Martin a late scratch

Kamal Martin led the team in tackles at Fresno State, but he didn’t follow up that performance against the Eagles.

The senior linebacker dressed for the game but did not play, making way for sophomore Mariano Sori-Marin to start. Fleck said Martin had a foot sprain and probably could have played, but the coaches decided to give him extra time to heal with the bye week next week.

Martin’s 13 tackles plus a pass breakup stabilized the linebacker group last weekend, which struggled in the season opener against South Dakota State. Martin missed that first game serving the second game of a suspension for violating team rules that dated to last season’s Quick Lane Bowl.

Others not dressed for warmups: freshman running back Jason Williamson (knee injury), sophomore quarterback Zack Annexstad (foot injury), defensive back Caden Fey, defensive lineman Rashad Cheney Jr. and kicker Michael Tarbutt.
