The stat line doesn’t show it, but Riley Van Poppel balled out last football season. The Nebraska defensive lineman officially posted three tackles in five games.

Nebraska and Creighton each dropped a league series on the road last weekend. One will bounce back Tuesday night on national television. Round two of the in-state rivalry plays out under the lights at Schwab Field Omaha after poor weather moved the first meeting to an afternoon contest in Lincoln last month. It’s another game where emotions factor in more than usual — Creighton players jubilantly called Nebraska a “blue state” after their late rally two weeks ago.

One of the best Nebraska pitching performances of the season coincided with one of the lineup’s most frustrating efforts Friday night. NU starter Will Walsh cruised into the latter innings but Iowa’s Cade Obermueller matched his fellow left-hander and then some as the Hawkeyes secured a 1-0 victory at Banks Field in Iowa City. The shutout was the first for an NU offense since late in the 2023 season.

Returning starter Emmett Johnson continues to play like a No. 1 back while sophomore Kwinten Ives is building on a December of extra practices and bowl-game snaps. NU offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen said Thursday the third and fourth options — and beyond — are still fighting for separation.
