Scott Frost had a chance to get a little bit gun shy right at the start of Nebraska’s 44-8 win over Northern Illinois on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.
The Huskers started the game’s opening possession with consecutive incompletions, neither of which was particularly close, as sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez did not appear to be on the same page as JD Spielman on first down and Kanawai Noa on second down.
Instead of dialing back on third-and-10, though, Frost dialed up a shot downfield and Martinez hit Spielman for 41 yards on a post pattern that took some time to develop.
