Manhattan, Kan. (Oct. 7) -- Taylor Martinez produced the best rushing performance by a quarterback in Nebraska football history as the No. 7 Cornhuskers sprinted past previously unbeaten Kansas State, 48-13. Playing in front of 51,015 fans and an ESPN primetime national audience, Martinez became just the second Big Red signal-caller to rush for more than 200 yards in a game, joining Jammal Lord who accomplished the feat twice in 2002. Martinez passed the 200-yard mark on NU’s opening drive of the second half with an 80-yard touchdown run, staking the Huskers to a 24-3 lead. Martinez finished the night with the eighth-best rushing total in school history, racking up 241 yards on just 15 carries, surpassing Lord’s quarterback rushing mark of 234 yards against Texas in 2002. Martinez had touchdown runs of 13, 35, 80 and 41 yards, while also completing 5-of-7 passes for 128 yards and a score. Martinez set up his fellow Huskers for big plays as the game progressed. On NU’s next play from scrimmage after Martinez’s 80-yard burst, he handed off to Roy Helu Jr. and the senior I-back exploded for a career-long 68-yard touchdown run. Helu notched his 10th career 100-yard effort, finishing with 110 yards on just eight carries. After KSU cut the lead to 31-6 with a 48-yard field goal, Martinez then froze the Wildcat secondary on a play-action fake and connected with Kyler Reed on a career-long 79-yard touchdown strike before scoring on a 41-yard run with 12:21 remaining to make it 45-6. While the Huskers’ explosive offense left the purple pride black and blue, Nebraska’s Blackshirts continued to deliver solid defensive football for four quarters. NU stretched its streak to eight straight quarters without allowing a touchdown before KSU got a fourth-quarter score to break the streak. Junior linebacker Lavonte David led the Blackshirts with 16 tackles, including 10 solos and two tackles for loss with one seven-yard sack. David helped keep KSU star running back Daniel Thomas in check. Thomas notched 63 yards on 22 carries, while adding 36 receiving yards on eight catches. Overall, he totaled 99 yards on 30 touches. DeJon Gomes added 12 tackles, including a TFL and a forced fumble, while Eric Hagg contributed an interception for the Blackshirts to produce the game’s lone turnover. The Huskers finished with six tackles for loss and two sacks.
