Start of third quarter:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Halftime Notes:

*Whop Philyor is dominating with nine catches for 107 yards. He's been the only reliable source of offense for IU.

*IU's defense can't prevent the big play to slow down Nebraska's offense.

*If IU can't get the run game going they are going to struggle even more on offense. Having only 35 rush yards--28 coming off two runs--is putting a lot of pressure on Ramsey to execute in the pass game.

*Ramsey has looked solid in the start as he's thrown for 165 yards on 15-of-19 passing. There is a real possibility that his interception at the end of the half can come back to haunt IU and be the deciding factor in the game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Ramsey takes a knee to end the half. IU trails 21-16.

*TOUCHDOWN NEBRASKA. McCaffrey finds a wide open Kanawai Noa on a 24-yard pass to give the Cornhusker the lead. Nebraska leads 21-16 with :39 remaining in the half.

*Ramsey tries to flip the ball to Philyor but is too far behind him as it is tipped and ends up as an interception.

*Nebraska goes three-and-out. Philyor takes the fair-catch at the IU 47 yard-line.

*Nebraska fumbles and Vedral is down injured. True-freshman Luke McCaffrey--Christian McCaffrey's brother--is warming up for Nebraska.

*Haydon Whitehead punts it to the Nebraska three yard-line.

*Stevie Scott rumbles for 16-yards on third-and-one to move the chains.

*Nebraska's kicker Barret Pickering misses the 32-yard field goal wide left. IU still leads 16-14. Both Justus and Pickering have missed from short distances kicking into the north endzone.
