Eric Crouch Has Advice For Husker QBHeisman Trophy Winner Also Had Rough Freshman Year

OMAHA, Neb. -- Second-year starting quarterback for the Huskers, Taylor Martinez, is searching for consistency and is getting some words of wisdom from former NU signal caller and Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch.

...

"The advice I could give him is that my freshman year didn't go so well either," Crouch said. "We lost four games. We went 9-4. The game will slow down for him. With the game slowing down, he'll think less about what he's doing out there and react more. I think that is what the coaches want him to do -- just react and be the athlete he is, because he is a tremendous athlete. He's one of fastest and strongest quarterbacks they've ever had at Nebraska."

"They have a different offense. They had a different offense last year and they have a different offense this year, so they have to find something for him and stay consistent and build your offense around a guy like that," Crouch said.

Coming from a former Heisman, I hope he is right. His answers to the Martinez woes do make sense. Martinez was a freshman. He is now matured and has been able to be around that high-intensity, fast-paced, athlete-driven environment for over a year(if you don't include his redshirt season). I hope Martinez does well and I believe he will.

Most of the great dual-threat QB's or any QB for that matter, have trouble their freshman year. I believe he'll work out the kinks and refine his game.
