Last week, not playing allowed Nebraska to move up in the AP and USA Today Coaches polls. This week, a lopsided win got them moved down in the polls. The Huskers dropped two slots in the USA Today Coaches poll to 13th, and remained in the thirteen slot in the AP poll after their 42-14 dismantling of Minnesota on Saturday. The Huskers fell one spot to 14th in the second batch of BCS rankings this season. Nebraska racked up a season-high 515 yards of total offense, including a season-best 346 rushing yards, in ripping the Gophers for the fifteenth straight time in their series. This Saturday the Huskers return to Memorial Stadium for a huge game in the Big Ten Legends Division against Michigan State, fresh off their miracle win against Wisconsin. Kickoff time has been set for 11 AM.

Broncos Come From Behind For Overtime Win In Miami
Three frantic minutes were enough to erase three and a half horrific quarters as the Denver Broncos snapped a three-game losing streak with an 18-15 overtime win against the Miami Dolphins yesterday. The Broncos came back from 15 points down in the final three minutes on two Tim Tebow touchdown passes, and won the game in the extra period on a 52 yard field-goal by Matt Prater after DJ Williams forced a fumble and recovered in Miami territory. In Tebow’s first start of the season, he misfired on 10 of his first 14 passes, but led an 80 yard touchdown march and then a 56 yard scoring drive after the Broncos recovered an onside kick. Tebow’s run on a two-point conversion with seventeen seconds left tied the score. The Broncos improve to 2-4 with the win. They host the Detroit Lions next Sunday.
