Kurt Rafdal had this beauty of a grab and toe-tap for the first score of the game.
Originally, it was ruled incomplete.
But they eventually got it right, and @kurt_rafdal got the TD he deserved on this @HuskerFBNation highlight. pic.twitter.com/xKA879xP74

One of Martinez’s three scores on the day, he hits McQuitty over the middle for his first passing touchdown in a Nebraska uniform (kinda).

Then Martinez juked linebacker Andrew Ward out of his shoes for his fourth touchdown of the day.

Derek is a newbie on the Hail Varsity staff covering Husker athletics. In college, he was best known as ‘that guy from Twitter.’ He has covered a Sugar Bowl, a tennis national championship and almost everything in between (except an NCAA men’s basketball tournament game… *tears*). In his spare time, he can be found arguing with literally anyone about sports.
