Nebraska football’s newest starting quarterback is getting rave reviews before he plays a game. That and other kernels in today’s Go Big Read.

Just in case you weren’t sure just how hyped Nebraska football fans are about the upcoming season, let’s take a look this morning at Adrian Martinez’s press clippings. Yes he’s a talented quarterback.

He’s a talented quarterback who hasn’t played a down of college football yet. Despite his complete lack of a resume on the NCAA level, Martinez is getting high praise from a number of different circles.

Make no mistake, that’s a good thing. If people were legitimately perplexed by his being chosen as the starting that would be a bad thing. Read what people are saying and other kernels in this morning’s Go Big Read.
