per Chip:
For sure, the Gophers defense deserves credit for showing improvement, but that unit also benefited from Martinez's wildness. He overthrew open receivers, and two of those plays would have resulted in big gains.
Martinez missed high, he missed low, he missed wide.
He passed for only 111 yards on 27 attempts, completing 16 of them.
He was so erratic that, after back-to-back incompletions in the fourth quarter, the Cornhuskers called a running play on third-and-10.
Martinez had success running the ball — 96 yards rushing and one touchdown — but at some point, a team needs its quarterback to be able to complete a pass in an important spot.
Martinez made his 26th career start Saturday. It was Morgan's 25th.
Only one looked like a veteran. His team won.

Gophers' Tanner Morgan shows passing skill that Huskers' Adrian Martinez lacks
The Gophers asked their QB to throw when necessary. The Huskers avoided that option.
