Impact Nelson found the end zone on a 24-yard pass from quarterback Dylan Raiola to open up the scoring in the first quarter, the first of the young receiver's career. The freshman saw four targets after failing to play a snap against Colorado last week, and will be hoping to earn an expanded role within the offense as the season progresses. The Cornhuskers will host Illinois for the team's conference opener on Saturday, giving Nelson an opportunity to shine against a Big Ten opponent.
