Martinez injured?

[JoeHuskers!]

agreed, wished he could have seen more action last week and even some this week, but what can ya do?

It's nothing. If it is something, it's minor. If it was serious, he would've been taken out for the last series. And, he wasn't. Taylor and many other Huskers played with the flu today.

Really? They had the flu? I hadn't heard that.

 

[The Dude]

Watching the replay it does look like he and Bo looked down at something, and he did hand off with his left hand for the rest of the game. He was, however, taking snaps both from under center and in the shotgun without issue. So I'd venture to guess it's nothing major.

You could tell during the post game press conference. Taylor looked a bit ill and was sniffling a lot

Maybe Dirk Chatelain made him cry. chuckleshuffle

Why would anyone be panicked? A lot would finally get what they want. The second coming of Matt Turman, or Frankie London, or Joe Daily, Cody Green. On and On and On. A new experience freshman could come in and lead us to the promised land.

Bo Pelini sent Martinez back into games last season when the guy could barely walk.

I don't think the Northwestern game will be a great time to tinker around with supporting players in a tune-up for Michigan.

I think we'll have to stay at the top of our game just to win.

 

[True2tRA]

Good catch on this one. I didn't even notice that til' watching the DVR and looking for it. Exactly right though, he did hand off lefty. Caputo and Hardrick were a bit dinged up in the game too. Any words on that?

 

[TheCheshireCat]

Look at it this way - his throwing can't get any worse.

Ouch. But funny. And true.

 

[Cornicator]

Gosh... I hope this doesn't hurt our passing game.

Don't get me wrong. There is a lot I admire about Martinez, and I believe he has a skill set not a lot of quarterbacks have, but his throwing motion is just awful. I really wish he could throw a better ball - quicker and more fluid - because with the receivers we have this year, it would open a whole new level in our offense.

I am right there with you. He has a lot of great qualities, and I'm glad he's our QB most of the time, but yeah - throwing motion, decision-making, etc. is all not where I wish it would be. With these WRs, you just hope we're not wasting that aspect of our game.

But he is what he is. Like you said, I admire a lot about him.

 

[Jason Sitoke]

Well...after that final Burkhead TD....he went up to coach Bo and Bo looked concern...BUT...I don't think it is that serious.

Well that's a relief. And I'm sure you have solid evidence, so I won't ask you why you believe that.
