With Nebraska's Taylor Martinez (ankle) questionable for Saturday's game at Iowa State -- it'll be a game-time decision, coach Bo Pelini said -- you wonder to whom Nebraska would turn at quarterback.

Earlier this week, offensive coordinator Shawn Watson spoke in broad terms about the overall preparedness of backups Zac Lee and Cody Green. Watson always expresses confidence in both.

"We always refer to those guys as 2A and 2B, depending on the situation," Watson said Tuesday.

Asked to explain, Watson said, "If we're in a game where we want to run the quarterback, we'll probably go with Cody more than we would Zac. If we're in a game where we're going to throw it more, we'll go with Zac. If it's a management aspect, where we need some veteran savvy ... like last week, it's going to be Zac.

"We have all those resources available to us and we're going to use them."Stay tuned.

Just hand the ball off to Rex and Roy the whole game, give Green the chance to pass every few plays, and just wear down ISU. Their defense is bad and should NOT be able to compete with our offensive line.

This was in the World-Herald today:

"Pelini said Lee has a sore arm, but looked fine in practice Thursday."

 

Doesn't mean Lee isn't hurt.

Does Matt Turman have a son on the team?

 

 

well played sir! that was one of my thoughts about this thread!...

Is there a mute button for idiots?

HI posters are saying the same thing about Zac, shocking news to be sure.

 

 

 

How do you guys feel our team does if Cody does get the nod?

I think he will do better than most expect. He just needs some time to get in the groove. My real concern with him is hanging onto the ball when he runs it.

HAHA It's funny that came up. That was my first thought, I always thought the Term had a year left...

This is rotten news .......I want to see T-mart play and get more practice. I think we still win but overall this concerns me as the offense will not be nearly as good with Green. (Hope I'm Wrong)

[walksalone]

One rumor from an opposing teams board, and we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater...

 

Last time I checked, there was a kid that went for 3 bills last week against a pretty good run defense.

 

We'll be alright.

I'd be SHOCKED if lee doesnt play. lets not forget what he played through last year.

[skersfan]

Fumbles are the only concern.

[JTrain]

MARK IT DOWN.

 

Cody Green is starting tomorrow.

 

Lee is injured and out for the season. They are playing it safe with T-Mart.

 

This will be in about 20 sigs if it turns out incorrect.

[sd'sker]

I have utter confidence that we can beat this ISU team with Ron Kellogg, Jr and Dontraveous Robinson starting.

 

Seriously, people. Calm down.

This. Seriously. Some of you are embarrassing yourselves.

where were you guys earlier? i was trying to maintain some semblance of sanity. it was like fighting off the red scare against a bunch of McCarthy's.

[talaricohusker]

Boy every one is in panic mode here. I think t mart will start but we will see more of our back ups part of the game

[VA Husker Fan]

Not really seeing the panic here. There is concern that 2 of our 3 QBs may be out, but panic? Nope.

All I can say is if Green starts tomorrow, I will come on here after the 'W' and make a thread simply named "Crow Eating Doubters" and I would like it if every person in this thread that in anyway implied Cody Green MIGHT not be good enough to win, would simply post in the thread "I was stupid for saying what I said."

 

Seriously... you people that were screaming for Cody to start last year are now claiming he may not have what it takes to beat a shotty Iowa State team that is still fighting for bowl eligibility?
