Tuesday I talked about Adrian Martinez’ quarterback rating throughout the Illinois game. I mentioned that he was playing at a historically good level, given Nebraska quarterbacks throughout the years.
Our stats guy, Paul, was kind enough to go back and compile quarterback ratings for Nebraska signal-callers back to Turner Gill in 1982. Here’s the table:

I’m not going to say a whole lot about this.
