Taylor Martinez threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns to Kenny Bell while becoming Nebraska's all-time passing leader in a 38-14 victory over Minnesota Saturday in Lincoln.
The Huskers (9-2, 6-1), who had to come from behind in the second half in four of its first five Big Ten wins, scored on four of their first six possessions against the Gophers (6-5, 2-5).
Nebraska can clinch the Legends Division title and a berth in the conference championship game against Wisconsin on December 1st with a win at Iowa on Friday or a Michigan loss at Ohio State Saturday.
Martinez passed 36 yards to a wide-open Bell for the Huskers' first touchdown and they later connected for a 30-yarder along the sideline.
Minnesota had 98 total yards entering the fourth quarter. Nebraska pulled its starters and the Gophers scored on MarQueis Gray's runs of 1 yard and 6 yards.
