Adrian Martinez hooks up with Samori Toure for huge gain on opening play vs. Northwestern
Nebraska is not messing around to start Saturday’s game against Northwestern, scoring early into the action against the Wildcats.
On the very first play of the game, Adrian Martinez and Samori Toure connected on what went down as a 70-yard gain. Martinez stepped up in the pocket and was able to get his pass off downfield with enough air under it for Toure to make an adjustment and pull it in.
The play went all the way down to Northwestern’s 5-yard line:
