Grading Nebraska’s loss at Ohio State, why the future is bright in Lincoln

Martinez was good, but not great. A few miscues cost the Huskers points, but remember folks, he is a freshman. He is going to be a beast in two years! The first drive was great, but Martinez did make freshman mistakes - especially the pass he tossed backward in the red zone that cost the Huskers points.

Against the pass, the young Huskers were better than average, but the run defense was the Achilles heal. JoJo Domann caused a fumble that helped Nebraska stay in this game, but giving up huge chunks of yards on the ground proved to be fatal.

From Caleb Lightbourn whiffing on his first kickoff try, to having Keandre Jones waltz into the backfield like he knew the play count to block a punt, the special teams was a disaster Saturday afternoon.
