What a beautiful day for a football game! Nebraska played Idaho. The blue skies were probably the only thing familiar to the Idaho Vandals on Saturday morning as a sea of red engulfed the stadium. I do have to give it to the Idaho fans, they made their presence known for such a small group.
Special tribute to Sept. 11.
Husker Tyrone Fahie carries the American flag onto the playing field.
Taylor Martinez turns on the after burners in the first quarter. This guy spends half of his time in the air.
You blink and he's gone.
We have to come up with a nickname for Roy Helu.
The Nebraska defense welcomes Nathan Enderle back to Big Red country.
Ticket please for the Burkhead express!
These Vandals are pesky.
One Husker sandwich being delivered.
As photographer who's camera shoots several frames per second, I get to see frame by frame just how Taylor Martinez has the ability to leave people behind. This guy is explosive.
With this guy to compliment Martinez, you get the feeling that there are good things coming in the future.
Bo's face says it all. I think it was about who was buying the pizza that night.
The new Idaho quarterback gets the same welcome as the first.
Like I said, you blink and he's gone.
DeJon Gomes was one of the shining stars of the Nebraska defense. Here he returns a pick 6.
Lil Red checks out the cheerleaders.
So does the photographer.
Please let me know which is your favorite and why in the comment section.
Have a good week!
Cheers,
Dean
Dean you amaze me. Thanks for the updated pictures, they are again great. Have fun in Washington if you get to travel there. Cheer hard and bring home a win.

As a good high school friend of Nate Enderle...i enjoy the picture of Lavonte giving him a Big Red Welcome haha...
But the picture of Tyrone Fahie is the most powerful, and most inspiring because of the story behind it. Not many people know who Fahie is, or what his story is, and I wish that would change. HuskerNation should be honored to have him here; even if he doesn't contribute much on the field, he is such a HUGE contribution off.
Great pictures once again! GBR

Hey Dean :)
I love them all, but lil red checks out the cheer leaders is a real class bit of photo reportage lol The expression of Martinez in NU15s as he pops by is awesome!! And how about Roy Helu nickname being 'Goodbye'? as in, Helu, Goodbye, get it ;)
You really have a talent for sports photography mate - really feel the action and the story of the day..
If I didn't love you and your work, I'd be very envious :)))
