It is nice to read an un-biased opinion on our team...

He didn't win the game for NU either. Neither did the other 20 some guys that played major minutes yesterday. Go ahead a make a thread for each and every one of them now about how they should be replaced.

Bingo. I would like to see one person on this board that could go through the $*** he has for the last 2 years and handle it the way he does.

He isn't even that good of a receiver this year?

I like it, wouldn't want one of our teams leaders to want anything less. Haters will hate no matter what.

What/who did you think were the bright spots? 1. Rex proved he belongs with the big boys once again. 2. Taylor looked to have that final gear back when he did get loose. Did decent job passing, atleast two big drops. 3. Cassidy walked off the field for the last time today.

Special teams are going to kill us..

Don't think so....the year we went down there and beat them RGIII was hurt and didnt play No, it was in 2008 that Baylor came to town. I was at that game, and every time Baylor got on offense, we thought they would take it to the house in 1 play. But we ended up winning. Gotcha, my bad.

From last year but just found it on Youtube and thought it was kind of cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21mYRtUmc8k&feature=g-vrec&context=G271cfa1RVAAAAAAAACg

Really? Because both of them have publicly said they like hanging out with each other because they are both the quiet laid back type.

Hopefully DB....

When is he going to pick?

Ohio State has been banned from participating in a bowl game in 2012....Just made breaking news on ESPN

Guessing he would get a full-ride scholly...

This one gets my vote!

Heard he is questionable to play in bowl game. Bad news for us, I think he is a key piece if we are going to beat SC.

Taylor was taking fewer and fewer carries as the year went on, and when Rex is taking 30-40, I don't think you can say that Taylor is taking carries away from the freshman RBs. Kyler Reed has been injured most of the season. http://omaha.com/art...IGRED/712069818 We're not going to get as much production out of our "promising" receivers as other teams because we're not going to throw the ball as much as other teams. We're also not going to get as much production out of them until they stop dropping 3-5 throws every game. I also don't buy into the analysis that, "Taylor has lost his big play ability from 2010." Look at the good defenses we played in 2010 - Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri. None of those defenses were as good as Michigan State, Ohio State, or Penn State, but all of those teams had one goal in mind going into the game - stop Taylor Martinez from beating them with his legs. In 2010, Martinez couldn't beat them, and Roy Helu beat Missouri. In 2011, Martinez could beat them. When opposing defenses schemed to take away his running ability, he improved at managing the offense to beat those teams by distributing the ball. He still got beat sometimes too, and he still left some yards out on the field - but he's still a sophomore too, and I'm confident he'll progress from year 2 - year 3 just like he did from year 1 - year 2. Anyways, you don't need to look at stats to know that Iowa's defense is stronger than 2010 K-State, or that Washington's was stronger than 2010 Washington. After the first five games this year, Martinez's decision making and completion percentage improved dramatically (only thrown 2 interceptions since the Wisconsin game), and the offense/QB play was more consistent than it has been since Zac Taylor. And that's in the first year of a new system which is only going to get better next season, and it's after losing NFL talent at WR and RB. Of the things that worry me about next season, Taylor Martinez is at the bottom of the list, only slightly above Rex Burkhead. How is our o-line going to improve and build depth over the offseason? When are our WRs going to stop routinely dropping catchable passes? Are the young playmakers (Heard, Green, Abdullah, Turner) going to get more comfortable in every aspect of the offense so that the coaches are actually willing to put them on the field? How can the defense possibly make up for losing Lavonte David and Alfonzo Dennard? QB play is way, way down the list. Agree with you 100%. Martinez has proven he CAN perform, we do not have to worry about him. The freshman havn't proved anything. (Exception of Abdullah and Bell).

Never have, never will. Stupid to put other people and yourself in danger. Be responsible.

More off-field incidents.... http://www.omaha.com/article/20111212/BIGRED/712129874/-1#nu-s-martin-cited-by-police

David for me. The 3 freshman could carry the load at running back to a certain extent in my opinion but David's leadership and ability to will the defense to stops (Penn State 4th down, Ohio State strip, even the Iowa strip) was just too much.

I think for for got to add " "

You must be expecting Ball to head to the NFL for sure eh? And LaMichael James from Oregon?

Probably Northwestern! Stealing plays was a walk in the park for those kids! haha

Not bashing you because you are entitled to your own opinion. But I would say that the effort and focus put in by opposing defensive coordinators and players to stop his running is still causing problems. They have to game plan and play like at any given moment he could go 80 in a heartbeat.
