Martinez ‘pumped’: Junior quarterback Adrian Martinez said he was humbled to be the first three-time captain in Nebraska history and “pumped” for the first game of the year against Illinois.
The quarterback said he still gets butterflies and nerves before games, but added that he’s confident in where he and the NU offense are currently and that he’s excited for the season to finally be here.
Allen ready to roll: Nebraska tight end Austin Allen said the tight ends group has had its depth tested during preseason camp, but that he likes the progress young players like Chancellor Brewington and Chris Hickman have made.
