With Taylor Martinez injured, can back-up QB Cody Green (#17) lead Nebraska to the Big 12 Championship game?
In the aftermath of a tumultuous week for Nebraska, Bo Pelini, and QB Taylor Martinez, it looks like sophomore QB Cody Green will get the start for Nebraska’s season finale against Colorado for the Big 12 North championship. Pelini cited turf toe in Martinez’ left foot and a sore right ankle that will keep the shifty QB sidelined for the must win Colorado game.
This will be Green’s second start of the season (4th career start) who is coming off of a 31-30 OT win against Iowa State earlier this month. For the season, Green is 20 of 35 for 215 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. Senior Zac Lee will back-up Green and redshirt freshman Ron Kellogg III will be active.
Pelini is confident Martinez will be healthy and ready for post-season play.
