The Huskers, coming off a fourth-quarter defeat to Indiana, travel to Oregon this week for a late kickoff against a Ducks team that has been explosive offensively despite a 3-2 record. Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said Sunday his team was disappointed by the loss but not discouraged as it prepares for another major Big Ten road test. “I think you have a team that’s angry, knows that they let one get away,” Rhule said. “We’re certainly disappointed, but not discouraged.” Nebraska is 5-1 and has trailed in the fourth quarter for only four minutes all season, according to Rhule. The Huskers will face an Oregon team that is 3-2. Their offense is averaging 458.8 yards and 41 points per game through five contests. The Ducks have been especially dangerous through the air, averaging 317 passing yards per game with 15 touchdown passes. Dante Moore leads Oregon with 926 passing yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions, while former Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola has thrown for 456 yards and five touchdowns in three games. Rhule said the Huskers must be prepared for all of Oregon’s quarterbacks and the different run-pass stresses built into the Ducks’ offense. “Their offense is their offense,” Rhule said. “They do a great job of stressing you with zone reads and RPOs and different run schemes.” Oregon’s depth at skill positions is just as significant. Evan Stewart leads the Ducks with 27 catches for 352 yards and four touchdowns, while Dakorien Moore has 18 receptions for 311 yards and four scores. Oregon also has six players with at least 150 receiving yards. That presents the clearest challenge for a Nebraska defense that has been stout overall but has allowed its share of big plays through the air. The Huskers are allowing 276.2 total yards per game and just 16.2 points per game. They have been particularly dominant against the run, giving up only 94.7 rushing yards per game and three rushing touchdowns all season. But Rhule pointed directly to Oregon’s receivers when discussing the matchup. “We’ve done a good job of stopping the run,” Rhule said. “We’ve given up explosive passes. They have explosive pass receivers, so we have to defend them as much as anything else.” Nebraska’s offense enters the week with production of its own. The Huskers are averaging 461.7 yards and 39.2 points per game, with balance that has made them difficult to defend. They average 247.8 passing yards and 213.8 rushing yards per game, while converting 52.4% of their third-down opportunities. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea has thrown for 1,406 yards and 13 touchdowns while completing 65% of his passes. He also is Nebraska’s second-leading rusher with 296 yards and three touchdowns, behind Jamal Rule’s team-high 386 rushing yards and five scores. Rhule said he does not want to limit Colandrea’s aggressive, playmaking style despite the hits the quarterback has absorbed. “If you have a Porsche, you better let it drive 180,” Rhule said. “I think it would be unwise of us to take a player like Anthony and have him not play to his full capability.” Oregon’s defense presents another formidable test. The Ducks allow 344.4 yards per game but have produced nine sacks and eight interceptions. Edge rusher Matayo Uiagalelei leads the group with five sacks, while Oregon has intercepted eight passes as a team. Rhule called the Ducks’ defensive front “elite,” noting Oregon can affect both the running game and passing game with its depth up front. The setting will add another layer. Nebraska’s kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. Central time, meaning the Huskers could finish near 2 a.m. on their body clocks. Rhule said Nebraska will move meetings, practice and meals back two hours throughout the week in an effort to help players adjust. Still, he said the game’s late start cannot become an excuse. “It’s going to come down to blocking and tackling,” Rhule said. “I want our guys to have that mindset as well.” BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT Nebraska and Oregon are both receiving votes in the latest AP poll, with the Ducks earning 86 points and the Huskers 65. For Nebraska, the trip offers another chance to prove it can finish when the game is tight — and to turn the frustration from last week into a road win. #huskers #cornhuskers #nebraska #nebraskafootball #huskerfootball ## Stats - **Views:** 162 - **Likes:** 2 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 0 ## Credits | Name | Username | Profile | Role | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Randy Silver | @randysilvertv | https://gondola.cc/randysilvertv | Reporter/Journalist | ## Tags nebraska, nebraskafootball, cornhuskers, huskerfootball, huskers --- Copyright (c) Gondola
