Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez beats seven defenders in a bid for touchdown of the year
Have you ever seen the Bo Jackson Tecmo Super Bowl run from the 80s where the famous players runs up and down the field with players diving at his feet?
Yeah, Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez just recreated the moment against Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game.
Facing a third-and-11 from deep in Nebraska territory, Martinez took the snap and was immediately chased by Wisconsin defenders. Somehow — and we're still marveling at this play — he managed to evade seven would-be tacklers on his way to a 76-yard touchdown.
The score was actually part of three touchdowns scored in a span of just over 2 minutes to start the Big Ten title game. Not sure anyone saw that coming.
