Nebraska verses Western Kentucky -football Sept 4 2010

Once again Nebraska football has begun!  Woooohoo, and away we go! 

What a night for a football game.  As a photographer I prefer day games for better lighting, but wow, the weather was perfect. 

Below are a selection of my favorite photos from the night. 

Here we go boys!

Here's one fella that was about to have a special night.   Taylor Martinez runs through the tunnel walk. 

   

Beauty abound at Memorial Stadium. 

 
Taylor Martinez stiff arms a defender on the third place from scrimmage to score his first Nebraska touchdown.  

Mr. Steinkuhler introduces himself to the Western Kentucky quarterback.  

  

This guy has some potential and room to grow.
 

 Rex Burkhead looks for more open field to run.   This guy is just plain fun to watch. 

 

"Catch me if you can," should be Taylor Martinez's theme song. 

   

Bending without breaking, the Nebraska defense.

 
 This is what breaking looks like! 

 

Roy Helu leaping defenders with a single bound. 

   

Niles Paul hauls in a long pass for a touchdown. 

   

Prince Amukamara shows why he's more of a king then a prince in the backfield as he goes airborne to break up a pass in the endzone. 

 A few extras:

 Gotta love the NU marching band. 

 

 
 The voice in their heads: "I wonder if Taylor has a girlfriend." 

 

Where else can you dress like this and have it be accepted as normal?

A star is born.  

 

And some stars just keep burning brighter. 

 

And some of us are just happy to go home.   If you like what you see, give me a shout out from the sidelines.  

Cheers,

Dean

Amazing pictures! Got linked her from huskermax, but i'll be sure to check back often. In the picture of all the guys painted in black, you can see my face on the very far left! haha...yes, this is the only place we are able to paint like this and have it seem relatively "normal." I'll be in that front row painted every game, so i'll try my best to say hi when you walk past! Keep up the great work! GBR

Great pictures Dean. I was at that game with my youngest son Sam. I was wondering if you were there but too hard to see who is behind all those cameras. I envy you being down on the field, always has been a dream of mine. Maybe in my next life, ha! Will be at more games so will have to look you up.
