Martinez vows a better week of preparation for offense: 'It starts with me'

Adrian Martinez may be just a sophomore, but he’s got broad shoulders within the Nebraska football program.

The Husker quarterback on Monday reiterated his Saturday assertion that he didn’t play well enough in a 35-21 win over South Alabama during which the offense looked lethargic and largely out of rhythm.

“I think it starts with me there, and I don’t think I did my job well enough last week. That’s on me,” Martinez said. “I have to hold people to that standard. Like I said, I’ll take that responsibility because my teammates deserve better out of me, and I have to be able to bring it at a higher level.
