Game notes: Blackshirts’ dominating performance all for naught; Frost frustrated by continued false start penalties | Football



NU committed seven penalties for 50 yards by halftime.

Heavy on the option: Nebraska has sprinkled the option into game plans for Fordham, Buffalo and Oklahoma.

Nebraska ramped it up against Michigan State, using several players as the pitchman, including Levi Falck, Brody Belt and Samori Toure.

Martinez scored on a counter option play to give the Huskers a 20-13 lead in the fourth quarter.

Injury updates: Nebraska welcomed back a couple of veterans on Saturday night after lengthy absences, but also played without junior wide receiver Oliver Martin for the fourth straight week.

Both sophomore defensive lineman Casey Rogers and junior offensive lineman Broc Bando appeared to be available against MSU.

Bando, who had not dressed the past two weeks for NU due to a non-COVID illness, returned to action first as part of the Huskers’ special teams units in the first half. 

Rogers missed the first four games of the season with an apparent knee injury. 

Martin, meanwhile, has an apparent knee injury and now has missed four games after leading NU with six catches for 103 against Illinois.

Frost said Thursday that he had hoped Martin would be available this week, but he’ll have to wait until at least Oct. 2 against Northwestern.
