Aside from the fact that his passer rating went up, not down, from the middle of the season to the end, and he's had a very-injured O line in front of him both years, WRs who can't catch the ball, and defenses routinely key on stopping him, you're right. He's worthless. His #72in the nation passer rating is garbage. His #58 in the nation All-Purpose yards mark is garbage. His #66 in the nation Points Responsible For ranking is garbage. All while being a sophomore. And breaking in a new offensive system. And working with one of the youngest offenses we've had at Nebraska in five years. Yep. Let's just sh#t-can Martinez and bring in the next guy. Doesn't matter how good he is, he's got to be better than Martinez. Right? Absolutely. Obviously won't be better right off the bat. That's not what I'm asking for though. I know you're a huge supporter of the guy cause I see your posts backing him up. If we are going all in with Martinez, which is what we're currently doing, we are not going to be in good shape...Those numbers are middle of the pack and nothing to get excited about. You're right the O-line was beat up, but even when he's given time he doesn't utilize the pocket. Take away all the drops and put in an even realtively healthy OL and TM has a FANTASTIC year stat wise. No way to prove it...but I'd bet my next paycheck on him moving up to the top 25% in many of those categories. But you would need to do the same for all other quarterbacks for that to be a fair comparison.

Absolutely. It's a lot like the 2008 situation with OU, Texas, and Florida. Give OSU a chance.

For whatever reason it seems that Bo has recruited poorly, especially on defense. Going to have to work hard to finish up on the 2012 class and make it a success.

You're not the only one. I'm getting sick of just competing for division titles.

When multiple players are making similar mistakes week to week, it is on the coaches.

Think Carnes starts second half?

Plus we forced a fumble on our first punt.

What worries me: http://www.omaha.com/article/20111001/BIGRED/710019714 Against defenses with a pulse we are going to have to rely on Martinez's ability to throw. With as much as the coaches talked up Martinez before the season, he hasn't really shown much if any improvement in this area.

Can we stop doing the option please.

Some good news is that all the o-linemen that were injured are practicing now, including Jones. Garrison said they are back to full health.

One day, in a scrimmage, in August, made Taylor the starter. Before that, he was the 3rd QB on the team. He has. It wasn't just the spring game where Brion has looked like the best QB on our team. ....and you know all of this how? Considering that Carnes is having a fairly tough time understanding the offense, I'm going with too... I'd have to agree with BigWillie here. Everything I have heard from people who are lucky enough to attend practices is that Martinez has had an unimpressive spring. I just hope Martinez can make a huge improvement in his passing and decision making, or Carnes gets the mental aspects of the offense down. We need a complete QB, or else we could see a repeat of last year.

Going just by the spring game today: 1. Carnes 2. Kellogg 3. Martinez and Green

There were two false starts and one fumble in 150 plays. I think that's pretty good.

Looks like a high of 47 on Saturday right now. Really hope that wont be the case.

I haven't bought tickets yet, but the only seats availabe on huskers.com are high up in the endzones. Should I pay extra for better seats from another site?
