This article and quote by Watson will tell you the QB competion is wide open and there is going to be a lot of head knocking going on this spring. http://huskerextra.com/articles/2010/02/17/football/doc4b7b45358b898382611147.txt

"billy C" is right again. Carnes will not even be 4th Team. I expect a red shirt. GBRFE Are you kidding me. Last year was some of the worse QB play that I seen in years. It was painful to watch most of the time against varsity teams. I mean come on Guys the second string QB was a freahmen that didn't know 3/4 of the plays. I think this guy might be able to hit someone thats open.

Does he feel he will lead NU back to National Champions again as the QB here? If so, how many NC's does he fell he can he win here? How solid is his comitment to N

Thats why they play the game because you never know and if I was Watson I would get him ready right away to rum the wildcat. He has a lot better moves than Cody and he could pass off it. Lee was afraid to run the ball when he wasn't hurt

They were talking about a spring battle between Cody and Martinez . They seemed not to know much about Martenz. Guys don't quit your day Job becuase that was pretty boring. Come on man. Here is some help on Martienz for you plus some HS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL VIDEO!! Let's getum all out on the football feild and let the best man win.I want Martinez and Carnes get a fair shot. Taylor Martinez is a talented all-around athlete who has the ability to play on either side of the ball at Nebraska. One of six Californians in Nebraska's 2009 recruiting class, Martinez compiled huge numbers as a quarterback as a senior. The 6-1, 185-pounder also has shown outstanding ability on defense and could be a factor in the secondary. Martinez was a dual threat quarterback for Coach Matt Logan at Corona's Centennial High School as a senior. Martinez passed for better than 3,000 yards and 28 touchdowns, and completed 61 percent of his passes. On the ground, Martinez added 750 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. His play helped Centennial to a perfect 15-0 season and a state championship, capped by a victory over De La Salle High, when Martinez threw for 243 yards. Centennial finished No. 2 nationally in the USA Today's final prep rankings. Martinez was named the Big VIII League's Most Valuable Player and also earned the Los Angeles Times' Glen Davis Player-of-the-Year Award. A first-team all-state selection, Martinez was also the Inland Division Offensive Player of the Year, was named the Max Preps California Player of the Year and the Golden States Prep Southern California Offensive Player of the Year. Martinez spent only one season at Centennial High School. As a junior, he quarterbacked San Bernadino Cajon High and accounted for about 1,500 yards of total offense. He spent his freshman and sophomore years at Norco High, where he primarily played in the secondary. Martinez was ranked among the top "athlete" prospects in the nation by Rivals.com, while Scout.com listed him among the top 50 quarterbacks. He was listed among the top 50 players in California by both Rivals.com and SuperPrep and Scout.com ranked him as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback on the West Coast. SuperPrep also named him to its All-America team. Martinez only visited the Huskers. He is the son of Casey Martinez and Epifania Martinez and was born on Sept. 15, 1990.

I dont mean to be rude but I strongly disagree. Cody Green will have this team for no less than two seasons. [/quote} That is why this post is so interesting, We all strongly disagree. The only way Cody will start is if he can get better at completing his passes. If he can't improve in the off season and boy he better be working hard at it or he is going the to be riding the bench. Ask Lee about the hook.

That is the best response I have read in the 70+ posts

We have to really wonder if the problems were the WR or the QB. Probably both.

i'd wait to see what lee can do with a healthy arm, a healthy line, healthy running backs and receivers that aren't first year starters before i throw him on the scrap pile. he definitely has a lot to prove though. his performance in the holiday bowl was a start and he finally looked like someone that actually wants to run the ball, rather than a guy looking for a place to fall down. i do agree that the competition should and will be open. Good Article on Him http://www.omaha.com/article/20100207/BIGRED/702069770

They can always red shirt him because that decision can come at the first game but I got him seriously competing for the starting Job because of the problem we were having at that position last year.

Are you kidding me. He might never not ever get here. Looking at our history of Recruit QBs changing there mind and going somewhere else. I think it a 50/50 chance he ends up here.

He better than Spano and Green right now. I got him at number 2# opening day.

By watching the film it looks like he has run the same offense that Watson wants to run. The college game is faster and Bigger but the plays look the same.Watson has got be pretty excited about working with this guy and I love the idea of Ganz working with the QBs this year. Do we have a interveiw of Watson on Carnes somewhere.

You watch that tape and you know why he was the #7 Dual Threat QB in the nation and the 1# over Cody

They were forced to burn his RS becaue of injuries and QB defection. I think Cody would make a great outside linebacker. I would be drawing wildcat plays for Cranes right now and then passing off it like the Jets did and brake him in that way. If we were deep in great QBs Redshirt him. But right now we can't Redshirt him unless someone devolops in a hurry. If I was Watson I would be Air mailing a playbook and going overing it on Skype weekly.

You know he has Tommies number on speed dial. We know he has great instintive running skills and it looks like he can actually hit someone with a pass so in my book that makes him number 3 and competeing for the 2 spot. With Lee's surgery the QB spot is the spicey Hot Topic. You never know, he could open a can of whoop Ass on the other QBees

Did Bo seal the deal by telling Brion that he will be given the opportunity to compete for the starting QB Job this fall. I say he did and he will given that opportunity to try because of the problems last year at the QB position.Who was the last freshman to start consistently at the QB spot? It could be in the blood.

Look at the bones on that hat! Looks great on him. Saints preserve us! HE'S A LEFTY!!!!! Now I don't trust him....... Auh He is a All American for sure with that left hand it meanshe can put up with crap and still rise to be victorious.

90 days ago i would not have dreamed that we would end up recruiting this well, we should be thrilled with this class and Bo will get better recruits each year. great job by Team Pelini, i am very impressed with how it all turned out. I just watched the video on this kid and I know it is highschool but this kid can makeplays with his Arm and feet. He could compete for the starting job this fall.

Bo never lets me down. You can't be much more straightforward than he was with that statement. No wonder we Nebraskans like the guy so much. Btw, he's going to work wonders with the guys we got this year 'cause they have talent & THEY WANT TO BE HERE. Could a coach ask for anything more? Bo, did you just start watching football today?! What do you mean it's his mistake? Are you saying UCLA isn't a good football program and that Rick is slick? You mean you think he lied to recruits when he told them he'd be there for their entire careers because he is always looking for bigger and better? Oh, not that, you think they'll be in trouble and on double secret probation within 2 years because of Ricky. I understand. I figured I just as well demean Bo's opinion since that seems like a popular thing today. [/quote} Yes it was his mistake, He could of went to play for a Head Coach that is a Defensive Genius that took a almost last place Defense to number One in two years. Let me ask you. How good do you have to be to do that and who else could do it. Instead he choses a program with a weak defenses. I like Bo's attitude. It fits me just fine.

Lookng forward to the "Crane " striking with his arm and" flying " down the sideline taking it to the house and then hearing the crowd chanting whoop whoop whoop! A little louder. We got the Birdman in Denver. N got the Craneman!

Forget this QB recruitment this year. What a screw up for this year. I hope they learn a lessen from it.

Yeah. I know these coaches are being very respectful of the recruits and their future...but it's obvious they should have pushed Brion harder. I see NO reason why they should have told Fajardo not to come. Except, that the "entire" staff wasn't on board. If they liked him so much they should would offered him and seen which committed first. I'm starting to think maybe the "entire" staff wasn't as on board with Cody as we have been led to believe. Cody didn't have to rush to secure that spot at Nevada. He could still be uncommitted and on his way to Lincoln, but he's not...which leads me to believe we teased him a little bit, but never put on the full court press. Some of this could have been because they thought Brion was "silently committed" but with this staff and the way they treat recruits who take additional visits (which Carnes still was doing) then I see no reason why they wouldn't have been still pursuing Cody if they all really wanted him. Let me See nevada or Nebraska. Which one would you like to play for. If he did not sign why not call him tonight

Per the Husker board on HI. Not verified yet. Strange Cody Fajardo News Reply First he cancels the visit here (based on the rumours that is not strange). Supposedly it is to goto Tucson to visit U of A, which just had a QB defection (that is no strange). Before he goes to Tucson, he commits to the Nevada Wolfpack. Posted on 1/29 7:30 PM | IP: Logged Confirmed he did commit to Nevada today. Fajardo would fit well at Nevada. Their Pistol offense would be right up his alley. I would be calling CODY now if he hasn't signed on the line.

Why change now, We already got about 2 or 3 that are 3 stars and converted DB at the number three depth chart at QB.
