Adrian Martinez

It's not the refs they have been calling those kind of penalties for 10 years. You have to adjust to it. Why haven't we?

 
This team will go as far as AM takes them. Which right now doesn’t look like very far. He’s had a lot of time to throw but just doesn’t seem to have elite instincts. I really hope we see him settle down and get in a groove.

So first have thoughts 

1. Outplayed Illinois but 

2. Poor special teams 

3. Mistakes mistakes mistakes 

4. Wr still underperforming 

5. Poor decisions by Martinez 

6. Outcoached

 
I was very skeptical of all the preseason talk, but it's going to be hard not to laugh at it going forward. With Adrian. With the entire team.

 
Here’s something late in the game I noticed, that is on just smart thought and lack of coaching. 
 

there was about 38 seconds left in the game and Martinez had apparently no one to throw to so he ended up just throwing the ball away out of bounds.

Now with no timeouts and only 38 seconds left and seemingly no opened WR to throw to, you’d think throwing it away was the good option, and it was, but it was how he did it that was incorrect.

he throws a lob on his back foot out of bounds. The choice to throw a lob out of bounds cost 3-4 seconds more to tick off the clock.

why not throw a quick pass out of bounds? This may be a small thing, but this was something I noticed that I think you could point directly to coaching. 4 year senior should be able to recognize a lob is going to take crucial time off.
