Martinez leads the Cardinal with 121 tackles this season, and had 14 tackles against USC in the first meeting.

If Martinez isn't able to play, it likely means more snaps for inside linebackers Jordan Perez and Kevin Palma, with possibly more snaps going to Noor Davis as well.

UPDATE: ESPN's Chantel Jennings says that Martinez's ankle is hurt, but he will play tonight:
