Nebraska Post-Game Notes
Nebraska vs. Southern Miss, Sept. 26, 2015, Memorial Stadium
5 –– Place-kicker Drew Brown connected on five field goals in the first half, tying an NCAA record for most field goals in a half. Nebraska’s Dale Klein (1985 at Missouri) and New Mexico State’s Dat Ly (1988 at Kansas) also kicked five field goals in a half.
* Brown’s five field goals tied for the second-most by a Husker, and were the most ever by a Husker in Lincoln. The school record of seven field goals (tying NCAA record) is
by Klein at Missouri in 1985. Alex Henery had five field goals at Virginia Tech in 2009.
* Brown’s was 5-for-7 on the day and his seven attempts tied Klein’s school record for attempts (was 7-for-7 at Missouri in 1985)
* The five field goals also tied a Memorial Stadium record, matching the five field goals by Penn State’s Brian Franco and Kansas’ Bruce Kallmeyer, both in 1981.
50 –– Brown’s 50-yard field goal to end the first half was a career long, bettering his 49-yard field goal at Miami last week.
5 –– Wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp caught a six-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, marking his fifth straight game with a touchdown reception. Westerkamp’s streak of five straight games with a touchdown catch is one shy of the school record of six, held by Johnny Rodgers.
11 –– Westerkamp caught 11 passes for 118 yards, setting a career high for receptions, bettering his nine catches at Michigan State last season. Today’s game marks the eighth time in school history a Nebraska player has had double-digit receptions. The 11 receptions increased Westerkamp’s career receptions total to 90 moving him from 14th to 11th on the career receptions list. Westerkamp passed Brandon Kinnie (81), Jeff Kinney (82), and Mike McNeill (82) in today’s game. Westerkamp is one reception from the top 10 on the NU receptions list.
10 –– With 118 yards receiving today Westerkamp moved into 10th place on the Nebraska career receiving yardage list with 1,381 yards. He moved past Marlon Lucky (1,379 yards) into the No. 10 position on the list. The 118 yards marked Westerkamp’s fifth career 100-yard receiving game, including two in 2015.
368 –– Quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. passed for 368 yards in today’s game, giving him four career 300-yard passing games, all in the past five games. Armstrong increased his season passing total to 1,266, making him just the second player in school history to reach 1,000 yards passing in just four games, joining Sam Keller who accomplished the feat in 2007.
* Armstrong’s 368 passing yards pushed his career total to 4,927 moving him ahead of Jerry Tagge (4,704) into fifth place on the Nebraska career passing list.
* Armstrong has passed for at least 200 yards in seven straight games, three shy of the school record of 10 games with 200-plus passing yards (Joe Ganz).
* Armstrong passed for two touchdowns in today’s game, his 10th straight game with at least one touchdown pass. The school record is 11 games by Zac Taylor (twice) and
Joe Ganz (once). Armstrong has thrown for multiple touchdowns in six straight games.
* Armstrong accounted for career-high 431 yards of total offense (previous high was 422 in the 2014 Holiday Bowl) to increase his career total offense to 5,952 yards. He moved past Zac Taylor (5,777 yards) into third place
on the NU career list in today’s game. It was Armstrong’s seventh career 300-yard total offense game.
368–– Nebraska passed for 368 yards in today’s game, giving the Huskers five straight games with 300 or more passing yards as a team. The streak ties a school record, matching NU’s streak of five straight games, spanning the final four games of 2007 and the season opener in 2008.
100/100–– Jordan Westerkamp (118) and Brandon Reilly (112) each topped 100 yards receiving in today’s game. The last time Nebraska has had a pair of receivers each record 100-yards in a game was the 2014 season opener against Florida Atlantic when Westerkamp (125) and Kenny Bell (116) each recorded 100 yards receiving.
28, 53– Andy Janovich set career longs with a 28-yard rush in the third quarter and a 53-yard reception in the second quarter. He also had a 25-yard run in the second quarter, and finished the day with five rushes for 68 yards. Janovich entered the game with six career rushing yards and 29 career receiving yards.
* The 28 and 25-yard runs are the longest by a Nebraska fullback since a 48-yard run by Steve Kriewald at Oklahoma in 2004.
* The 53-yard reception is the longest by a Nebraska fullback since at least 1979.
11–– The Nebraska defense held Southern Miss to 11 rushing yards. Nebraska is allowing just 73.5 rushing yards per game, and has held its last two home opponents to a combined 30 rushing yards.
