RedPhoenix Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 So..... Is this the part where we give up 38 straight points? Or is this the part where Beck adjusts to his famous "stall" or "play not to lose" scheme? He doesn't have to. TM is on the bench. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm very curious to see how our defense comes out in the second half. I'm curious how the offense comes out in the second half. last week both sides came out very, very flat Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm very curious to see how our defense comes out in the second half. probably jauntily jogging out of the tunnel walk. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Tommy's not nearly as fast or explosive as Taylor from what we've seen, but he executes the read option very well. Well, Taylor without turf toe anyway. I don't think Martinez has been close to full speed four a couple of games now. Quote Link to comment
Paul in WI Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Tommy's not nearly as fast or explosive as Taylor from what we've seen, but he executes the read option very well. I think Tommy's so smooth that he doesn't look as fast or explosive as he really is. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 So this is our offense with a low amount of turnovers? I like it! Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Can't help but think we take a knee to end the half if Martinez is in the game. It's nice not having to be so worried about that ill-timed INT or fumble right there. Quote Link to comment

okaive Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Wait, Iowa is winning? Quote Link to comment

It's nice not having to be so worried about that ill-timed INT or fumble right there. It's nice not cringing every time the ball is thrown knowing there's a 50/50 chance it will be picked off 1 Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Tommy's not nearly as fast or explosive as Taylor from what we've seen, but he executes the read option very well. Tommy seems to have a little more wiggle than Taylor. I still say if we're not going to unleash Taylor's running, then why start him? Maybe if the coaches feel more comfortable about the backups, they'll let Taylor run. Quote Link to comment

Well, Taylor without turf toe anyway. I don't think Martinez has been close to full speed four a couple of games now. Yet he seems to be more of a running threat and can avoid tackles, instead of curling up in a ball a getting crushed because he can't move laterally. Quote Link to comment
Husker in CA Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Mixing runs with a passing attack. Keeps their defense on their heels. Seeing our skill players do more than dive for poorly thrown passes or perimeter blocking is refreshing. When you can stretch the offensive legs and get balls to the skill players, the offense is dangerous. When your QB is timid in the pocket and 3 and 5 seems utterly impossible, you'll have troubles all season long. Worst case scenario is we are getting a peek at what could have been for the season and hopefully what's coming next season. On offense at least. Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Our second and third string qbs are both better passers than our starter. I'd be inclined to agree, but then I remembered we're playing SDSU. Let's wait on this until we see TA and/or RKIII against B1G competition. And the way this year is going, I believe we're gonna see them play significant minutes during the heart of our schedule. We saw TA make a couple throws under heavy pressure. We also saw him make a couple quick and correct decisions on the option. Quote Link to comment
