Taylor does have a problem with holding onto the ball, no doubt about that. I think the biggest reason Green gets blamed more than Martinez is due to confidence issues. With Martinez in the ball game, even if he does fumble the ball, the next series he could explode for an 80 yard run or complete a 75 yard touchdown pass. With Green, there isn't that same big play potential, which may factor into the finger pointing in Green.
This whole year-and maybe all of Watsons' Nebraska career-has been marked by inconsistency. We have no idea what offense will show up from one week to the next. We have the offensive explosion at Washington, then the offensive is almost nonexistent playing SDSU. We run for over 400 yards at K-State, then dig our own grave against Texas. We have two weeks where our offense is great, winning both in Stillwater then running all over Missouri, and now we're stuck in the midst of two straight weeks where our offense has failed to show the same big play ability that it possessed in the first half of the season.
It still baffles to me to no end how many times we've put the ball on the ground this season. To have it happen this many times, I truly don't believe McNeill when he says that they work on it all the time. If they worked on it all the time, and actually tried at the drills, we wouldn't be having this discussion. If they really do practice this all the time, then they're just going through the motions and not getting any better at it, like we have seen the whole year. (at least this part of our offense has been consistent )
