<p>On this week&#39;s Corn Nation Overreaction, Jake and Greg break down the season-opening win over the Ohio Bobcats.</p><p>49-21. Nebraska covered the spread. On paper, it looks like a big, bad victory. But if you watched the game, you may have…concerns. It wouldn&#39;t be the most unheard of thing for an upstart from the Mid-American Conference to go into a Big Ten stadium and cause a ruckus. But Ohio is a capable opponent and will likely challenge for the MAC crown (though Western Michigan may have other ideas).</p><p>Here&#39;s what it was from my eyes. A team that was locked in a battle at halftime made whatever changes they needed to to dominate their opponent in the second half. That has not always been the case with recent iterations of the Huskers.</p><p>It was also a coming out party for freshman Jamal Rule who ran for over 100 yards and scored three times in his collegiate debut. He was aided by a successful air attack as QB Anthony Colandrea threw for almost 300 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.</p><p>But…that defense…we&#39;ll talk about it.</p>
