Adrian Martinez leaves game against Michigan State due to injury

Cornhuskers quarterback Adrian Martinez had to leave the game early against Michigan State.

Martinez took a big hit on 3rd down but ended up walking out under his own power.

Martinez came off on his own. #Huskers punting, so the fourth-year starter will have a bit of time to recover if it isn't serious.

Martinez has since been transferred to the locker room for further evaluation:

***UPDATE*** Martinez was reinserted to action with just over a minute remaining in the first quarter. Hopefully, he is able to finish the night on the field.

If Martinez is ruled out for the game, it would be a big hit to their chances of winning as he’s been their best player on offense this season. He came into this game with 1,017 yards ing with 5 touchdowns to 1 interception.

Martinez didn’t attempt a throw on that drive as the Cornhuskers ran only running plays.

The game is currently still in the 1st quarter and it’s being televised by FS1.
