Slightly different formation with Allen coming in motion, but same play. youtu.be/olQt-cPIlBE&t=7m10s With Michigan in cover zero if Vokolek gets the right block it could have been a TD. There was nobody left beyond 5 yards... Nice find! I didn't remember the TE leading up like that. Although it almost looks to me like he was expecting to kick out but Benhart was already blocking the DE so he redirected up through the hole. Either way, that works. Quote Link to comment

If you watch the rest of the game, they do that play again a couple of times. Wish the TE would have done it correctly against MI. Like was said earlier. If he could have blocked the LB, there was nobody behind him. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is why complaining about play calling on one single, failed play is typically lazy fan stuff; it's low hanging fruit that is so easy to have as a go-to. Weak side option on 3rd & 7 would have sounded dumb to fans of other teams circa 1993 and also today, but if everybody makes their block it works. I will say that while Martinez is in my opinion the best player on our entire football team, preferably I think on that play late in the 4th quarter against UM you really want a guy like Yant taking the handoff there. The issue is that they know what's coming in that scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment

The issue is that they know what's coming in that scenario. That has been my only negative thought on that play (obviously, other than the fumble). I would have preferred an RB having the ball in his hands. But, then it's also possible the other team would have easily stuffed him since they would have known what's coming. They needed...what? 3 yards? It's not like it was 4th and inches. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I love this kid and he is a baller. We don’t have anyone better and he keeps us in games, makes some good plays. but when it matters most for 4 straight years HE CHOKES My solution: we just have to live with it. It is what it is 4 Quote Link to comment
SECHusker Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He lacks situational awareness... Like his coach 4 Quote Link to comment
Hagg Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 And the hell of it is that he does those things in critical situations. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Just living it with it is doing us absolutely no good. Bench him and don’t invite him back. Next guy up may not be as good but so what. Losing is losing. It can’t get any worse unless you think 3 wins is better than none or 1 or 2 Quote Link to comment
ndobney Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Exactly been saying this! Martinez is a choke artist Quote Link to comment
HuskerPriest Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I like Adrian….seems like a good dude and represents NU well. But some people thrive under pressure and win and some don’t. AM doesn’t. 2 Quote Link to comment

He's a great player but he's a choke artist and will lose you all the games that are close Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He needs to leave after this year. A different QB can manage the game and not piss it away at the end. Kirk Cousins of college football. Empty stats. 1 Quote Link to comment
