Nebraska at Colorado

Time: 11 a.m. | TV: Fox | Radio: 1400, 98.1

Betting line: Colorado by 2.5 points.

2:31 p.m. Final from Boulder — Colorado 36, Nebraska 14.

2:29 p.m. With one second left, Heinrich Haarberg finds Thomas Fidone for a touchdown. First career TD for both.

1:54 p.m.: Touchdown, Colorado. Tar’varish Dawson rushes for 8 yards on a slick reverse play. Two-point conversion is no good.

1:46 p.m. Ball is on the ground again, recovered by Colorado. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. This one is credited to Gabe Ervin on an awkward exchange between him and Jeff Sims.

1:41 p.m. Colorado 23, Nebraska 7. Colorado out-gains Nebraska 176-93 in the third quarter. Huskers now over 100 yards passing after Sims’ completion to Nate Boerkircher.

1:37 p.m. The Nebraska defense isn’t folding. Colorado had first-and-goal from the Husker 2-yard-line, but the Huskers force a field goal, which Jace Feely made from 30 yards out. Colorado leads 23-7, 1:20 left in third quarter.

1:22 p.m. Shedeur Sanders can throw into tight windows, and he finds one there for a 12-yard passing TD. Colorado back up by two scores, 20-7 on Nebraska, with 6:49 left Q3.

1:11 p.m. House call, Jeff Sims. The Nebraska quarterback breaks off a 57-yard touchdown run. Great play design. Sims dropped back as if to pass, then shot forward and took a wide-open lane to pay dirt.

Big moment for Sims, and obviously, the Huskers. It’s a 10-7 game with 9:50 left in the third quarter.

1:07 p.m. Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter connect for 40 yard on a third-and-15, but the Blackshirts come up big again. This time, it’s a stop on fourth down.

Nebraska takes over on its own 34.

12:41 p.m. Jace Feely makes a 32-yard field goal as time expires in the first half.

Colorado leads Nebraska, 13-10.

12:26 p.m. Jeff Sims throws his fourth interception of the season, and Colorado scores the game’s first touchdown on the ensuing play. Shedeur Sanders to Tar’Varish Dawson for a 30-yard score. Turnovers crushing NU.

Colorado leads 10-0, 2:35 left in first half.

12:18 p.m. Jeff Sims fumbles another snap deep in Nebraska’s own territory, recovered by Colorado. Huskers do well to limit to just a field goal. It’s Buffaloes 3-0, 4:20 left in first half.

12:08 p.m. Another promising Nebraska drive goes for naught. Tristan Alvano’s 45-yard kick doinks off the goalpost and misses. Nebraska’s third-down play was botched, as the snap hit Luke Lindenmeyer in pre-snap motion.

11:45 a.m. We’re scoreless at the end of one quarter. A low-scoring game with limited possessions is right where the Huskers want to be. Surprised to see NU end the first with 48 passing yards and 21 rushing yards?

11:38 a.m. Nebraska and Colorado trade three-and-outs. So far, the Husker defense is up to the task.

11:28 a.m. Nebraska brings pressure on third down, and Blaise Gunnerson’s rush forced the incomplete throw. Colorado is forced to punt from the Husker 35. Nice stand for the Blackshirts.

11:24 a.m. So far, Nebraska has a turnover in field goal range, and an offsides penalty on fourth-and-5, granting Colorado a free first down. The Huskers have also called two timeouts already. There’s 5:44 left in the first quarter.

As for the positives, Nick Henrich, who missed the opener, had a 13-yard sack of Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders.

11:15 a.m. Fumbled snap gives Colorado the ball on its own 35. Ended what had been a decent drive for Nebraska. Jeff Sims completed both of his pass attempts for 38 yards.

11:05 a.m. Colorado wins the coin toss and defers. Off we go.

10:51 a.m. The Big Noon Kickoff crew likes Colorado — by a lot. Brady Quinn, Mark Ingram, Matt Leinart and Urban Meyer all picked the Buffaloes to win by double digits.

10:46 a.m. Colorado is debuting a “turnover throne” against Nebraska this afternoon. That won’t stir up social media. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like. A black, leather throne with gold trim, seemingly for a Colorado defender to sit in after forcing a turnover.

9:38 a.m. A couple interesting freshmen who have traveled with the Huskers to Colorado: WR Malachi Coleman (could be in for more snaps), DL Sua Lefotu (didn’t travel to Minnesota), RB D’Andre Barnes (Colorado kid, didn’t travel last week).

9:08 a.m.: Colorado students giving a, ahem, warm welcome to the Huskers as they enter the stadium. NU then gathers at midfield for a brief team message.
