lead at home against UCLA last week. Then Pelini got into a tiff with Husker quarterback great Tommie Frazier, who tweeted after the UCLA game that the defensive staff should be fired.

• The Huskers created some cushion in the second quarter. Armstrong passed 16 yards to Sam Burtch for a 28-17 lead, and after Stanley Jean-Baptist's fourth interception in four games, Kellogg hit Tyler Wullenwaber to make it 35-17.
