    Taylor Martinez's teammates call him "T-Magic," and now Nebraska fans know why.

    Martinez ran for 127 yards and three touchdowns and passed for 136 yards in a sensational debut that led No. 8 Nebraska to a 49-10 win over Western Kentucky on Saturday night.

    The redshirt freshman's performance featured elusive and tough running along with sudden bursts of speed, the likes of which Nebraska hasn't seen for a while from its quarterbacks. He also showed he could pass a little.

    All in all, Martinez validated coach Bo Pelini's decision to elevate him over 2009 starter Zac Lee and last year's top backup, Cody Green.

    "I think I'm ready for it," Martinez said.
