Steven M. Sipple weighs in with his report card from the Huskers' game against Fordham.

NU protected Martinez vs. Fordham and big pass plays followed. Will it continue as schedule stiffens?

Martinez averaged over 15 yards on his last 14 throws. Part of it is competition level, sure, but Nebraska's O-line certainly played a big role, too.
