*Helu's 152 yards, 3 TDs key Nebraska's 49-3 win*

By ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer

LINCOLN, Neb.(AP) -- Roy Helu Jr. ran for 152 yards and three touchdowns and Zac Lee passed for 213 yards and two scores in his first start as No. 24 Nebraska defeated Florida Atlantic 49-3 on Saturday night.

The Huskers won their 24th consecutive opener, the longest streak in the nation. The Owls fell to 1-16 against opponents from Bowl Championship Series automatic-qualifying conferences, including 0-7 vs. the Big 12.

Lee, who hadn't taken a meaningful snap since his last year of junior college in 2006, got sharper after a fumbled snap led to a three-and-out on Nebraska's first series.

He threw touchdown passes of 28 yards to Menelik Holt and 49 yards to Curenski Gilleylen and then led a 15-play, 82-yard drive that Helu finished with a 1-yard run.
