The Bad: Aaron Peck

Despite holding Fresno State to just 274 yards total, there was one Bulldog player who had a big time breakout. Wide receiver Aaron Peck caught nine passes for 112 yards and a touchdown.

That TD was the only score the Bulldogs scored against the Nebraska football team. That touchdown was a score that allowed Fresno to get within 14-10 and started getting Huskers’ fans a bit nervous.

Peck also had the longest offensive play of the day for the Bulldogs. The Huskers’ defense a year ago got lit up regularly. 30 yard plays were something we saw early and often. It’s good that there was only one long play last night but Peck still made himself a nuisance for the Huskers.

Not to toot my own horn, but Peck was one of those players that I saw possibly creating a problem for Nebraska. It turns out the defense and the Huskers’ offense managed to make the game Peck had insignificant but he was still able to put up some good numbers. Against a team like Oregon, the Huskers are going to have to iron out their lapses.

KeeSean Johnson gets honorary mention for this spot, considering he had a pretty good game as well.
