I Support T-Mart

[SECHusker]

I wasn't always a T-Mart supporter, but I can't even lie I've been pleased with his play. He had a rough game, the team had a rough game, but nonetheless they are my team. We'll be more prepared next year. GBR

My name is HuskerShark, and I approve this message.

 

Taylor had a really rough game, and a lot of this loss can be put on his shoulders, but I still want him as our QB.

[NebraskaHarry]

I support Taylor Martinez!

 

I'm hoping this goes down the line and everyone says this.

rough game...

[JPHUSKER89]

T-Mart showed more heart than any QB in the last 10 years. I was upset but proud to have him as our QB.

TM did have a rough game...but not nearly as rough as the defense did.

[The Duke]

Tonight's loss was not Taylor's fault. Taylor played his guts out tonight....and he didn't quit. I support Taylor.

Here's how I see it:

 

We lost because of 2 things: turnovers and BAD defense.

 

Turnovers can be fixed by individual discipline by every player that touches the ball, and making good decisions.

 

The defense is the one that is probably 2 years away from being fixed IMO. It's been said a million times this year, we simply don't have the athletes on defense that we need in order to field a dominant or even competitive defense. That part is coming IMO. Recruiting was geared toward offensive players in the first 2 years Bo was here, and his recruiting has picked up in the last 2 or 3 years since he realized the true importance of recruiting. It may sound like an excuse, but believe me, it's not. I think the younger guys that Bo has recruited and is recruiting will be able to make the D much better.

 

The defense was just not physical enough at the point of attack. To stop a mobile QB or a good rushing attack, the best way to stop it is to get there before the runner gets started. For the first 2 or 3 possessions on defense, Bo blitzed like crazy. Then our guys stopped being as aggressive as they were at the beginning, and Bo went back to his cover-2 scheme. At that point, tOSU moved the ball at will.

 

I'm not satisfied with where we are at as a team, but thinking about the team we were before Bo got here, I am willing to give Bo another 2 or 3 years to win a conference title and finally field an elite, disciplined team.

 

I really believe in Bo as a human being, and also as a coach. I love how he runs the team as a family, and that's the way it should be.

Four turnovers is unacceptable. Period. End of story.

[papersun87]

Four turnovers (nearly five) is brutal. Just a bad night. Although he fought hard and played to win.

 

I BELIEVE IN TAYLOR MARTINEZ

I agree with everything you just said. The bold part has been an issue for some time now. The front four has to get better.

[It'sNotAFakeID]

Taylor will be the first one to tell you that his play was partly to blame for the loss. But despite that, this loss was more than just his play.

[Igetbored216]

Weren't most of the turnovers from Taylor? I know at least half of them were...

[SECHusker]

Four turnovers are unacceptable. Period. End of story.

 

Almost as unacceptable as your post in a thread supporting T-Mart.

 

The kid had a bad game. He'll bounce back with our support.

[Flood]

TM improved in the last off season. Hopefully he will do so the rest of this season and reign in the turnovers.

 

If he continues the current trajectory, I am excited about next year. And this season is far from over. We still have a great shot at Indy and the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, we stand to get our collective heads torn off by Oregon. But at least we might add a B1G trophy to our crowded case.

 

Just hope we aren't badly abused if we make it that far.
