Nebraska put on an offensive display Saturday, behind the arm of quarterback Taylor Martinez. The Huskers racked up 632 total yards of offense in a 49-20 win over Southern Miss. Offensive coordinator Tim Beck says he always knew Martinez had it in him... and says the hard work he's put in paid off. (play audio :12)

Martinez threw for 354 yards and 5 touchdowns, a new career high. His passing completion rating was 76 percent... a good start to his promise of a 70-percent completion rating.
The biggest story of the afternoon, though, was the injury to Rex Burkhead. He left the game early with a reported sprained M-C-L. Running backs coach Ron Brown was pleased with how his other backs, Ameer Abdullah, Braylon Heard and Imani Cross stepped up in Burkhead’s absence. (play audio :17)

Burkhead was spotted walking past reporters after the game. He walked swiftly, but gingerly with a wrap around his left knee. Coach Beck says they will know the extent of his injury later this week.
