Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez left the Huskers' home game Saturday against Northwestern after he came up limping on the final play of the third quarter.
Martinez, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound sophomore, tried to run for a first down on third-and-5 from the Nebraska 13, but was tackled by Northwestern linebacker Blake Gallagher and stayed down on the turf for a couple of moments.
He was helped up by teammates, but had a heavy limp right away and hobbled off the field as the third quarter ended. He went right to Nebraska's sideline medical tent, where he was greeted by training staff.
