Taylor completed 36 of 55 passes for 431 yards on a day the Huskers all but abandoned their running game.
He set school records for completions and yards. Taylor's most important pass also might have been his easiest, as he found Ross alone in the flat on the winning touchdown with no defenders within 10 yards of him.
No. 24 Louisville 61, Florida Atlantic 10
At Louisville, Kentucky, Michael Bush ran for a career-high 204 yards and Louisville spoiled Howard Schnellenberger's homecoming by handing Florida Atlantic the worst loss in its five-year history.
The 71-year-old Schnellenberger was born in Louisville and coached the Cardinals from 1985-94. Bush was the first Cardinal to top 200 yards rushing since Anthony Shelman had 220 in Schnellenberger's last game as Louisville's coach, a 34-27 win over Tulsa.
Elvis Dumervil had three sacks to push his Big East-leading total to 12 and Louisville (3-1) held the Owls (0-5) to 15 yards rushing to bounce back from last week's 45-14 loss at South Florida.
