That's one of those absolutes that people throw out to set up a straw man. Are you really telling me that no backups in the history of football were better than the starter? Have fun defending that one. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska kid that probably grew up dreaming about making a kick to win a Husker game. That would be why he walked on. I thought he was a safety converted to kicker? 1 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 In deed! Our kicker scored 7 points. Rest of team- 6. Thank goodness Noah Vedral was a 'team' player to never complain, transfer away from NU or otherwise, and just patiently and unselfishly wait in the wings (in the shadows really) for his 15 minutes of fame and saves the day! His performance was exceptional under the pressure and circumstances. The rest of the team playing like deer in the headlights and he calmly goes in and leads a couple solid possessions, without major error and makes a couple great plays to avoid sacks, etc. and good throw on a critical down. Managed the clock perfectly, etc. He's a gamer! 1 Quote Link to comment

Don't know if its execution or play calling, but the Noah run O looks crisper. Might be he looks for read 1 and then goes. He did look like he had less "happy feet" than Martinez.

Gotta start somewhere. Quote Link to comment

BoNeyard Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Martinez was still limping walking off the field. Given his previous injuries, my guess is Vedral gets the start next week vs Minnesota. Quote Link to comment

Even if it's because Amarts head isnt into it he's clearly not the same. Vedral gives us the best chance to win next week. Quote Link to comment

I think Taylor Martinez got hurt either before or during the MN game in 2013 and Tommie Armstrong took over. 1 Quote Link to comment
