Mandel on the game:

 

Power football is officially back at Nebraska -- and with it, realistic BCS championship aspirations.

 

Watching the Huskers' rushing attack flat-out bulldoze upset-minded Washington on Saturday was like taking a trip back to the '90s. Nebraska racked up 383 rushing yards in a 56-21 rout (RECAP | BOX). At one point, the Huskers rushed 19 straight times for 246 yards and four touchdowns. It was exactly how Nebraska used to beat people during its heyday, though with a modern twist: Freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez (who broke an 80-yard run en route to his third straight 100-yard rushing game) operates out of the shotgun, executing the zone read with I-backs Roy Helu Jr. and Rex Burkhead much like one of Chip Kelly's Oregon quarterbacks would. (Helu Jr. and Burkhead also ran for more than 100 yards.)

 

The Nebraska defense did its thing, too, limiting Huskies star Jake Locker to a nightmarish 4-of-20, 71-yard, two-interception performance. (Washington can go ahead and shut down its "Locker 4 Heisman" campaign.) This was a harsh reality check for Steve Sarkisian's program, which learned it still has a ways to go in its rebuilding effort. But the more pertinent message to take away from this one is that Martinez and the Huskers are for real. That Texas game can't get here soon enough.

It was a Pac-10 crew. THIS LINK has their names. If you'd like to do some research you could find that they're Pac-10 officials. It was announced on the broadcast
