TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hello everyone, I'm a long-time lurker, rare poster. I am a UNL alumni from Spain. I follow the Huskers about as avidly as I do my favorite (Euro) Football teams, which is saying a lot. Today I was cruising through the the sports page AS.com, which is an equivalent of ESPN.com over there, trying to get my intake of Futbol results, but I saw this! http://www.as.com/mas-deporte/video/increible-touchdown-76-yardas-taylor/20121203dasdasmas_3/Ves What is incredible, is there is rarely, RARELY any American Football highlights. The one time they post a highlight, they post my Huskers scoring on a huge play. Too bad the game sucked, but never the less, I am amazed. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 That run has got to rank among the best Husker runs of all time. In the top ten for sure, maybe top five. It's too bad it happened in such a terrible game. I'm sure having a QB like that on our team really causes sleepless nights for opposing D-coordinators. I mean, how can you defend against something like that? Almost need to devote a full-time spy on the guy to keep something like that run from happening. / What the heck was Spencer Long doing on that play? Looked like he was pulling to the left. He totally wiffed on #97. Let him through, unabated to Martinez. I feel sort of sorry for Spencer. People are gonna be looking at this clip for, well, forever. lol Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Here is a different version from the youtube. At the 0:48 sec mark it shows an endzone view of the run. We already have "The Run." I think this one should be known as "The Scramble". It's got to be one of the best QB scrambles in the history of college football. Seriously, I can't remember ever seeing a better QB scramble under pressure than this play. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Run was amazing! Equally as amazing ... we were that run away from being down 42-3 at half. Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 i didn't think he had it in him. martinez up to that run has been one of the worst scramblers I have watched. even ganz could get outside a pocket better. going to be hard to argue he can't scramble going forward. now the question becomes why he doesn't scramble. 1 Quote Link to comment

kchusker_chris Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 dennard scrambles. b. miller scrambles. taylor shifts. when he makes plays w/ his feet - it's primarily a read or a designed run. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 i like watching the down field blocking on the play. especially burkhead. that kid is smart. always in the right position for martinez to dump it off to, and then quickly adjusts to lead the way for t-mart. great run by t-mart (i agree with kchusker regarding t-mart's scrambling ability), but that was a team effort.

Down field blocking was good. The line of scrimmage blocking was atrocious. Quote Link to comment

robsker Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 That was a nice run. Taylor has played his heart out for this team and should be commended. He is often asked to play outside his natural skills... and so that limits him... but overall, he has played with grit & heart. I do wish he did not turn the ball over so much... but what he has cost the team in his mistakes... he has far, far more than compensated for in his positive contributions. 1 Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Didn't see a comments section, my Spanish isn't the best, anyone else see it. Always curious to see international perspectives. Quote Link to comment

ZRod Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Gus Johnson's still the best. I find he annoying as sh#t. He's a basketball announcer calling football games. Quote Link to comment
