The temperature soared to 104 degrees as Nebraska fans braved the blazing heat to watch the No.1-ranked Huskers open the 2000 season with a stunning 505 rushing yards. It is typical heat stuff.
People get hot and dizzy.
Several fans were transported to hospitals, and others were given cold, wet towels, lots of water and a place to cool off. This was not boring. It was a lot of fun and we had a lot of oohs and aahs from the fans when we were on the field. But we can all turn to Notre Dame because this one is done. San Jose State also showed some surprising power, with Deonce Whitaker tearing through the Nebraska defense for 147 yards - 121 of those in the first half.
