Sam Keller threw for 219 yards and two TDs for Nebraska (4-1,1-0 Big 12 North), which scored 28 unanswered points to takecontrol of the game.


"The bottom line is that we got up 10-0, and the game plan wasreally unfolding the way we had hoped it would," Iowa Statecoach Gene Chizik said. "The momentum swung a little bit theretowards halftime, and a few big plays turned the game aroundlater in the first half."


Two weeks ago, the Cornhuskers surrendered 313 rushing yards ina 49-31 home loss to No. 1 Southern California before needing alate rally for a 41-40 triumph over Ball State here lastSaturday.

"Our plan was to take some shots early, and we thought we couldget them to come up on the run," Keller said.


The 6-foot, 210-pound Lucky ran for 107 yards on 16 carries.

"(Lucky) had over 100 yards," Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said."We were trying to separate and get into a run-orientedattack, and he just didn't quite get there. I have to giveMarlon a lot of credit.


"He had a nice breakout run there in the third quarter thatstarted us off fast. I thought he did an excellent job scoringon that first possession."


Keller's six-yard TD toss to Thomas Lawson was the go-aheadscore, giving the Cornhuskers a lead they would not relinquishwith 1:08 left before halftime. The Arizona State transfercompleted 18-of-28 passes.


Scales ran for two scores for the Cyclones (1-4, 0-1), whocommitted three turnovers.


"I thought Jason did a really nice job tonight," Chizik said."I was proud to see him. I think he did some really good thingsand I think it took him a little while to get juiced up and geta feel for the game.


"I was real happy with him coming in there and have him play thewhole game, and he did it, and I think he did a good job."
