First Quarter

The opening quarter saw the Huskers take an early lead with a touchdown, setting the tone for what would be a competitive match. TJ Lateef, Nebraska's quarterback, showcased his accuracy by completing 13 out of 15 passes throughout the game. His precision was instrumental in securing three passing touchdowns for Big Red.

In the second quarter, both teams exchanged touchdowns, but it was Emmett Johnson who stood out for Nebraska. Johnson not only contributed significantly to rushing yards but also caught two touchdown passes from Lateef. His performance helped extend Nebraska's lead to 14 points by halftime.

Third Quarter

As play resumed in the third quarter, UCLA attempted to close the gap with another touchdown drive. However, DeShon Singleton and Keona Davis were pivotal on defense for Nebraska; Singleton led with eight tackles while Davis added one sack and one tackle-for-loss that disrupted UCLA’s offensive rhythm.

Fourth Quarter

The final quarter saw UCLA making strides to level up but fell short as they could only add one more touchdown to their tally. Archie Wilson’s punting skills played a crucial role in maintaining field position advantage for Big Red during critical moments of this period.
