Frost says of quarterback Martinez: 'I don't think he'll be lax in his preparation ever again'

Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez endured what many considered to be a sophomore slump last season.

He's apparently working hard this offseason to bust out of the slump.

"I think there's some things that he's done differently this year that will give him an opportunity to be better," Husker head coach Scott Frost said Monday.

Asked for specifics, the coach said, "I think it's just his mindset and his approach. He came in his first year and had to compete for that spot, and he looked like a competitor every single day in practice."

Martinez's mindset carried into competition as the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Californian averaged a school-record 295.
