Martinez Earns Manning Award Quarterback of the Week

Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez earned another weekly honor for his performance against Minnesota, as he was selected as the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week on Thursday.

Martinez shined in Nebraska’s 53-28 victory over Minnesota, leading a Nebraska offense that put together its highest point total ever in a Big Ten Conference game.

Martinez completed 25-of-29 passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for another 125 yards and a touchdown. Martinez’s 401 yards of total offense marked his third 400-yard total offense effort in the past four weeks and he has already tied the Nebraska career record for 400-yard games.
