r06ue1 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 He outplayed Blough and that is no small feat. Oz got a lot of credit and deservedly so but it was Martinez who was the real game changer. He still has a lot to learn, but once he cleans up some of those misreads and bad throws, watch out!

YellowShirt Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I am hoping the offense figured out what works well in the second half and we build on it through the remainder of the year. Until that interception we looked unstoppable. Makes me excited for the future with 2 more years of the Martinez to Speilman connection. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 One thing I would like to see...and I don't know if this is on Martinez really...but Purdue ran quite a few what I would call ungardable routes. Short crossers, quick hitches, and in and outs. We run these same concepts and we got Martinez some easy completions but I'd honestly like to see a few more. Purdue ate us up with quick short routes. I suppose it would help if we could cut block as effectively as Purdue did Quote Link to comment

For a true freshmen I think he stays in the pocket for a very long time. He runs out of perfect pockets, he did this multiple times Saturday, where if he just steps up into the pocket he is safe to throw. Quote Link to comment

Nebfanatic Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Getting nitpicky, but one thing I would really like to see Martinez get better at that could help our offense is attacking defenders on pitch options or RPO's. He does a fantastic job in the zone read game but it seems to me he struggles a bit at attacking defenders on the outside for a pitch or quick throw to the reciever. We ran a few of these against Purdue and they worked with some success but I think that is one way we could see our offense evolve over the course of the season. Martinez will get better at these little things with experience, time in the film room and practice. This can be said about every player on the team and I think that just goes to show how far we have to go, but also how good we can be. Quote Link to comment

I agree that Martinez needs to improve this aspect, but mastering the mesh point will improve for Martinez as he gets more reps. He split reps in fall practice with Gebbia, and then he has been limited in practices after the CU game. As he gets more reps in practice and in games, I expect Martinez to improve this aspect of Frost's offense. 3 Quote Link to comment

I pointed it out just to say there are so many little things that could make us better that can be improved upon with more experience across the board. I can just imagine we can get this offense clicking later in the season when we tighten these little aspects up. Then we can forget anyone was ever questioning Frosts offensive wizardry. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jason Sitoke Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 He's going to be very good, barring injury. He's a very dynamic runner with great ability to escape when necessary. He has a strong arm and has displayed some tremendous accuracy with the deep ball. He's going to get bigger and stronger. He's also going to be an expert with this offense in the next few years, which means the timing routes, the option reads, etc are only going to improve. Quote Link to comment

I think he has as much total potential as just about any Husker true freshman quarterback of the last 30 years. He threw for 323 yards and ran for 91. We had 582 yards of total offense - the third time we had more offensive yards than the other team out of four games. This kid is extremely special and it kind of feels like it's getting drowned out by being 0-4, but it shouldn't. I could watch this clip all day: I mean...wow. Talk about having the whole package. As a true freshman. He releases the ball knowing Spielman is going to beat his man and drops it into the only spot that allows Spielman to haul it in. Pretty incredible stuff in my opinion. It's so refreshing to see a Nebraska QB set his feet and step into a throw. Watching guys fall away all these years, even when it worked out, just killed me. Quote Link to comment

The interception was pretty much exactly what you mentioned, but we should see more of the great throws and fewer poor ones over time. He throws a really pretty ball when it all goes right for sure Quote Link to comment
