FriendlyLurker2007 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 maybe he really feels that way..lol Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 http://collegefootba...ory/rumor-mill/ I wasn't too impressed by UGAs defense.... But overall the SEC has the better defenses. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 At least he plays with pride. Doesn't take crap off anyone on the field and defends the league. A polished, political speaker? No. But speaks his mind? Absolutely. I have no issues with that. I wish other Huskers felt the same way. Maybe we wouldn't have given up roughly 600+ yrds per game in our losses or an average of 50+ points in those. If we had won, the comments wouldn't have been an issue. We were winning against the big, bad SEC with a back up center, 2 other OL walk ons, a DE moved to DT, on DL with a bum leg and one with a broken hand, not to mention LB's who have had issues all year covering in space. Not to mention, until the fumble we pretty much imposing our will with the uptempo O. NU showed pride and progress IMO in that game. 6 Quote Link to comment

Especially the fact that he is NOT worried about being politically correct. But it does give the national haters who either don't know or (more likely) don't care about our injury/depth problems) fresh ammunition to hurl at him and the program for several more news cycles........

onlyHskrfaninIL Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Why does it matter? I don't agree with him but he's entitled to his opinion and its a far more educated opinion than any of ours. 2 Quote Link to comment

If you could put all the time I've spent worrying about things like this into a bucket... you wouldn't need a very big bucket. Seriously - we're afraid of what the country thinks of us because our quarterback said our conference has talent? After we were within one quarter of beating a team that should have played for a national title, and Michigan nearly upsets South Carolina, and Wisconsin plays within a field goal of Stanford? I think we have reason to hold our heads up this bowl season. The Big Ten wasn't outclassed, and statements like Taylor's should be a source of pride. When did we start giving a damn what NBC Sports thinks, anyway? Let's not forget - the Big Ten's best team was sitting at home this year. Every other team played up at least one spot in a bowl game, and played well against superior opponents. Those who ranked below Penn State played up two spots. We were underdogs in every single bowl game because of OSU's and PSU's suspensions. And still we didn't roll over and die. I hope Taylor keeps that attitude. I really hope the team finds the pride to make it stand up. 4 Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Against the Big Ten defenses: Passing: 58.7% for 200.3 yards and 1.33 TD per game. Rushing: 226.4 yards and 2 TD per game. Against SEC defense: Passing: 59.2% for 204 yards and 2 TD. Rushing: 239 yards and 1 TD. Sounds like Taylor is telling the truth. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Here's the thing - Taylor's not wrong. Michigan State, Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin all had tougher defenses than Georgia's, in my opinion. Hell, even Iowa held us to 13 points. Quote Link to comment

It just gets old hearing the wrong perceptions continually prevail. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Haha. Callin' it like he sees it. I like it. I really like how people get all butt hurt about it too. Like he's committing some sort of sin or breaking on of the commandments. Haha, get pissed SEC. I just wish we could have been one of those tough Big Ten defenses this year. Quote Link to comment

Please take that as a general response to all the kerfluffle over Taylor's comments and not directed pointedly at you. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I love his confidence and attitude....it can be contagious...If anyone read in the omaha paper what Ameer said...He was basically saying the same thing.... I really liked the fact that during the game, Tmart wasn't afraid of anyone and even got in the face of a Georgia player and didn't back down...love that attitude....He is a fighter.... Screw national Media perception...they hate NU anyway and anything Taylor would say isn't going to change that ! Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Besides scoring in the last 24:42 of the game, yeah, Martinez is pretty spot on. Ouch. Quote Link to comment
