Seems as though any conversation about Adrian Martinez isn’t complete without reference to his age.
For the record, the Nebraska true freshman quarterback is 18.
We heard that number no fewer than 5 times at Nebraska's weekly news conference, including a couple of mentions from coach Scott Frost.
Teammates are following suit.
“Adrian is an amazing player,” Nebraska offensive tackle Matt Farniok said. “He’s an 18-year-old kid that came in and took the reins of really a good Big Ten offense.”
Perhaps players and coaches need to remind themselves of how old Martinez is for the mere fact most 18-year-olds shouldn’t look this good, this soon.
