FILE - With his right arm in a sling following shoulder surgery earlier in the week, Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez walks onto the field during the tunnel walk before an NCAA college football game against Iowa on Friday, Nov. 26, 2021, at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. The success or failure of the Wildcats next season rests largely on whether Adrian Martinez, a four-year starter at Nebraska, is able to bounce back from offseason shoulder surgery and eliminate the interceptions and other mistakes that relegated him to mediocrity with the Cornhuskers.
