Hauls in go-ahead score Palmer caught four of his six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during Friday's 14-13 victory versus Rutgers. He also rushed one time for no gain. Impact Palmer hauled in his final target from quarterback Casey Thompson (24-of-36 passing, 232 yards, 2:2 TD:INT) for a 27-yard touchdown to put the Cornhuskers up 14-13 midway through the fourth quarter Friday. The 6-foot-1 junior has now caught a touchdown for the third game in a row after failing to haul in a score over the first three weeks of the season. While Palmer did finish third in receptions and targets behind tight end Travis Vokolek (six receptions, seven targets, 46 yards, one touchdown) and running back Anthony Grant (six receptions, seven targets, 34 yards), the wideout will continue to serve as Nebraska's top receiving option this season.
