WATCH: Nebraska releases slow motion video of Adrian Martinez injury play
Published:
The video of the play in which Adrian Martinez was injured that Scott Frost said the public had not yet seen has now been made available from Nebraska.
On Wednesday, the Lincoln Journal-Star obtained the 1:42 video that shows multiple angles of the play in which Adrian Martinez was injured. One specific angle appears to show a Colorado defender twisting the freshman quarterback’s leg after he was on the ground.
Martinez left the game in the fourth quarter and Colorado went on to defeat Nebraska 33-28. Martinez has been ruled day-to-day following the injury.
Here’s just a clip of the video, and the angle that best portrays the Buffaloes defender twisting Martinez’s leg.

Martinez completed 15-of-20 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 117 yards and a pair of scores before exiting Saturday’s game.
During his weekly press conference on Monday, Frost said that he had an angle that “didn’t look very good.” He also said that he sent the video to the Pac-12 and B1G to be reviewed. On Tuesday during the B1G coaches teleconference, Frost said he had followed the proper protocol and that he was “done talking about it.”
Nebraska hosts Troy on Saturday and Martinez is still listed as day-to-day. There is a possibility he could return to the field this weekend.
