Nebraska came right back, with Joe Ganz rolling out and hitting Nate Swift with a 20-yard touchdown pass.

Then it was game over.

Daniel, who was 18-of-23 for 253 yards, led the Tigers on three impressive scoring drives.

A personal foul and pass interference penalty helped fuel a quick 80-yard drive that Washington finished with a 3-yard run. Jeff Wolfert kicked a 48-yard field goal and Jimmy Jackson scored on a 1-yard run to end a 75-yard march.

Down 24-7 and facing third-and-14 at his own 16, Ganz tried to force a pass to Menelik Holt. But Christopher stepped in front from his linebacker spot and went in for a score.

Ganz finished 26-of-38 for 290 yards and two touchdowns, the last one a meaningless 20-yarder to Holt as time expired.

The Huskers, who hadn’t been beaten so bad at home since Oklahoma shut them out 41-0 in 1955, never gave themselves a chance to get back into the game, stalling repeatedly because of penalties or turnovers.

Daniel said he took great satisfaction in the five-touchdown margin of victory. He said a Nebraska player spit on him before the game.

“I’m not going to say who it was. He knows who it is. That’s bush league. That’s blatant disrespect,” Daniel said.

Daniel called Nebraska one of the “dirtiest” teams he’s played.

“You have to settle it out on the field,” he said, “and I think we more than did that tonight.”
