Nebraska’s season opener went pretty well. The Huskers blew out Florida Atlantic, 55-7, setting a Big Ten record in the process.

On the day, Nebraska totaled 784 yards of total offense, the most ever by a Big Ten team in a single game. The Huskers had 498 yards rushing–232 by Heisman candidate Ameer Abdullah–and 286 yards through the air.

Had no idea the 784 yards by Nebraska today is the most ever by a Big Ten team. #Huskers — Sean Callahan (@Sean_Callahan) August 30, 2014

While it was a record-setting day for a Big Ten team, it wasn’t for Nebraska.

Nebraska’s 710 yds is already the ninth most in school history. We still have a quarter to go. Record is 883 yards from 1982. #ThisisforCarl — Sean Callahan (@Sean_Callahan) August 30, 2014

799 total yards is No. 2 all-time. That seems more doable than 883 right now. — Sean Callahan (@Sean_Callahan) August 30, 2014

Nebraska faces McNeese State next Saturday.
