Steven M. Sipple: No reason to mince words, Martinez becomes as polarizing as Pelini

Matt Lubick didn't mince words on a hot-button topic.

"We have a lot of confidence in Adrian Martinez," the Nebraska offensive coordinator said earlier this week.

Husker head coach Scott Frost made it clear right after Martinez's four-interception blowup last week against Purdue that the junior from California would remain the starter. It's not a story, Frost said flatly. Even so, some fans wonder why Martinez even was afforded the opportunity to throw four interceptions. A quarterback often gets benched after two or three.

Other folks wonder why Frost shows such a high degree of patience with Martinez.
