FINAL: Nebraska beat No. 20 Michigan 23-9 thanks to a tag-team effort from Ameer Abdullah and Taylor Martinez on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Martinez passed for 164 yards, while Abdullah ran for 113 yards and one touchdown.

Denard Robinson's injury didn't help matters. The Wolverine quarterback injured his throwing arm late in the second quarter and never returned.

The Cornhuskers' offense finished the game having gained 323 yards. In addition to Martinez's efforts through the air, Nebraska also rushed 41 times for 159 yards.
