They don't release a depth chart of anything like that so he's not going to either. Martinez didn't even practice last week but Frost was saying the same things all week. He's practiced this whole week. Unless there is a setback, I'd be shocked if he isn't out there. I’m beginning to be struck by how your reads are the diametric opposite of mine. Not only do I doubt that he is ready to start, I doubt if he would be called for in emergency action. While Frost is certainly not tipping his hand, I think he knows that (barring some funny bounces) NU loses this game despite A.M. playing. A loss is still a loss, so why not give him another week & save him for a possible victory the following week (when he COULD be the difference)? Quote Link to comment
runningblind Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 All I know is that if Bunch starts, I will probably crack a beer open at 1001 AM for the first time in about 10 years. 5 1 Quote Link to comment
Michiganball Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 On one hand Martinez would help a lot, though he might worsen he's injury, on the other hand get him to110% for an easier game and likely win vs Purdue. It might come down to how much pressure Frost is feeling. I'm tilting towards Martinez starting, especially with him being "day to day". Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 If Martinez is good to go I think Frost plays him for the road game experience but tries to limit his exposure. It doesn't get much bigger than the big house. Quote Link to comment

Even if he plays the whole game, do you think he'd have the green light for any designed run? As thin as we are at QB, we might have to rethink the dual threat thing this season.

Brunch Beer, I like it. If the other guy starts call it an A.M. Beer. Either way you're maintaining good hydration and that's the important thing this season. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 We sound like a bunch of mother hens trying to protect a fragile egg. If AM is ready to play he will start. He may get injured on the first play or he may go through the next 4 year's without incident.... Coaches can't dwell on that. They play the best they have and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'd start and play AM. If he doesn't look right or says his knee hurts after a few series - put Bunch in. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 if he is not 110% why risk him in a game we have little chance to win? Quote Link to comment
