presidentjlh Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 I dislike his word choice though. It sounds like he's still open to Martinez starting. No, Bo. No no no no no. He has to be 100% healthy first. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Unless Taylor suffered that hip pointer on the last play, WHERE WAS ARMSTRONG?!?!? Beyond frustrated by this. WTH? That's exactly what I was thinking. Not healthy enough to practice the day after the game both this week and after UCLA but healthy enough to play every snap. agree, Bo has sh#t the bed on trust........ Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I wish some of you guys would go watch the tape and tell me what quarterback we have on the roster would've done any better with that same play calling and sh#t ass line play. Not one. Hell, if it weren't for Martinez's long run we probably wouldn't have scored again. What's the point of playing a hurt QB? Especially when his injury takes away the only part of his game defensive coaches fear. Quote Link to comment
Glendower Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yes, he said "if we played today," but when directly asked if Tommy would be starting this weekend, he said he didn't know. Quote Link to comment

But those were on passing plays. On run plays we repeatedly gashed that team. So why the hell didn't we run the ball more? 1 Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Lots of stuff coming out of that presser. Some more good bits: @mitchsherman Bo: "You're going to see some new guys" against Northwestern this week. Mentions Rose, Banderas. @mitchsherman If Nebraska played today, Armstrong would start at QB. @HailVarsity Pelini says if #Huskers played today Armstrong would start, Kellogg filling in. Martinez suffered hip pointer, didn't practice Sun. I hope Thad Randle starts. We need him badly. @GrantMuessel The hip pointer shouldn't affect his status for long though. Taylor played through it Saturday. #Huskers @ESPN_BigTen Pelini says Martinez looked him in eye and said he was ready to go. At some point, have to let him try. Had numerous conversations about it. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! He played through the hip pointer? Imma flip my sh#t in about two seconds. Cripes........... This sh#t is sickening........ The poor kid is going to seriously injure himself....... You want him ready for the NFL? Don't play him......... TM will never play a down on Sundays....all he has to offer is straight line speed....one tangible asset won't get his ticket punched. Quote Link to comment

I have to believe that a healthy QB that has starting/playing experience would give you a better chance than a hurt one. But that's just me. Yes the defense was bad but the Huskers "prolific offense" managed only 13 points after the first quarter. That is saying something. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not one. Hell, if it weren't for Martinez's long run we probably wouldn't have scored again. The offensive gameplay and calls would have been completely different. Minnesota knew Martinez was hampered and wouldnt be able to take off liek he really can. There was no need to shadow Martinez or worry about his running. They sat back, played coverage and let thier front 4 guys go after Martinez. Martinez couldn't beat the coverage. RKII could have, and TA would have used his legs to make more plays. I couldnt count on my hands the number fo times Martinez could have ran and picked up 5 or 6 yards at least on broke passing plays. To say Martinez didnt hamper this offense in the least is ignorant as crap. 8 Quote Link to comment

Especially when his injury takes away the only part of his game defensive coaches fear. I get what you're saying, but I think this may have more to do with Taylor being adamant that he is good to go then Bo just wanting to throw him out there. Bo started backups in two big ten games, one which was away. I dont think he would have hesitated against minnesota if he knew that Taylor wasn't ready to go. There's a lot of smoke and mirrors with it. And how do we know that Taylor even made Bo aware that he had a hip pointer in the game? We already know Taylor has the tendency to try and win the game by himself, yet everyone seems to think that Taylor just went up to Bo and said "hey, my hip hurts, pull me." I really doubt Bo knew during the course of the game. Or if anyone did, for that matter. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Then again, what is the difference between this and post UCLA? There's a lot of things different about losing to UCLA who many people thought we would and losing to Minnesota who very few thought we would. It's about like asking what the difference is between losing to Ohio State and South Dakota State. Quote Link to comment
