Not starting QB Martin is not the Bruins' starting quarterback for their game Saturday against Minnesota, James H. Williams of USA Today reports.
Listed as starter Martin has been listed as the starting quarterback ahead of Saturday's matchup against Minnesota, per 247Sports.com.
Impact With fellow quarterback Ethan Garbers still questionable, it's not a guarantee that Martin will make his second consecutive start for the Bruins, but the redshirt sophomore could see playing time against the Golden Gophers. Martin had a moderate performance in his first career start against Penn State last week, throwing for 167 yards and a touchdown while committing no turnovers and completing 73 percent of his passes. Should Garbers prove unavailable for Saturday, Martin will hope to improve those numbers against Minnesota.

Scores late in first start Martin completed 22 of 30 passes for 167 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 27-11 defeat to Penn State. He also had seven rushes for negative nine yards.
Impact Martin had a tough time in his first career start while Ethan Garbers was sidelined with a lower-leg injury. The redshirt sophomore was surprisingly efficient, but the Bruins' passing game was still clearly capped while going up against a stingy Nittany Lions defense. Martin tossed a one-yard touchdown to wideout Logan Loya in the final minute of the game. Garbers returned to practice Monday, according to Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times. But, if he remains sidelined, then Martin should be in line to start again this coming Saturday against Minnesota.

In line for first career start Martin is slated to start Saturday's game versus Penn State, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Martin came on in relief of Ethan Garbers (leg) last week and completed just one of his four pass attempts to close out the day. The redshirt sophomore appears slated to get his first starting nod under center with Garbers not warming up Saturday, and he'll face a tough task against a stingy Penn State defense.

Relieves injured starter Week 5 Martin completed one of four passes for seven yards during Saturday's 34-13 defeat to Oregon.
Impact Martin stepped in after starting quarterback Ethan Garbers exited with an apparent lower-leg injury on the Bruins' final offensive series. The redshirt junior backup didn't find any success in what had been a brutal game for UCLA's offense, as the unit failed to score any offensive touchdowns. Garbers has been sporting a walking boot since Saturday's loss. If he's unable to go in time for this coming Saturday's game against Penn State, then Martin will likely start against what has been a stout Nittany Lions defense.

Throw first career pass Martin completed 1 of 1 passes for five yards during Saturday's 42-13 loss versus Indiana.
Impact Martin logged his first career passing attempt during garbage time of this lopsided defeat. The redshirt sophomore took over for the Bruins' final drive of the game after starting quarterback Ethan Garbers threw a pick for his second turnover of the game on the previous offensive series. With little-to-no in-game experience for any of UCLA's backup quarterbacks, it's unlikely that Martin or anyone else will have a true chance to take over the starting job from a graduate senior in Garbers.
