Down 27-6, Huskers Storm Back For 34-27 Win

  • Rex Burkhead scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 17-yard run with 5:10 left.

    Ohio State (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten) built a 27-6 lead behind freshman quarterback Braxton Miller. Miller injured his right leg in the third quarter and the Buckeyes' offense went dormant under backup Joe Bauserman.

    After Lavonte David stripped the ball from Miller, Martinez ran 18 yards for a touchdown to start the rally. He threw a 36-yard TD pass to Quincy Enunwa to pull the Huskers to within 27-20 and he tied it with a 30-yard catch-and-run to Rex Burkhead.

    Martinez ran for 102 yards and was 16-of-22 for 191 yards for Nebraska (5-1, 1-1). Burkhead ran 26 times for 119 yards.
