Nebraska routs B-CU from start

- From Miami Herald Wire Services

Adrian Martinez passed for 213 yards and two touchdowns and Devine Ozigbo ran for 110 and another score — all in the first half — and host Nebraska prepped for next week’s trip to Ohio State with a 45-9 win over Bethune-Cookman on Saturday.

The Cornhusker­s (2-6) scheduled the Wildcats (4-5) of the Football Championsh­ip Subdivisio­n a month ago as a replacemen­t for the Sept. 1 opener against Akron that was canceled because of severe weather. The Wildcats earned an $800,000 guarantee.

“I’m appreciati­ve of them for coming, and I think it was great for both teams,” Huskers coach Scott Frost said. “It was the type of game we needed. I’m sure the amount of money we’re paying for them to come up is something they needed. I think both teams came out of the game really healthy, which is what both coaches wanted.”

Stanley Morgan caught seven passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns and JD Spielman ran back a punt 77 yards for a touchdown and had five receptions for 72 yards.

Bethune-Cookman started David Israel at quarterbac­k in place of Akevious Williams, who left last week’s game against North Carolina A&T with a knee injury. Israel was 12 of 27 for 196 yards and two intercepti­ons. Jabari Dunham led the Wildcats’ 10-play, 82-yard touchdown drive that Alfred Adams finished with a 5-yard run as time expired.
