Report Card: Huskers 56, Northwestern Wildcats 7

It took exactly one play to make it clear this week was going to be different.

Adrian Martinez stepped back in the pocket, rolled out to the right to escape some pressure, and heaved the ball deep, seemingly into double coverage.

Wait. We’ve seen that part before. The rest, though...

Samori Toure curled across the field, leaped and snagged the ball in front of the Northwestern safety who thought he was going to be the latest Wildcat hero against the Huskers. Toure finally was tackled at the NW 5, and two plays later, Martinez scampered into the end zone.
