-Tonight---on NetFlix, not Amazon Prime or any normal networks---it’s Rams/49ers in Australia, where it will actually be a Friday

morning game time (10:35am in Australia)

-The 49ers have been in Australia for 8 days, with an arrival of September 2 nd ---while the Rams left late Tuesday night on a 15-hour

flight that will have them land in Australia on Thursday morning local time---around 27 hours from kickoff and a “lost day” due to

travel…how will that picture look for the Rams tonight?

-It’s been a few days since we saw Nebraska have just a 1-point lead at halftime and midway through the 3 rd quarter, but explosive plays by

Mekhi Nelson, Jamal Rule and Anthony Colandrea helped the Huskers to pull away with a comfortable win

-The very first play of the game went for 68 yards off the bat down to Nebraska’s 7-yard line, which Ohio then scored 2 plays later on…but the

defense certainly did play better overall in the 2 nd half despite giving up scores on 3 possessions in the first half..
