Fresno State Vs Nebraska Score: Bulldogs Lead 17-14 At The Half

The Fresno State Bulldogs are giving the No.24 Nebraska Cornhuskers all they can handle on Saturday night, leading 17-14 at the half.

Nebraska sophomore quarterback Taylor Martinez has struggled in the passing game, completing just three of 10 attempts for 66 yards and an interception, but has 110 yards and a one-yard touchdown on the ground. The Cornhuskers have struggled on third downs, completing 1-of-7 attempts and are 1-for-2 on fourth-down conversions.

Meanwhile, Fresno State received contributions from the third phase of the game when wide receiver Devon Wylie returned a punt 67 yards for a touchdown to open the scoring. After Martinez's touchdown run, the Bulldogs drove 67 yards on 10 plays with Derek Carr breaking into the end zone to give Fresno State a 14-7 lead.

Another opportunity for the Bulldogs was negated when defensive back Derron Smith fumbled during an interception return that was recovered by Nebraska running back Rex Burkhead.

Burkhead added a one-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter, which the Bulldogs answered with a 22-yard field goal by Kevin Goessling.
