Nebraska quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco got right to the point Wednesday when assessing the performance of both himself and his protege.
"Both of us were piss-poor," Verduzco said of he and sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez. "He's a young guy and I'm in charge of getting him ready to go. I gotta make sure he's ready to go."
Offensive coordinator Troy Walters said Nebraska "probably had too much in" the game plan for South Alabama, echoing head coach Scott Frost. Frost said Monday the Huskers were "too scheme-y" in there preparation.
Barrett Pickering was not in uniform Wednesday as he continues to recover from a leg/hip injury.
