Bowfin Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I say play them both. Kellog's arm should give Enunwa/Bell/Turner and the tight ends a chance to make a difference, but I do like to see the option run crisply. Let South Dakota decide which is the most effective...

husker_99 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sit Martinez til we actually need him and if he still can't run no point in him being out there, useless. Quote Link to comment

husker_99 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sit Martinez til we actually need him and if he still can't run no point in him being out there, useless. Ridiculous. Martinez isn't a pocket passer. His legs are his best weapons. If he can't run the defense will just sit back and not rush since he wouldn't be a threat with his legs. Martinez isn't good enough to beat a defense with his arm the entire game. Quote Link to comment

Husker_x Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 If we're a run-first offense predicated on running the zone read (a questionable statement, I realize), telling me my QB can't run is basically the same as saying we can't run the offense. Tommy Armgstrong is the future. I would unquestionably let him take this next game. But the MO under Bo is to let a 75% Martinez play over a 100% backup. Quote Link to comment
Flood Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Well, this clears up a lot of the UCLA game criticism from announcers and fans. He didn't run enough, they said. Now we have a clue why. Hope it heals quicker than is usual. A month or several months is not unheard of for this injury. Hyper-extension of the big toe has got to be painful. I can't imagine trying to run on that. And just the thought of exacerbating it or someone falling on it . . . Ouch! Quote Link to comment
Creighton Duke Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Abdullah in the Wildcat for the entire game! Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Wish they would've tried Tommy against UCLA. Without the legitimate threat to break off 20+ yard runs, Taylor goes from an 8 to a 4. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 But the MO under Bo is to let a 75% Martinez play over a 100% backup. And none of us should voice loud criticism towards that, because Bo and co. are the only ones that know if a 75% Martinez is a better or worse chance to win than a 100% backup. Play who gives you the best shot to win. Period. If that's a less effective Martinez, then it is. 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 IIRC, RKIII would get the start in place of an injured Martinez. If it was long term, possibly several games or season it goes to Armstrong. Sadly, a one dimensional QB in an offense predicated on the running threat equals a loss. Martinez without speed is bad. Watching his initial games this season, I do not think this just happened. Quote Link to comment

I am possibly in the minority who thinks a healthy Lee got us another win or 2 in 2010 over a one legged Martinez. If a player is better injured than his back up, we have bigger problems than we think..... Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Dummy here - what's the cause? FieldTurf? Same thing as snub toe? Quote Link to comment
