His 106 yards against Kansas was a career high and a team high for the season. His performance against the Jayhawks included a 51-yard touchdown pass and a 49-yard reception. The 106 yards were the most for a Nebraska player in one game since Corey Dixon's six for 116 yards against Texas Tech in 1993.
