**Lincoln, NE** – Nebraska football enjoyed a dominant 28-10 victory over Colorado on Saturday, silencing any doubters and backing up linebacker Mikai Gbayor’s bold pre-game pronouncements.
Gbayor, known for his confident demeanor, had publicly declared that Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of head coach Deion Sanders, was no match for Nebraska’s own quarterback, Dylan Raiola.
“You can’t compare Dylan and Shedeur Sanders,” Gbayor stated. “Don’t do that…Dylan is a different man…Just Dylan is a dog. Just know that. You’ll see on Saturday.”
Gbayor’s words proved prophetic. The Huskers, fueled by a relentless defense that sacked Sanders six times and limited Colorado to a meager 16 net rushing yards, built a commanding 28-0 halftime lead. Gbayor himself contributed six tackles before being ejected in the fourth quarter for targeting.
The dominant performance showcased a Nebraska team brimming with confidence. Raiola, playing with ample time in the pocket, completed 23 of 30 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his talent in a comfortable win.
After the game, the Huskers continued to celebrate their victory over the Sanders-led Buffaloes. Raiola even mimicked Shedeur Sanders’ signature watch-checking celebration after the game, and the team even played Sanders’ song, “Perfect Timing”, in the locker room.
Nebraska’s impressive victory solidifies their early-season momentum. The 2-0 Huskers will face their next challenge on Saturday, hosting Division I-FCS Northern Iowa at 7:30 p.m. ET.
