8:25 p.m.: Not the best start to the second half for Nebraska. Western Kentucky got on the board with a 25-yard field goal by Casey Tinius with 8:20 to play in the third quarter.
The Huskers, on their next possession, turned it over as Niles Paul lost a fumble after a 17-yard reception near midfield.
WKU running back Bobby Rainey then burst free for a 46-yard gain and an apparent touchdown. But Dejon Gomes caught Rainey at the 5-yard line and forced a fumble as the back fell into the end zone. Eric Hagg recovered for a touchback, a play confirmed by replay.
Still, it's 35-3 and the Huskers after Martinez's third TD run, a 15-yard scamper, dancing around defenders over the final few yards.
Gotta think Martinez is finished after gaining 127 yards on the ground.
