The Nebraska head coach on Thursday skirted the topic of whether Husker sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez is indeed ready physically to start against Purdue at 11 a.m. Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium. Martinez said Tuesday he felt "ready to go" after missing the past two games — both losses — with a left knee injury. I'm guessing he'll be full steam ahead against the Boilermakers, and I think he'll put up big numbers.
If Frost wasn't merely being coy, and Martinez in fact isn't quite ready to go, I still think Nebraska (4-4, 2-3 Big Ten) will light up the scoreboard against Purdue's 84th-ranked defense.
