Will Nebraska be going against Michigan with Adrian Martinez under center? That’s still the question of the day. That and other kernels in Go Big Read.

The question every single Nebraska football fan is asking today is, “will Adrian Martinez get the start on Saturday?” The answer so far is “we don’t know.”

The only people that do probably know are Scott Frost and his staff. I don’t buy it’s still a mystery to them.

I think they know whether Martinez will play and they simply don’t want to tell Michigan. That kind of gamesmanship rarely does much more than annoy, but it’s also something that has been a part of football for a long time.

At the very least, it generates headlines. Read about it and more in this morning’s Go Big Read.
