LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska is using revenge as motivation for this week's Big Ten opener against Wisconsin in Lincoln.

The Badgers gave the Cornhuskers a harsh initiation into the conference last year, winning 48-17 in Madison in a nationally televised game.

Nebraska's Taylor Martinez threw three interceptions over a six-minute span of the first and second halves. He said he can't get that memory out of his mind.

Offensive lineman Jeremiah Sirles said he remembers having ``an awful feeling'' at the end of the game. He said he and his teammates ``owe'' Wisconsin.

Nebraska ended non-conference play with a 73-7 victory over FCS-level Idaho State on Saturday.

Martinez said the Huskers have rebounded from their road loss to UCLA and will be ``tough to beat'' if they keep their momentum going.
