Husker QB competition pits young pair Frost believes has 'it' factor, but also much to prove

CHICAGO -- Scott Frost has a timeline in mind when he and his coaching staff must know who will start at quarterback for Nebraska on Sept. 1 against Akron.

Frost, though, thinks it’s important that his team – and his quarterbacks – know who will get the first crack at the Zips well in advance of the 7 p.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium.

Martinez flashed dynamic running ability in scoring three touchdowns in April 21’ Red-White spring game, while quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco and Frost have each praised Gebbia’s steady hand and the leadership role he’s assumed in the locker room.
