The Iowa State Cyclones got the wind knocked out of them early and the Huskers did their damage quickly as the 14th ranked Nebraska easily rolled to a 28-0 win.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers' offense operated on a short field for most of the first half, scoring on drives of 19 and 21 thanks to some overpowering special teams play.

Nebraska's first scoring drive needed just 19 yards to convert. Josh Bullocks blocked a Cyclone punt on their second drive, giving the Huskers the short field. Nebraska drove the distance in seven plays, with Jammal Lord dashing the final yard on a fourth down situation.

Nebraska's next scoring drive needed more distance, but fewer plays to complete. Starting at their own 21, the Huskers bolted quickly behind a 31 yard run by Lord and a 39 yard reverse touchdown run by Isaiah Fluellen.

"Isaiah’s speed is showing since he has starting playing on a regular basis for us. It is showing in the running game and it is showing in the passing game," said Husker head coach Frank Solich.

Fluellen, a wide receiver on the depth chart, was the game's leading rusher with 78 yards on five carries.

Things got worse for Iowa State on their next drive, when Demorrio Williams blocked another Tony Yelk punt. This time the Huskers' special teams didn't give the offense a chance as Josh Bullocks picked it up at the 26 and ran it in for a touchdown giving the Huskers a 21-0 lead before the first quarter ended.

The second quarter provided more headaches for the Cyclones. Their first drive ended when a fake punt pass fell short, and another died on a fumble at their own 21.

Nebraska kept up the pressure, scoring on Josh Davis' second touchdown run from one yard out.

Nebraska sent their reserves in early in the second period keeping the score set at 28-0 at the break. Iowa State's offense managed just 58 yards in the first half.

Quarterback Jammal Lord saw limited action vs. Iowa State, playing just part of two quarters. He did not return after NU went up 28-0 with 8:46 remaining in the second quarter. He finished the day with 46 yards rushing on 5 carries and was 2 of three passing for 19 yards.

Backup quarterback Joe Dailey played the remainder of the game and rushed for 55 yards on fifteen carries.

Nebraska called off the bogs in the second half. Neither team scored in the third or fourth period. The Huskers had one chance deep in Cyclone territory thwarted on a fumble.

Nebraska's defense was able to keep Iowa State under warps and held the Cyclones scoreless for the first time in 139 games. The last shutout was a 41-0 loss at Kansas on Oct. 19, 1991. The 138-game streak was the 11th-longest current streak in Division I-A, and third-longest in the Big 12.

"If you get a big old goose egg, you had a great defensive day. It feels real good," said Husker defensive end Trevor Johnson.

The Huskers piled up 282 yards rushing and 35 yards passing. Iowa State accumulated just 230 yards with 160 of those coming through the air.

The win lifted Nebraska to a 7-1 record (3-1 in the Big XII), while Iowa State suffered their sixth straight loss and 13th consecutive defeat in Lincoln
