quarterback Zac Taylor tied a career high with three touchdown passes, with each scoring toss to a different Husker tight end.

On the ground, sophomore Cody Glenn paced the rushing attack, gaining 88 yards on 13 carries. Fellow sophomore Marlon Lucky added 79 yards on 13 carries and scored his first career touchdown.

The receiving corps was busy all afternoon as 10 different players caught at least one pass. Playing in his first game since the 2004 season, senior Matt Herian made three grabs for a team-high 61 yards. Herian also became Nebraska’s tight end career receiving yardage leader after his final catch.

Preseason All-American defensive end Adam Carriker opened the game in solid fashion for the Blackshirts, as his seven-yard sack ended the Bulldogs’ first drive.

The offenses took control of the game in the second quarter as Nebraska and Louisiana Tech combined to put points on the board in the final five possessions of the first half. NU scored on a touchdown on its final three possessions of the first half and found the end zone on four straight drives from the first to the third quarter.

Game 2 Nebraska 56, Nicholls State 7

Lincoln (Sept. 9) --- The No. 21 Nebraska football team rolled to a 56-7 win over Nicholls State in a steady rain in front of 84,076 fans.

The Huskers received impressive balance for the second straight game, both rushing and passing for more than 200 yards while putting up 14 points on the board each quarter.

Nebraska’s defense silenced Nicholls State through the air, holding the Colonels to no passing yards, the first time that has been achieved by the Blackshirts since grounding Oklahoma State in 1992.

Nebraska scored on six of its first seven possessions. Senior quarterback Zac Taylor produced one of the most efficient and productive passing efforts by a Nebraska quarterback, connecting on 19-of-23 passes, including 12 straight completions in the first half, for 202 yards and four touchdowns in three quarters. Taylor’s 213.77 NCAA pass efficiency rating ranked as the eighth best day by a Husker in the Nebraska record books.

Sophomore I-back Marlon Lucky carried the load on the ground with the first 100-yard rushing day of his career with 18 carries for 103 yards and one touchdown. The big days from Taylor and Lucky helped NU achieve impressive offensive balance, as the Huskers rolled to 498 total yards, including 237 yards passing and 261 rushing yards.

Nicholls State avoided the shutout early in the fourth quarter as Grant Thorne galloped 49 yards to the NU 1 before Broderick Cole scored on the next play with 13:33 left.

Cody Glenn, who finished the day with 11 carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns, and Kenny Wilson who pitched in 79 yards and a touchdown on nine carries added fourth-quarter scores for the Huskers to produce the final margin.

Game 3 USC 28, Nebraska 10

Los Angeles (Sept. 16) --- The No. 19 Nebraska football team battled No. 4 USC to the end, but the Huskers came up short in a 28-10 loss at the Los Angeles Coliseum in front of a sellout crowd that included between 25,000 and 30,000 Big Red fans and an ABC national primetime television audience.

The Huskers showed that they planned to be in the game until the end by opening the scoring with a 38-yard Jordan Congdon field goal in the first quarter. The spark for Nebraska’s early 3-0 lead began one drive earlier, when punter Dan Titchener completed a 28-yard pass to wide receiver Todd Peterson on a fake punt to convert on fourth down and put NU in Trojan territory for the first time.

USC took a 7-3 lead on the last play of the first quarter as John David Booty hit Dwayne Jarrett with the first of two scoring connections on the night. Booty also hooked up with Steve Smith in the second quarter while compiling impressive numbers through the air. Booty finished hitting on 25-of-36 pass attempts for 257 yards and three scores. Jarrett led the Trojan receivers with 11 catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns, while Smith added six catches for 53 yards and a score.

Taylor cut the deficit to 21-10 after a nine-play, 74-yard scoring drive with his one-yard run with 12:44 left in the game. Chauncey Washington’s seven-yard run with 6:32 remaining in the game capped the scoring and secured the win for USC.

Taylor completed 8-of-16 passes for 115 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions. I-back Brandon Jackson led the Nebraska receiving unit with four catches for 36 yards, while tight end Matt Herian added one catch for 36 yards and Nunn picked up 31 yards on two catches.

On the ground, Kenny Wilson’s 46 yards on 19 totes led the Huskers, who managed 211 yards in total offense against USC, while the Trojans amassed 399 total yards.

Titchener led a solid performance by Nebraska’s special teams units, punting five times for a 38.6-yard average, including one punt of 50 yards and one downed inside the USC 20.

Game 4 Nebraska 56, Troy 0

Lincoln (Sept. 23) --- The Nebraska offense generated nearly 600 yards total offense, including more than 400 in the first half alone, and the Blackshirts pitched their first shutout of the season as the Cornhuskers rolled to a 56-0 victory over Troy.

The No. 23 Huskers improved to 3-1 on the year with the victory in front of 84,799 fans in the NCAA-record 278th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium.

Sophomore I-back Marlon Lucky erupted for the best game of his young career with 10 carries for career highs of 156 yards and three touchdowns through Nebraska’s opening drive of the second half. Lucky’s big night included successive career-long runs of 34, 45 and 51 yards that all went for touchdowns, capped by his 51-yard burst up the middle on his final carry to give the Huskers a 35-0 lead.

While Lucky carried the load for Nebraska’s balanced West Coast offensive attack, senior quarterback Zac Taylor propelled the Huskers through the air, completing 14-of-17 passes for 268 yards and one touchdown. Taylor played just over one half, giving way to backup Joe Ganz after leading the Huskers on their fifth touchdown on the opening drive of the second half.

Junior wide receiver Terrence Nunn enjoyed a career night as well with his first 100-yard receiving game, including a 67-yard catch in the first half to push him past the century mark.

The Huskers finished the night with 597 yards of total offense, including 316 yards on the ground and 281 yards passing. The Blackshirts held Troy to just 140 total yards, including just 48 yards on the ground, with Ndamukong Suh leading the way with 1.5 sacks.
