PASADENA — The ease, the simplicity of how Nebraska moved downfield in Huskers quarterback TJ Lateef’s first collegiate start, was as if the true freshman had been studying for an exam and received the answers under his door the night before he took pen to paper.

In many ways, Nebraska had a game plan for how to exploit UCLA. Just look at the start of the season, the three-week more-than-slump that sunk early-season shine into doom and gloom with haphazard defensive displays against offenses that wrung the Bruins’ run defense and edge containment dry of stops.

The index of film, proof of where to attack, set Nebraska on the right track in the first half of UCLA’s 28-21 loss at the Rose Bowl on Saturday night — enough to make the Bruins (3-6, 3-3 Big Ten) comfortably second best.
