LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska led overmatched University of Mary by 10 points less than five minutes into the game Tuesday on its way to a 70-38 win in a game that gave the Huskers bench the opportunity to play more than half the minutes.That was key for a team that has only five experienced players on the roster, all of whom start.It was good for them to get a feel for what the game is like, said Michael Jacobsen, who led the Huskers with 10 points. Weve been practicing for about two months now. Its hard when you go against each other so much. ... In the game its a totally different feel. I think its good for them to get their minutes and just figure out their roles.All five of Nebraskas non-starters played at least 20 minutes and combined for 30 points with each making at least a field goal. That was a marked improvement from Sundays home opener against Sacramento State in which the Nebraska bench made just two field goals and contributed only nine points.It was really, really important, said Isaiah Roby, who came off the bench to score seven points in 24 minutes. Obviously, we have to execute stuff against other people and also just getting tired. All of us were dripping sweat. ... He (Nebraska coach Tim Miles) kind of challenged us to step our game up tonight. We still have a lot to work on obviously ... but I think we stepped up a little bit more.Nebraska (2-0) was never challenged by the NCAA Division II school from North Dakota that is Miles alma mater. Nebraska went up by 12-2 on Jack McVeighs 3-pointer at the 15:18 mark and stretched the lead to 30-8 on another of McVeighs 3s with 5:52 left in the first half.Mary (0-3) cut the Nebraska lead to 15 on Damonta Henrys 3-pointer that opened the second half. But the Huskers quickly pushed the lead over 20, going up 41-19 on McVeighs 3-pointer with 17:37 left. Nebraskas largest lead was 32.The Marauders struggled against the Nebraska defense, hitting just 7 of 28 shots in the first half and finished 29 percent from the field. The bigger, stronger Huskers also dominated on the boards, outrebounding Mary 45-21Nebraska hit 50 percent of its shots, but committed 17 turnoversMary played in front of the largest crowd it will likely see this season (8,459). Attendance at Marauder games, home and on the road, averages about 1,000. That should work to Marys advantage, said coach Joe Kittell.Theres not going to be any atmosphere thats going to be more hostile than this, Kittell said. Our guys understand that, played in it, and it shouldnt bother us anymore. Really excited about this group, I know were zero and three right now but there are a lot of good kids out there. They want to win, they want to get better.BIG PICTURENebraska: Miles said the relatively low score and margin of victory can be attributed to Marys strategy of running down the shot clock on offense and impatience on the part of the Huskers once they finally got the ball.University of Mary: The Marauders took full advantage of a game against a Division I foe, chartering a flight to bring fans from Bismarck to Lincoln. Those who paid $289 for the trip got lunch with Nebraska football coach Mike Riley, a tour of the athletic facilities and a dinner with Nebraska baseball coach and North Dakota native Darin Erstad.UP NEXTNebraska will host Louisiana Tech at 7 p.m. Saturday, a starting time set to avoid conflict with the Nebraska-Maryland football game at 11 a.m.Mary will return to Bismarck where it will host Yellowstone Christian Monday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When Curtis Samuel was taking a subway -- after taking the bus -- to football practice in high school, he never doubted he was talented enough to play at a top program such has Ohio State.His only concern was whether the Buckeyes would find him in Brooklyn.With the help of a family that kept his priorities straight and a well-connected high school coach, Samuel went from hearing the rumble of the elevated subway train next to Sid Luckman Field to the roar of 100,000 Ohio State fans at the Horseshoe.Samuel has emerged as No. 6 Ohio States most dangerous offensive weapon in his junior season. Playing the hybrid receiver-running back position that Percy Harvin once filled for Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer on a national championship team at Florida, Samuel is having a Harvin-type season. He is averaging 137 yards from scrimmage per game, 9.5 per touch, with eight touchdowns.That Samuel has performed so well in this role should be no surprise. He has been playing it since high school. Erasmus Hall coach Danny Landburg was first told about Samuel by Curtis stepfather, Roy Armstead, when Curtis was 7 years old and playing Pop Warner.Samuels talent was easy to spot. He was hurdling fences for the heck of it and outrunning all the other kids.I never knew I was fast. But everybody said I was fast. That was really exciting to hear that, Samuel said.For Nicole Samuel, Curtis mom, football was at first just a way to get her energetic son out of their apartment.Curtis walked at 7 months. From 7 months on he was moving around. He was flipping. He was talking a lot. He was just busy. All the time, Nicole Samuel said.Curtis older cousin, Rashaun Samuel, played football and Rashauns mother suggested to Nicole that it would be a good outlet for Curtis.He was unbelievable, Nicole said. And from then he just took off.Landburg could see a future Harvin or Reggie Bush.At first he said. `Im a running back, Landburg said. I said, `No, youre more than just a running back. His body type is not the type you want to pound 20 times a game.The 5-foot-11, 197-pound Curtis Samuel broke his ankle during practice when he was a sophomore in high school and watched from the bench at Yankee Stadium as Erasmus Hall lost the city championship. He vowed to make up for it and led Erasmus to the title as a junior.Sid Luckman Field, named after the Brooklyn native and Erasmus Hall alum who went on to become a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Chicago Bears in the 1940s, is a very different setting from those in which many four- and five-star recruits play in under Friday night lightss.ddddddddddddFirst off, most of Erasmus Halls games are played Saturday afternoon. And the best way to get to the game is mass transit. A quarterback with a decent arm could stand on the midfield logo at Luckman Field and hit the F train with a football as it rattles by every five minutes or so.Samuel said ignoring the trains was easy during games. It was harder during a four-hour practice. Its like right next to you. Its real loud.The commute from Erasmus Hall in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn to Sid Luckman is about 25 minutes, Samuel said, if the buses and subway are running on time. After practice, it was another 40 minutes to get home.Im thinking in my head, a kid from New York City is not going to get a look from a big-time school like that, Samuel said.Generally, recruiters dont find many blue chips in the Big Apple. In Samuels recruiting class he was one of two New York City players, both from Brooklyn, to make Rivals.coms list of the top 250 players in the country. The 2017 class has one New York City player in the top 250.Landburg made sure Samuel was not overlooked. He knew Meyers offense was the perfect fit for Samuels skills, and Samuel was good enough to get Meyer to come to Brooklyn.I actually love Brooklyn, Meyer said. Love the delis there. He liked it so much he went back for freshman safety Jahsen Wint, another Erasmus Hall alum.Meyer said he never worried about Samuel making the transition to Columbus.There was no doubt once you got to know ... who was surrounding him, Meyer said.Nicole Samuel said her son is fortunate to have numerous positive role models from his father, Curtis Council, to cousin Rashaun to Armstead. Though its the women in Curtis Samuels life that have been inspirational.A lot of kids dont make it out of New York City or Brooklyn just playing sports, Samuel said. Theres a bunch of other distractions they get into. My mother kept me level-headed and on the right path. I love her to death for that.Samuel calls his 28-year-old sister, Denisha, his rock and heart. Denisha calls Curtis her little big brother.I went (to Columbus) for the game (last) Saturday, and I took the bus back by myself. Hes like, `When you get back make sure you call my phone no matter what time it is, Denisha said.Samuel said he misses Brooklyn and his family -- even all those bus and subway rides.What does he like best about Columbus? I really love the fans, he said.It certainly beats listening to the F train go by.
