Fumbles 2021
While saying he’s taking accountability for his actions, Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez also gave himself something of an out, saying he thought that the play was over and he was just standing there when Hawkins came up and aggressively ripped the ball out.
“Yeah, the call: obviously short-yardage run play, try to get the first down,” Martinez said. “I’m not gonna stand up here and make excuses for myself: can’t be careless with the football.
I thought the play was over, I was standing as I’m standing right now, and I thought it was done. Regardless of that fact, I feel a lot of responsibility and can’t make plays like that that hurt our team.”
He spoke again about the play on Monday, just noting that he has to hang onto the ball.
“The biggest thing, just continuing to be aware and hold on as tight as possible to that ball,” Martinez said. “It’s hard to really see anything else there from that play.”
The Michigan contingent spoke about the play after the game, as well, with both Jim Harbaugh and Brad Hawkins commenting on it.
“Yeah, I knew they wouldn’t flinch!” Harbaugh said. “Like I said, some incredible athletes. Brad Hawkins, incredible play he made — stripping that ball in the end and picking it up.”
“Just practicing how you play,” Hawkins said. “Practice all week, every single day. Then we practice punching at the ball, stripping the ball, taking the ball out. In that moment, punching the ball out, stripping the ball out and it came free. Just practicing how you play. And it came through for us.”
Adrian Martinez wife
Adrian Martinez’ girlfriend is Marisa Weichel who is a junior soccer player at Kansas State.
According to The Kansas State Collegian, Marisa is from Papillion, Nebraska, near where Martinez played college football.
They met the year before she moved to Texas Tech. They quickly started dating, even with the distance between them.
Weichel, however, wanted to move closer to home and eventually moved to Manhattan, Kansas, where she is now a Division I athlete at Kansas State.
Speaking about his relationship with Marisa, Martinez said: “For me, it was hard to find people who didn’t just see me as ‘The Nebraska Quarterback.’“
“She got to know ‘the person’ really quickly, drew it out of me. That’s what she likes the most about me, and I love that. That goes a long way for me and is part of the reason why I love her so much. She loves me for me, and not because of the way I play on the football field.”
