Rewind: Huskers got run game going behind ‘Teddy and Nouri bandwagon,’ but much stiffer tests await | Football



Nelson worked a lot Saturday night against a pretty darn good tackle in Peter Skoronski (a second-team All-Big Ten pick as a freshman last year) and did damage. On one particular third-quarter sequence, he overpowered Skoronski twice and then beat him with speed, too. Impressive.

** Frost on Thursday referred to “ridiculous rumors” regarding his quarterback, Adrian Martinez, and the jaw injury he suffered against Michigan State. He said if people believed everything they heard about Martinez, “He probably has lupus and leprosy and smallpox and all these other things.

“He’s fine. He’s going to play.”

Frost didn’t exactly walk that all the way back after the game on Saturday, but he did hint that Martinez is playing through pain. In an interview on the field with Big Ten Network after the win, Frost said, “If people knew everything he was dealing with, they’d respect and admire him even more.”

Martinez appeared to have some rubber bands or some sort of support in his mouth during the game.

The junior quarterback, by the way, already has a career-best nine touchdown runs this year after three in the first quarter on Saturday. Halfway through the season, Martinez has accounted for 15 touchdowns and four turnovers.
