Ingram returns, Martinez excels for Huskers
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 20 - 09 - 2010

Top-ranked Alabama and eighth-ranked Nebraska had no issues in their first road games of the college football season Saturday.
Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns in his season debut as Alabama routed Duke 62-13. It was the Tide's highest-scoring game in 19 years.
Taylor Martinez, a redshirt freshman, ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns, threw for another 150 yards and a score as Nebraska overwhelmed Washington 56-21.
At Durham, North Carolina, the Tide drew an overflow crowd 39,042 to Wallace Wade Stadium and then quickly doused any hope of an upset for the home team.
Ingram, who missed the first two games with a knee injury, took his first carry 48 yards, surpassed the 100-yard mark two carries later and scored on rushes of 1 and 17 yards.
Greg McElroy matched a career high with three scoring passes for the Crimson Tide (3-0). Alabama led 28-0 roughly 10 minutes into the game.
With Ingram and defensive end Marcell Dareus back in the lineup, the Tide won their 17th straight to roll into the SEC opener at No. 12 Arkansas next week.
At Seattle, Roy Helu Jr. rushed for 110 yards including TD runs of 65 and 8 yards as the Cornhuskers gained 383 yards on the ground against the Huskies' defense.
Nebraska (3-0) led 28-14 at halftime before Martinez took the first play of the second half 80 yards for his second score. Washington (1-2) never got closer than 14 after that. The 56 points tied the most ever allowed by Washington at home.
No. 2 Ohio State 43, Ohio 7: At Columbus, Ohio, Terrelle Pryor picked apart Ohio University's defense with a school-record 16 consecutive completions as Ohio State ran away from the Bobcats.
The victory over the turnover-prone Bobcats (1-2) improved Ohio State (3-0) to 41-0-1 since it last lost to another Ohio college, a 7-6 setback against Oberlin in 1921.
No. 3 Boise State 51, Wyoming 6: At Laramie, Wyoming, Kellen Moore threw for 370 yards and two touchdowns and Boise State's defense forced three turnovers as the Broncos extended their winning streak to 16. The Broncos (2-0) showed no signs of rust after a 12-day rest, piling up 648 total yards. They scored 37 straight points to begin the game, allowing Moore and amp; Co. to watch the final quarter from the sideline.
No. 4 TCU 45, Baylor 10: At Fort Worth, Texas, Ed Wesley ran 19 times for 165 yards and two touchdowns, and Andy Dalton completed 21 of 23 passes for 267 yards with two scores as TCU stretched its home winning streak to 16 games. The Horned Frogs (3-0) scored touchdowns on their first five drives to build a 35-3 lead and had 335 of their 558 total yards by halftime.
In other games it was: No. 5 Oregon 69, Portland State 0; No. 6 Texas 24, Texas Tech 14; No. 7 Oklahoma 27, Air Force 24; No. 24 Arizona 34, No. 9 Iowa 27; No. 10 Florida 31, Tennessee 17; No. 11 Wisconsin 20, Arizona State 19; No. 12 Arkansas 31, Georgia 24; No. 13 South Carolina 38, Furman 19; No. 14 Utah 56, New Mexico 14; No. 15 LSU 29, Mississippi State 7; No. 16 Auburn, Clemson 24, OT; No. 18 USC 32, Minnesota 21; No. 19 Stanford 68, Wake Forest 24; No. 20 Michigan 42, Massachusetts 37; No. 21 West Virginia 31, Maryland 17; No. 22 Penn State 24, Ken State 0; UCLA 31, No. 23 Houston 13; No. 25 Oregon State 35, Louisville 28.
