i don't see Frost being drug into a 2 QB system. Luke will get enough playing time to stay, i think.

hard to see AM making it the whole season in this league. 

NO doesn't use Hill as a "true" 2nd QB IMHO.  He is great in his "specialist" role.  I think Luke could fit that until (if he does) become the starting QB some time in his QB career.  He would be an extra option DC's would have to plan for.  Even if he never touches the ball.  And I like that.  Find a way to get your play makers on the field.

David Cobb: Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez

Martinez became the first Nebraska freshman in program history to start a season-opener at quarterback in 2018, and he raked in the accolades for his performance under then first-year coach Scott Frost. It seemed the Cornhuskers were forming a solid foundation on which to rebuild the program.

 

Then 2019 happened. Martinez struggled — along with the rest of the offense — and Nebraska finished 5-7 after receiving a No. 24 preseason ranking. Yes, Martinez battled injuries, but that alone does not explain why his completion percentage, number of passing touchdowns and yards per game all dipped as a sophomore. There were multiple factors involved, including poor offensive line play and perhaps a lapse in focus on the part of a young player receiving national accolades.

 

Ultimately, the frustrations of 2019 should be behind him now, and with new offensive coordinator Matt Lubick arriving to provide the entire unit with a fresh start, Martinez is poised for a significant resurgence. He is too talented, and there is too much returning talent on this Nebraska team for the Cornhuskers to languish offensively again.

I think what the article said about losing focus after receiving national accolades is spot on. I can’t imagine how hard it is for a 19 year old kid to stay focused and not be feeling a little invincible after being named a heisman candidate after his freshman year. Especially at Nebraska we’re we’ve had tons of past success and are yearning to see success again.

In shedding light on struggles last season, Martinez seems to show growth

"I kind of figured out that I just really love the game of football, and that it's really not about pleasing (fans and media)," he said. "It's about the guys in the stadium with you, the guys who are going through it with you every day — the coaches, the players, the equipment guys, the nutritionists. There are so many people involved."

 

Aw s#!t, Pelini must've got to him! :ahhhhhhhh
