there has been some pretty big improvements but what gets me is we had a golden opportunity to make a HUGE jump and we blew it. Here are some things that get me and need to be adressed. 1. Get the ball to REX!!!! he is a great player and should have 20-25 carries a game. no excuses. he wants it more than any other player out there and is ALWAYS fighting for extra yards. 2. Martinez needs to look in the mirrore and decide what kind of player he wants to be. I know hes hurt but im not sold on his dedication to the team and thats a problem. It seems like the line blocks better for Rex, Roy, Cody and Zac then for Taylor. Maybe im just overraeacting but im not so sure. Martinez needs to realize he can be great here but he needs to buy into the team, because thats how you win here. He isnt in Cali anymore.Over the offseason he needs to work on his decisio nmaking(will comew in time) but also making guys miss. Yeah hes fast but hes not Crouch yet. He out runs guys but doesnty make them miss. Im not givin up on taylor and neither should Husker fans, but he is a work in progress. 3. The play calling needs to be improved. RUN WHAT WORKS!!!!!!! TO would run a play until you stopped it and then once you did he would run it again cuz he thought you got lucky. I think this comes from firing Watson. No excuses. The athletes are there. He does not get the ball to the playmakers. McNeill cought a few passes last night but hehas been quiet since 08. He is our best receiver hands down. Catches everything. Same with Brockmeier. All 6 balls thrown at him he has caught so get him the ball!!! but we coulda run it down their throats. and wats dont run read option with an injured QB.and if they are blitzing, idk run a SCREEN!!!! 4. The D needs to get some key turnovers. we had 1 last night. Now, im not bashing the D. They were on the field a lot with a lot of pressure, but we need some turnovers. I am sickened by this loss. we had it in our grasps but totally botched it. we coulda played UCONN in the fiesta bowl, dominated them and been 12-2 in the top 5. HUGE JUMP right there. instead, to me we are right where we were last year. Mid level bowl after a tough B12 championship loss that was thrown away by the offense. This one is one of the tougher pills to swallow. Next year, if we change the offense, we can be very very good. we are very young. Changes are needed tho.

i really dont want to completely say our offense is bad, but just think about this. our offense is good with martinez because you have to be ready for a martinez run, read option, power run game, pa passing game, passing game. With Zac Lee last year teams just had to worry about stopping our backs. Zac lee this year woulda been a different story with a healthy arm i think. and here is the big problem, Cody Green just does not have it!!!! i think he is a great athlete and could be very useful somewhere else, not at qb. he plays nervous. he plays not to screw up, adn thats when you screw up. you cant run it with him cuz he most likely will fumble. he cant throw it cuz he is too nervous and just doesnt have it. all teams have to do is stop rex and roy. im not opposed to putting in kellog, latravis or even pulling the redshirt off carnes. get another pahse of the game in there that the d has to be worried about or well continue to see a 1d team.

West Des Moines. how about you?

i was just about to post this!!!!! we need to be loud! extremely loud all game. Nationally televised game, we need to play angry and the stadium needs to be absolutely rocking. last big 12 home game. Pre game needs to be loud and even louder during the game. no sitting down on 3rd downs. Lets get it!!! i will be there and i will be pumped. i want a big 12 championship to jam it in BB's rear! and we play the big east champ in the fiesta bowl, even more reason to win. i want this to be the loudest game of the year. Who is in!?
