For Nebraska, this match-up against Ohio State is their marquee game of the year. College GameDay will be there and it’s prime-time on a Saturday night, and hype hasn’t been at this level for 20 years.
On offense, the Cornhuskers (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) are led by second-year starter Adrian Martinez, who has already passed for 1,052 yards and ran for another 234, accounting for 10 total TDs (7 passing, 3 rushing) as well.
On the ground, the Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) won’t be able to focus on one back. In addition to the threat of Martinez, Nebraska has three other backs that have been heavily featured so far this season.
