Husker Notes: Martinez Eager To Return at QB

Dark hair, about 225 pounds.

That, in case you're wondering, is how Adrian Martinez is looking this week.

It's how Nebraska coach Scott Frost answered a reporter's question about Martinez on Thursday, and it drew some chuckles.

Of course, that's Frost's way of saying he's not talking about injuries, as is normally the case, so nobody knows for certain whether Martinez, who hasn't played in 4 week because of a knee injury, will play Saturday when Nebraska travels to Purdue.

Martinez, knowing his status is at the mercy of his athletic trainers and coaches, says he's ready, for what it's worth.
