Nebraska wins the first set against USC 25-12.
The USC blockers need to help the back row out so they don't get hurt.
Nebraska leads in kills, 19-9.

I regret to inform everyone that Scott Frost has a ranked win in his second stint at UCF faster than Matt Rhule does in his time at Nebraska. Over the #2 team in the country, no less.
UCF beats BYU in double OT in the craziest game of the CFB season.

UCF is doing a great job of playing like Nebraska these last two drives. Madness!!!
That was sure a strange sequence right there. You just knew something bad was going to happen to UCF there with that play calling before the kick.

The kick broke Vicente's own school record.
“Ever since I joined football, I knew my leg was going to be something special,” he said.
HC Jeff McQuinn: He's just an awesome kid. He’s just a kid you want on your team all the time…His parents raised him right."

Wow. What a game. Northwest comes back from a 10-point deficit to defeat Scottsbluff 44-37 in overtime. Zane Harb scores on the first play of overtime to give the Vikings the win. @GINWFootball @VikingsNW #nebpreps
