Quarterback Dylan Raiola had a stellar game as he completed 28-of-38 passes for 293 yards and one touchdown in the blowout.

The home win at Memorial Stadium was an emotional one for the Cornhuskers as they overcome a seven-year post-season drought.

The absence was the longest among Power Four conference schools and tied for the longest in all of Division I football, according to Nebraska Public Media's Aaron Bonderson.

The win also snaps a four-game losing streak for the Huskers.

Nebraska travels to Iowa City for its final game of the season against the 7-4 Hawkeyes next Friday.
