LumberJackSker Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I cant see enough to be 100 percent sure its a cheap/dirty play. Couldnt hear when the play was blown dead in that video either. 44 might have been twisting the leg after the play was over or it might just look bad. Might just be an unfortunate play. 1 Quote Link to comment

I reaaaaalllly hate the whole “stuff happens in football.” It happens only because we shrug It off with comments like that. If players are held accountable for dirty actions like this it will stop or at least happen less. Hell I think it already happens less than say 20 years ago just because of having access to every play and more cameras and whatnot. Ultimately this is something th NCAA needs to start emphasizing since it puts players safety in limbo My point was simply that the camera caught one instance. I have a hard time believing that if you went back and studied every play you wouldn’t find similar stuff on other plays by players on both sides. I am just not convinced that one player caught doing something dirty makes it ‘dirty football from traditionally one of the dirtiest programs’. I was not trying to imply that players should do it, just that it does happen. To your first point, if a Husker was caught doing that, I’m betting more people would be championing some nastiness on our defense than condemning dirty play. Edit: I’m not trying to imply that you’re a hypocrite at all. I believe you would feel the same way if it was a Husker player who was caught, just that most fans would excuse what the video shows due to homerism, or whatever. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Curiosity got the best of me...Seems #44 liked twisting legs during/after a tackle even before he became a Buff.. Quote Link to comment
Zaimejs Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Watching the video and seeing that extra little twist at the end makes my stomach churn. Those of us who have suffered a knee injury can attest to the pain that caused... I hope it wasn't dirty and intentional, but I see no reason for him to do that except to cause pain.

Warrior Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The Initial hit looks fine. It's the extra-curricular activity after the play that is the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Here's a better look at 44 cranking on Martinez's leg. If I'm Frost I give Colorado's coach a call in no uncertain terms and tell him this kid shouldn't be pulling crap like this. It's dirty AF. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

You really should watch what you stick into your scuzzy port, you dirty sailor. --- And I don't think the hit was dirty, but what was happening on the ground should have at least merited a warning to the Colorado player, if not a full-fledged flag.

This was the one I saw Saturday night that made me think it wasn't just our fans complaining like Chad May. There's a throwback reference. Quote Link to comment
r06ue1 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Quote Martinez was injured on a play where a Colorado defender appeared to hold on to Martinez's leg and twist. Frost was guarded in how he talked about the play on Monday and said the play had been turned in to the Big Ten and Pac-12 for review. Frost updates Adrian Martinez injury status Quote Link to comment
