Not every player responds the same way. I have no problem letting a player know they made a mistake. My oldest daughters Volleyball coach is nowhere near Bo, but he gets heated at times and the players just don't respond to that attitude. They play 1000% better when he keeps a cooler head; it is night and day different. he is starting to see that and last week was totally different.. We won!

Don't confuse fire with childish behavior. Not a thing wrong with having fire or being passionate.. What Bo does at times is neither.

We very much have a scheme problem.

yes, he does and he will not succeed until he changes his attitude. He teams play the way he acts.. up and down hot and cold. Having fire is one thing but the way he acts at times is childish.

date question?

DAMN!!! All these years and I've believed that the JAPANESE bombed pearl harbor!!! lol exactly what I thought when I read this post, and then I started thinking about what a terrible, terrible analogy it was as well... bunch of kids that have never seen the movie animal house? it is a perfect analogy of husker nation right now. we are the deltas. That was the very first thing I thought of when I read that comment.. guess some missed that one.

like I said before.. He is not THE problem, but is part of the problem.

I understand your point but it is rather silly (no offense meant).. Hell, if they just outlawed passing all together Taylor wouldn't throw ints either. The point is he does throw the ball, which is part of our offense, and the ints usually happens in critical points in the game... against GOOD teams. Those ints then put a heavy burden on the defense. The defense was doing pretty good until a certain point in the game Saturday.. which also happen to be when certain things started to happen to our QB.

That definitely wouldn't happen. Armstrong was a leader before he even put on the NU jersey. He helped a lot with our recruiting, as Bandares is doing the same. He helped a lot of kids make their minds up on committing here, like Jordan Westerkamp, which will be a key WR for us in the future. We just want him to be ready when he goes in, like reading the defense and making corrects adjustments when needed. We pull Martinez now, you ruin that relationship that is built on the offense, which makes them explosive. Armstrong doesn't have the chemistry and would have to develop the trust and figure out who his "go to" receivers would be. Its too late in the season to make a change, and would be completely pointless to burn a red shirt, to put us in the same position we are in now. #TeamMartinez Not true, TO made the change in the 6th game. Frazier played some in the games after the Washington game but then started the Missouri game.. and stayed there. As a freshman.

I would rather end the year in a losing season than burn Armstrong's red shirt. Just my opinion. The best option for us, is to let him observe and learn. It will be more valuable than throwing him in young and expecting big things out of him. Why? Find out what you have in Armstrong NOW. We can't wait, or we'll be having the same conversation when Armstrong is a junior and there is some other QB recruit behind him. We want to be able to say he has playing experience and is a known commodity. Riding behind the junior signal caller here will only set up Armstrong to ride the pine all year next year and enter the frey in 2014 as a completely unproven redshirt sophomore. once again spot on!

This. Like it or not, there's a good chance that Armstrong would look very similar to the freshman Martinez - inexperienced. I think giving him time and not forcing him into the game too early (or burning his redshirt) will benefit the team in the long run. We've all watched how Martinez has struggled since playing as a freshman. Had he had more time to develop, perhaps he'd more a more lethal passer at this point. Also, I disagree that we'd be better off taking Martinez out right now, even if that meant a losing season. It's important we don't treat this season as a total waste at this juncture, especially for recruiting purposes. We need to play the guy who gives us the best chance to get a "W" and that guy is Martinez at this point. THAT SAID, our offense needs to run stuff more to his strengths. More play action passes, more pistol, more roll-outs. Less straight back drops. I think T-Mart hasn't been the same SINCE his freshman year. He is a totally different runner.

well, well, well... What a good post. I don't know for sure how good Armstrong is, but he should be in the mix. Like I said unhitch that wagon Bo, Tommie was brought here for a reason. Maybe Tommie isn't grasping things yet, could be, but he still needs to be in the mix pushing the other QB's to get better... and if they don't get better make the move.

he didn't allow 63 points but then again neither did the defense. EDIT: Ah, I see you changed that.. good idea. but even to your point about 6 straight TD drive.. yes, he was part of that problem. Since he threw int's and or fumbles that caused the D to be under the gun more than it should have been. Here, let me point something out for you since you're trying to ignore it. 8+ yards per play. Keep your stupid witch hunt going though. lol, I can do that too.. but keep your stupid head in the sand. Now, see how silly that is? How about acting like an adult.

yep, I agree, we have other issues... T-Mart is one of those "other" issues though..

Who cares if he is better than Mike Grant? Isn't the goal to get to the next level? Thought so.. Again, that was before TO made the change. From the 1997 MU game.. Missouri-C Jones 21-60 looks like he was kept in check don't ya think? I was at the Missouri game... and while he had "only" 60 years, he extended 3-4 key drives with his legs and gave the defense fits. We almost lost... and if we had, it would have been Corby who, among others, stood out as the guy who almost put us down. Everyone struggles against a mobile QB if that guy can as well pass. Really? everyone? How did MSU do against OSU? EDIT: I am not saying, nor have I said, that Taylor was the main problem, he is "part" of the problem.

chuckle, T-Mart is NOT the QB to lead NU to the next level, plain and simple. How many points did he give them due to throwing ints? For NU to get to the next level we need a QB who can take us there. When T-Mart plays TOUGH teams he reverts back to the same old T-Mart. To be a National Champion you can't make those mistakes. Yes, T-Mart was very much "part" of the problem. He is a great kid, just not the kid to lead us to the next level.

back in 1992 Tom's team, led by Mike Grant, just lost to the Washington Huskies, this opened the door for a true freshman to get the start at QB.. the rest is history. problem is 2 fold.. Is Bo man enough to admit he is wrong about hitching his wagon to T-Mart? Do we have a better back up in Tommie Armstrong? unhitch that wagon Bo. just something to think about.

Bo is a hothead, and he will fail as a head coach unless he finds a way to deal with things better.

I went 7-5 but really should be 8-4. This is Nebraska and we shouldn't accept anything less.

Bo will never be successful at Nebraska until he clears up his own behavior issues. His teams plays exactly they way he behaves.. Hot and cold! It is time for Bo to change in order to be a success at NU.

they are running all over us now.. and not just the QB

another year at the bottom or totally out of the polls.
