If you're like me, you wonder what goes through the mind of a young quarterback, especially one who carries as much weight as Nebraska true freshman Adrian Martinez.

Think about all he means to the Husker football program. If you're a fervent Husker fan, think about what he means to your personal happiness. Or think about it this way: If you remove him from the equation, NU would have little-to-no chance of defeating Iowa on Black Friday in Iowa City. So, thank heavens his upbringing in California provided him with a strong foundation. But also understand he's still growing as a person and player.
