Nebraska @ Campbell

Nebraska beat Campbell 40-6 at Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C., on November 15, 2024, rolling up a 34-point margin in the dual. The Cornhuskers piled up bonus points across the middle weights, turning what might have been a tight match into a lopsided score fairly quickly.

The decisive stretch came in the middleweights, where Nebraska collected multiple bonus wins. Ridge Lovett at 149 pinned Oliver Fairchild for six team points, and Antrell Taylor followed with a fall over Seth Larson, another six-point swing that put Campbell on its heels. Those back-to-back pins were the kind of finishes that swung momentum and the scoreboard.

Brock Hardy’s 17-0 technical fall at 141 added five team points and kept the pressure on Campbell, and Lenny Pinto’s 19-4 technical fall at 174 was another big-margin win that helped seal the outcome. Those tech falls showed Nebraska generating offense and shutting down escapes, turning individual blowouts into sizable team gains.

Nebraska’s run of bonus-point victories was the clear difference, with four standout matches accounting for a large portion of the Cornhuskers’ scoring. Campbell managed to pick up a few points elsewhere, but the volume of pins, tech falls, and a major decision from Nebraska left little room for a comeback. The 40-6 final reflected Nebraska’s depth and its ability to finish matches in dominant fashion.
