Badgers batter Cornhuskers in Big Ten debut

No. 8 Nebraska led No. 7 Wisconsin 14-7 in the second quarter, but the Badgers reeled off 34 consecutive points en route to a 48-17 victory at Camp Randall Stadium.

In a battle of top-10 teams in the Huskers’ first-ever Big Ten Conference game, Nebraska executed well during the first 20 minutes in front of 81,384 fans and an ABC primetime national television audience.

Taylor Martinez had 176 passing yards while completing 11-of-22 attempts but was intercepted three times during a six-minute span from late in the second quarter to early in the third period. Each was converted into a Wisconsin touchdown.

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. Wilson added 32 yards and another score on six carries for Wisconsin.

Junior I-back Rex Burkhead led the Huskers with 96 yards rushing and a touchdown on 18 carries

Commentary

Stryker

The only one who had a worse night than Martinez at Camp Randall Stadium was Tim Beck.

Tad Stryker

Shatel

Relying on a heavy dose of Martinez in the pocket is a ticket to meltdowns.

Sipple

Wisconsin exposed so many of Nebraska's deficiencies that it's hard to know where to start.

Hamar

Wilson brings a dimension to the Wisconsin offense that it’s never had.

Bob Hamar
Grand Island Independent
Bishop

The biggest mistake of all was getting away from who you are.

Chatelain

Bo Pelini and Tim Beck want to build an offense around Martinez? Fine. But stick to what the kid does well.

Husker Mike

Russell Wilson was absolutely magnificent, if not Heisman-esque.

Oates

Now, like never before, the national stage belongs to the Badgers. Nothing seems out of their reach anymore.

Wilson did pretty much anything he wanted, running or passing, and did it seemingly with ease.
