Quite a scene in the aftermath at Memorial Stadium as Colorado scores with 66 seconds to play to take victory from Nebraska, winning 33-28 in the debut of coach Scott Frost with the Huskers. Backup Nebraska QB Andrew Bunch threw twice into the end zone in the final seconds, but the Huskers could not move past the CU 21. Nebraska freshman QB Adrian Martinez left during the second-to-final drive with an apparent right knee injury.

Adrian Martinez continues to impress. Dropped a 57-yard strike perfectly into the hands of JD Spielman for his first career touchdown pass. Martinez is well on his way to one of the greatest debuts by a Nebraska QB. Crazy stuff for the first true freshman ever to start an opener here. Huskers lead Colorado 28-20.
