Nebraska running back Rahmir Johnson made the best Week 2 catch you’ll ever see on Saturday night against Colorado.
Colorado linebacker LaVonta Bentley appeared to have an interception or at least a pass breakup on a Dylan Raiola pass over middle. Instead, the ball bounced out of his hands and into Johnson’s, and he sprinted into the end zone for a touchdown.
The TD was the perfect summary of how awful Colorado’s first half was. The Huskers dominated the Buffaloes in every way, while Colorado was completely helpless.
The biggest mismatch came up front, as Nebraska consistently applied pressure against Colorado’s new-look offensive line. Nebraska was given four sacks in the first half, as Shedeur Sanders consistently had to evade Nebraska defenders in the backfield.
The Huskers also got a pick-six in the first quarter when Tommi Hill picked off Sanders for a short interception.
Thanks to the sacks, Colorado finished the first half with -17 yards rushing. Deion Sanders also revealed in his halftime interview on NBC that his son and safety Shilo Sanders may have suffered a broken forearm in the first half.
