Nebraska deployed a deep defensive rotation, holding North Dakota to 205 total yards and 99 rushing yards as 36 Huskers logged snaps; key playmakers like Owen Chambliss and Jahsear Whittington anchored the effort, with multiple linemen and backs posting strong PFF grades and the unit showing depth ahead of Big Ten play.
Nebraska is 3-0 after a nonconference slate and now faces tougher Big Ten tests; the offense, led by quarterback Anthony Colandrea, has looked efficient with a strong ground game and playmakers at receiver, but turnover risk, penalties, and inconsistent execution remain concerns. The defense has shown progress with a five-sack outing against North Dakota, and the program honored Tom Osborne, but the writer cautions against overreliance on non-P4 results and says the real test starts in the next nine games.
Nebraska (2-0) hosts North Dakota (3-0) in Memorial Stadium as a heavy favorite to finish non-conference play 3-0. The piece outlines five keys: disrupt UND quarterback Jerry Kaminski, expose UND’s defense in space, clean up special teams penalties, win third-down battles, and send an early message to the Fighting Hawks. Expert predictions largely favor Nebraska, citing a strong attack led by Anthony Colandrea and a productive run game, with scores typically in the high 30s to 50s for the Huskers.
Nebraska, 2-0 after decisive wins over Ohio and Bowling Green, hosts 3-0 North Dakota at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 19 at 6:15 p.m. CT (B1G Network). NU is a 24.5-point favorite with an over/under of 51.5. UND, led by QB Jerry Kaminski and a veteran cast, will try to test the Huskers, but Nebraska is expected to pull away in the second half and cover the spread. Radio coverage is available via the Huskers Radio Network.
Nebraska hosts 3-0 North Dakota in what could be a high-scoring game, leaning on quarterback Anthony Colandrea to energize a potent offense while Nebraska’s defense must slow an efficient Hawks attack led by quarterback Jerry Kaminski and a strong ground game; the Huskers ride momentum from a 2-0 start into a Big Ten opener, but the FCS foe could push them closer than odds suggest.
HuskerOnline's Tunnel Talk delivers the latest Nebraska football updates and recruiting buzz as the team nears its non-conference finale against North Dakota.
In HuskerOnline's Ask the Expert feature, North Dakota writer Bobby Schneider shares his Saturday score projection and outlook for the upcoming game, offering his perspective on the matchup.
Nebraska heads into the North Dakota game aiming to win with discipline (eliminating penalties and clean special teams), let quarterback Anthony Colandrea continue to build momentum and make plays, and dominate both lines of scrimmage to control the game and prepare for a tougher schedule ahead.
Nebraska’s trio of Jamal Rule, Mekhi Nelson, and Isaiah Mozee has powered the Huskers’ early ground game, led by Rule’s 210 rushing yards and 3 TDs on 23 carries (plus strong receiving), with Nelson adding a receiving-threat complement and Mozee stepping up in Week 2. North Dakota counters with Charles Langama and Matt Lawson, who have combined for 409 rushing yards and five TDs, with Langama averaging 8.8 yards per carry and delivering big plays (including a 120-yard burst). The Week 3 matchup in Lincoln will test which rushing attack sustains its early-season success, as Nebraska faces a more explosive FCS backfield than Bowling Green/Ohio faced so far.
Nebraska hosts undefeated North Dakota in a high-scoring matchup, with Carriker stressing that the Huskers must maintain run-pass balance, protect QB Anthony Colandrea, win the trenches, and clean up penalties and special teams to stay undefeated.
Colorado high school science teacher Kent Hups, while volunteering on a North Dakota fossil dig after knee-replacement surgery, uncovered a 23-foot trackway of Tyrannosaurus rex footprints, offering a rare glimpse into how the apex predator moved 66 million years ago.
Paleontologists report the first known trackway of an adult Tyrannosaurus rex: a 23-foot-long series of four three-toed footprints in North Dakota’s Hell Creek Formation. 3D scans confirm the massive prints date to about 66.5 million years ago, with a stride of roughly 13 feet and a walking pace of 3.5–4.5 mph, offering rare behavioral insight beyond bones. The site, discovered in 2025 near Marmath, will have three footprints excavated and transported to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, where researchers hope to learn more about how the predator moved across its ancient landscape.
Scientists report the first known trackway of an adult Tyrannosaurus rex from North Dakota, a 7-meter-long site with four footprints about 1 meter long dating to around 66.5 million years ago. The find provides rare behavioral data from footprints (estimated walking speed ~3.3–4.5 mph) and complements bone records. Three footprints will be moved to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for study, highlighting how trackways can illuminate behavior and gait in large dinosaurs.
Paleontologists in the badlands of southwestern North Dakota near Marmarth uncovered a four-footprint trackway dated about 66.5 million years ago, marking the first known set of footprints from an adult T. rex. Each print is roughly 3 feet long with about a 13-foot stride, suggesting the dinosaur walked at roughly 3.5–4.5 mph rather than ran; researchers used high‑resolution 3D scanning to study and replicate the tracks without disturbing the site, and three of the four footprints will later be moved to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for preservation.
Archaeologists in North Dakota unearthed the first continuous trackway of a running Tyrannosaurus rex—four giant three-toed footprints spanning about 23 feet—from the 66-million-year-old Hell Creek Formation, found by a Colorado schoolteacher; the trace offers rare insight into T. rex locomotion and will be airlifted to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for study.
