66 rushing yards. 98 passing yards on 11/16 passing. 14-3 scoring advantage.
Those were Adrian Martinez’s stats after the Iowa Hawkeyes decided to fake a field goal up 28-14 with 19 minutes and 9 seconds left in last year’s matchup against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
As Kirk Ferentz said in his presser this week, “ Once he got going last year... We couldn’t stop him, we couldn’t slow him down, we couldn’t contain him.”
Since the projected weather may affect Nebraska’s passing offense, one would expect them to lean on their rushing offense especially with such a dynamic weapon in Martinez.
