Iowa State
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.

FILE - Iowa State running back Jirehl Brock (21) runs from TCU linebacker Shadrach Banks (19) during a 40-yard touchdown run in the first half an NCAA college football game, Friday, Nov. 26, 2021, in Ames, Iowa. Jirehl Brock arrived at Iowa State as a four-star recruit ranked as the nation's 11th-best running back prospect, and for three seasons he waited his turn behind Breece Hall. Such patience is rare nowadays with the transfer portal readily available to any player looking to bolt to another school where he can get on the field sooner.(AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, Fo;e)
