Martinez shines as Huskers collect first win

The praise for Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez were tossed around by coaches and teammates almost as frequently as Martinez connecting with open receivers during the Huskers’ 53-28 win over Minnesota Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Martinez amassed 401 total yards, accounting for four touchdowns (3 passing, 1 rushing) as the Nebraska offense put up video game numbers while picking up its first win of the season.

The 18-year old true freshman was quick to give a shout-out to teammates and coaches, saying the success wouldn’t be possible without them.

“A big credit to our coaches and the guys I have around me,” Martinez said.
