Here's a pretty cool tribute video someone made with all of Taylor's touchdowns, in order, throughout his career.

Magical ride for Nebraska's Martinez No, Martinez couldn't rally his team Saturday in the Big Ten championship game after the Cornhuskers fell behind the Badgers, roughly, infinity to 10 at halftime. But he did score on a 76-yard scramble that defied description. If you saw it in another remake of "The Longest Yard," you would dismiss it as implausible. Martinez juked half the population of Wisconsin before breaking free like a colt at the rodeo. "Somehow he magically escaped," was how the Big Ten Network's Dave Revsine put it during a highlights show. Not a terribly in-depth article about Martinez, but a good one. One that makes all the personal critiques of Taylor seem pretty petty. On the field he's both magical and mystifying. Off the field, he takes way more grief than he deserves. Shy kids get hazed, I guess. Sucks when it's our own fans doing it to him, though. EDIT - apparently since I first read this article this AM they've changed it to subscription-only viewing. Sorry about that, folks. Here's a quick run-down of the article: Taylor and his dad bonded after his dad had to divorce bio-mom. They hit rock-bottom as a family, and Taylor helped dad get through it. To this day Taylor and dad text inspiring messages to each other. Taylor plays chess, and is quite good at it, apparently.
