Adrian Martinez, an 18-year-old from Fresno, California, won the starting quarterback job to open Nebraska's season. We learned of the Husker coaching staff's decision via a full two-deep chart released Sunday morning. Head coach Scott Frost will address questions Monday during his regularly scheduled news conference.
1. Frost has said himself the quarterback position is arguably the most important in sports, which helps explain why Nebraska fans excitedly awaited word this weekend as to whether Martinez, a true freshman, had beaten out Tristan Gebbia, a redshirt freshman. There was ample anticipation. But I like that Frost released an entire two-deep chart with no comment about the quarterback race.
