LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Zac Taylor threw two touchdown passes and
number-23 Nebraska, already bound for the Big 12 championship game,
bopped Colorado, 37-to-14.
Taylor threw touchdown passes to Terrence Nunn and Brandon
Jackson to tie Tommie Frazier's school career record of 43. Taylor
finished 19-of-28 passes for 249 yards to run his season total to a
school-record 27-hundred 89 yards. He set the record last year.
The 9-and-3 Cornhuskers brought a healthy dose of trickery.
Barry Turner, normally a defensive end, caught a touchdown pass
on a fake field goal. Tailback Marlon Lucky attempted two passes
and Nebraska converted a fourth-and-one on a direct snap to
safety-turned-running back Tierre Green.
The Huskers posted their 35th nine-win season in 38 years.
They'll take a three-game winning streak into next Saturday's Big
12 championship game against either Oklahoma or Texas.
