Why this thread makes me think of Carrot Top is beyond me. Something is wrong with this collective.

Hey, Taylor fought like a warrior. No bones about that. However, after he lost to Texas his freshman year, he was nothing. Yeah, he had some good comebacks against average teams, but always disappeared when the callber of opponent was higher.

 

Yep, like that game against #17 Ok State in 2010 where he went 19 carries for 112 yards on the ground and 23-35 for 323 through the air with 5 tds. Just a pitiful performance the week after that Texas game.

 

 

Need I remind you of Wisconsin (twice), Ohio State, UCLA (twice), Michigan, South Carolina, Washington? Do you realize that TM was 5-8 in his career against ranked teams? Do you know how many ranked teams TM beat on the road? Two.

Was he the only one playing in those games? I'm just curious. Was he the one playing defense?? Did he allow 63 to Ohio State? 70 to Wisconsin? etc etc. Blaming Martinez for the entirety all of those losses is pure stupidity.

So your going to say Taylor was nothing after the Texas Game Freshman year?

 

2010:

#14 OSU- 23/35 for 323 yards, 19 carries for 112 yards

#6 Missouri- 6/9 for 115 yards, Ankle Injury this game and really was immobile, still won us the biggest game during conference play (excluding CCG)

The rest of this season didn't look good for him, because of that injury, and honestly, he should have never been on the field. Hard to bash on a kid when he played, even when he shouldn't have been due to his injury.

 

2011: Again, still lingering injury all season, and hindered his performance.

tOSU- 16/22 for 191 yards, 17 carries for 102. (To remind you, this is a game where many of this fan base thought we were going to lose, and the media)

#11 MSU- 7/13 for 80 yards, Again played through an injury and called a great game and adjusted accordingly to the "best" defense in the BIG.

#12 PSU- Stats weren't great, but again, he was injured, and still carried us past a ranked PSU team.

 

2012- Healthiest Martinez we have seen all year, close to being 100% as he physically could be.

UCLA- 17/31 for 179 yards and 1 INT, 13 carries for 112 yards. We lost this game because of defense. Allowed 653 yards of offense. Hard to blame Tmart.

WI (pt1)- 17/29 181 yards and 0 INT, 13 carries, 107 yards. Underdog and we won.

#22 UM- Stats weren't great, IIRC he was injured midway though the game. 14/24 for 166 yards, 14 carries for 58 yards. We pulled out the W as an underdog.

WI (pt2)- 17/33 for 184 yards, 19 carries for 140 yards. I think we can agree that the defense was the reason we lost this one as well with 640 yards allowed.

 

2013: Pretty much injured midway through the Wyoming game.

 

1.5 seasons this kid has been healthy in 4 active years.I fail to see how he disappeared against a higher caliber team, unless you count Nebraska playing him when he was litterally 50% healthy, if that. Had we had a defense in some of those losses, where he did enough where we should have won, there would be a different tune being sung.

[skersfan]

Knapp, could you tell us more about this Martinez guy, not familiar with the history.

[TITANIC VS LUSITANIA]

I liked the part about the wrecking ball

 

[JTrain]

If it were EZ's list, it would be all incoming recruits because they are beasts.

[NoKoolAidForME]

why do people insist on providing nick names for our players? Is SJB even Baptist? Who would want that as a nick-name?

 

"First Baptist or Southern Baptist?"

 

"...First Baptist, of course."

 

"Well, thank the good Lord, Pete. Cuz we don't think too much about Southern Baptists around here, if you catch my drift."

 

Loved that movie.

Wrecking Ball video is too sexual? Back to the drawing board...

I agree that Martinez was still a good weapon after the Texas game in 2010 but a couple of the examples you give are slightly flawed as examples to prove that point.

 

2010 vs Missouri.......Yes he was 6/9 for 112 yards, but that was because he was getting stomped every time he tried to run the ball. He had 12 attempts for 16 yards (1.3 ypc). That game was won because of the amazing performance that Roy Helu was having. The Tigers knew that if they blinked at the wrong time, Helu was running another 60 yard TD. This allow Martinez to dump off or throw some slants in the first half to create a little passing game for the Huskers.

 

2011....Martinez was healthy enough to play and compete. No need to say he was "lingering" in order to provide an excuse for him not being as explosive as he was early in his freshman season. No injury "hindered" his production. No one is going to have a 874 yard rushing season with a "lingering" injury to their ankle. Martinez's rushing attack was altered in the 2011(& 2012) seasons due to Green/Lee no longer being apart of the roster. Carnes never really got it together between the ears and Kellogg didn't show he was anymore comfortable in 2012. So Martinez practically played with no back up. We needed him healthy.

 

Also, just like another poster suggested that you can't blame Martinez for many losses vs these rank teams, in that same stance, you can't give him sole credit for the wins either. The game vs MSU in 2011 was won off defense. If you hold a team to 187 yards total, then you win that game more times than not.

 

And again, Martinez had NO INJURY that kept him from competing at any point of the 2012 season including the Michigan game. If that were the case, he would have been held out of practice or atleast a drill at some point throughout the season, which did no happen.

 

2013, Martinez was not injure in the Wyo game nor So Miss. TM just wasn't playing with a sense of urgency. Maybe he was thinking ahead to the UCLA game. A game in which he looked forward to playing since he was a freshman as he said before the first meeting in Pasadena the previous year. Martinez came out firing in the UCLA game this season. Showed a level of competitiveness that he did show vs Wyo & So Miss. He had to have been injured or mentally whipped somewhere in the 2nd quarter, because after the last scoring drive, his composure totally changed.

Already typed out my team before I realized you wanted just Bo recruits. And I'm too lazy to fix it.

SJB over Dennard?

 

Can you imaging a DL w/ Gregory, Crick, Suh and Martin? Dear God.

 

We are about to have about the closest to that equal in 2015. Gregory, Clinkscales, Valentine, Newell.

If you think Gregory will be here in 2015 you're kidding yourself. And considering we haven't seen 2 of these 4, and the other is yet to live up to his potential I'd say this is a HUGE stretch to even discuss them in the same convo as guys like Crick, Suh and Martin.
