  Nebraska ended a four-game skid and kept alive its hope of becoming bowl eligible by defeating mistake-prone Maryland 54-7 Saturday behind a standout performance by quarterback Adrian Martinez. The Cornhuskers (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten) took a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and coasted to their first victory since Oct. 5. With a win at home against Iowa on Friday in the regular-season finale, Nebraska will become eligible for a bowl bid for the first time since 2016. Martinez ran for 94 yards and a score and went 16 for 25 for 194 yards and two touchdowns, both to JD Spielman. He was taken out in the third quarter with the score 44-0.

The defense deserves some credit, too. Maryland (3-8, 1-7) could muster only 206 yards and nine first downs in its sixth straight defeat. A 58-yard touchdown run by Javon Leake with 3:13 remaining ruined Nebraska's bid for its first shutout since a 33-0 rout of Arizona in the 2009 Holiday Bowl. Maryland has absorbed many a lopsided loss during coach Mike Locksley's first season, but this one might be the most embarrassing given that the Cornhuskers had previously won only once on the road. The Terrapins lost two quarterbacks to injuries along the way, Tyrrell Pigrome and Lance LeGendre, who separated a shoulder. The bumbling Terps lost four fumbles, three by Leake, turnovers that led by 17 Nebraska points. - Nebraska/AP College Football
