Nebraska prepares to face Bowling Green following home loss to Tarleton State
Summary

Nebraska hosts Bowling Green this week following an uneven win against Ohio in their season opener. The Huskers look to build on their second-half performance while capitalizing on defensive vulnerabilities shown by the Falcons. Bowling Green arrives in Nebraska after a 20-13 loss to Tarleton State where the team struggled to generate a consistent run game and surrendered significant rushing yardage. Nebraska aims to strengthen its defensive front, with linebacker Owen Chambliss expected to return to the lineup to help manage dual-threat quarterback Jay Kastantin. The Huskers utilize a backfield rotation and a dual-threat quarterback to attack a Falcons defense that allowed 250 rushing yards in its previous outing. Coaches look for a more consistent start to the game compared to their performance in Week 1.
