Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says his top players will see limited action in Saturday's annual Red-White Game.

Pelini said the spring game really is about giving second and third-stringers an opportunity to show what they can do in front of a big crowd. About 70,000 fans are expected at Memorial Stadium.

Quarterback Taylor Martinez is expected to play about one quarter and running back Rex Burkhead will get only a few carries.

The Huskers have been decimated by injuries on the defensive line, but first-year coordinator John Papuchis said he's excited to see how his linebackers and secondary perform after a run of strong spring workouts.
