Madison, Wis. (Oct. 1) -- No. 8 Nebraska led No. 7 Wisconsin 14-7 in the second quarter, but the Badgers turned three interceptions into three touchdowns en route to a 48-17 victory at Camp Randall Stadium Saturday. In a battle of top-10 teams in the Huskers’ first-ever Big Ten Conference game, the Huskers executed well during the first 20 minutes in front of 81,384 fans and an ABC primetime national television audience. Rex Burkhead led the Huskers with 96 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, while Taylor Martinez added 61 yards and a score on 20 carries. Martinez added 176 passing yards while completing 11-of-22 attempts, but was intercepted three times during a six-minute span that turned the tide. Jamal Turner led the Husker receivers with career highs of five receptions for 84 yards. Montee Ball led the Badger ground game with 151 yards and four touchdowns on 30 carries, while Russell Wilson completed 14-of-20 passes for 255 yards and two scores through the air. Wilson added 32 yards and another score on six carries for Wisconsin, as the Badgers out-gained Nebraska 486-355. Nebraska led 14-7 after a Burkhead touchdown run with 12:45 left in the half, but Wisconsin responded with a 77-yard drive as Bell scored his second TD of the night to pull the Badgers within 14-13. The Huskers maintained that 14-13 lead until Wilson connected with Jared Abbrederis on a 36-yard touchdown strike with 2:03 left in the half. Wisconsin’s third scoring drive was set up by an interception by Mike Taylor. Trailing 20-14, Nebraska had a chance to answer and regain the lead heading into the locker room and was in Badger territory before Aaron Henry snuffed out the drive with an interception. The Badgers converted in less than a minute, as Wilson found Nick Toon on a 46-yard touchdown to put Wisconsin up 27-14 with 27 seconds left in the half. But after a 38-yard kickoff return by Ameer Abdullah set the offense up at the NU 39 to start the second half, Martinez threw his third interception on the Huskers’ opening play from scrimmage in the half. The interception by Antonio Fenelus gave the Badgers the ball back at the NU 42, and they converted seven plays later on a 10-yard run by Wilson to push Wisconsin’s lead to 34-14 with 11:21 left in the quarter. Ball added his third touchdown run of the game with 2:36 left in the third quarter to push the edge to 41-14, before Maher finally stopped Wisconsin’s 34-point run with a 32-yard field goal with 13:35 left in the game. Ball put the exclamation point on the night for Wisconsin with his fourth touchdown run, this time from 15 yards out, with 5:11 left to end the scoring.

Lincoln, Neb. (Oct. 16) -- A third-quarter fumble recovery by Lavonte David sparked Nebraska to its biggest comeback in school history, as the Huskers scored 28 unanswered points in a 34-27 victory in the first Big Ten home game in Memorial Stadium history. With the Huskers trailing 27-6 in the third quarter, David stripped the ball from Buckeye quarterback Braxton Miller and recovered a fumble that set the Huskers up at the OSU 23-yard line. NU capitalized two plays later, as Martinez scored from 18 yards to pull Nebraska within 27-13. David, who led the Huskers with 13 tackles, played one of the hero roles for Nebraska, while Sean Fisher’s tackle of Miller late in the third quarter put the Buckeye quarterback out of the game and helped slow down Ohio State’s attack. The Huskers kept clawing back, as Martinez, who completed 16-of-22 passes for 191 yards and two scores, found Quincy Enunwa on a 36-yard scoring strike to cut the OSU lead to 27-20 with 1:44 left in the third quarter. The Blackshirts continued to stifle Joe Bauserman and the Buckeyes, and the Huskers tied the score on Burkhead’s career-long 30-yard touchdown reception from Martinez with 7:44 to play. Converted wide receiver Stanley Jean-Baptiste then made the biggest play of his Husker career in his first appearance as a cornerback, producing a leaping interception to give Nebraska a shot at the victory. Martinez and Burkhead capitalized again, as Burkhead, who finished with 119 yards on 26 carries, capped NU’s four-play, 78-yard game-winning drive with a 17-yard scoring burst down the Ohio State sideline with 5:10 left in the game. Burkhead, who carried 26 times, had 96 yards rushing in the fourth quarter along with his 30-yard touchdown catch. Martinez joined Burkhead in triple figures, as he finished with 102 yards and a score on 17 carries, as the Huskers had 195 yards on the ground in the second-half comeback. Nebraska’s largest comeback from a third-quarter deficit was 17 points, done most recently against Texas A&M in 2002.
