Nebraska wins the first set against USC 25-12.
The USC blockers need to help the back row out so they don't get hurt.
Nebraska leads in kills, 19-9.

I regret to inform everyone that Scott Frost has a ranked win in his second stint at UCF faster than Matt Rhule does in his time at Nebraska. Over the #2 team in the country, no less.
UCF beats BYU in double OT in the craziest game of the CFB season.

UCF is doing a great job of playing like Nebraska these last two drives. Madness!!!
