1. Nebraska has one of the best Freshman QB’s in the country

Not many people know his name yet…but they will. Adrian Martinez is a true freshman, but his game looks polished. He was named Scott Frost’s starter in a competition over redshirt freshman Tristan Gebbia.

We will touch on it later, but this will be his first start in a college football game. Will he be up to the test? His coach certainly believes in him.
