Superior field position is never a bad thing. Against the Buffaloes, it seemed to be everything. The Huskers pinned Colorado deep for most of the first half. This helped set up a 59-yard punt return touchdown by Niles Paul and...

As a Cornhusker fan--and a huge fan of college football in general--I'm constantly coming down with cases of rivalry envy. It's most difficult in November when Pitt and West Virginia are brawling, Georgia and Georgia Tech are clean, old-fashioned hating,...
