BCA Football Classic History 2002
– Huskers Scorch Sun Devils in Season Opener Nebraska scored a pair of touchdowns just 1:42 apart in the third quarter to break open a seven-point game, as the eighth-ranked Huskers opened the 2002 season with a 48-10 victory over Arizona State in the Black Coaches Association Classic. Nebraska's special teams blocked a pair of punts that led to a pair of touchdowns and a suffocating defense recorded four sacks and allowed one Sun Devil touchdown. Husker quarterback Jammal Lord picked up his first career 100-yard rushing day, carrying 17 times for 103 yards, while also completing five-of-13 passes for 35 yards and a touchdown.
