Taylor has had good stats through the first 3 games, and I am a huge Taylor supporter. But, there was something missing against UCLA. He wasn't a threat to run, and it may have been his turf toe injury. Plus, Martinez is not a good "deep passer" so NU wasn't going to get any "big plays" against UCLA. As I said, I really like Martinez, but if he's not a threat to run, he is a very average QB.
Exactly. The things that these coaches expect us to blindly swallow completely amaze me. If they're being truthful, they've got some real communication issues amongst themselves--and that is even worse.
Jesus man, did you even watch the UCLA game. He had -21 yards rushing. Even the announcers said he looks like a senior in HS not a senior in college.
will someone else be calling the plays?
The more wow factor will come when he doesn't fumble every time he is tackled while running the ball. I'll take a few less completion points for more ball security.
I hope the kid has a freaking great game! But what you will see is something like 60% completion, 175-200 yards, 40 yards rushing and probably two turnovers. Yet, that will still make many fans have a cream session in the old red/white overalls.
I hope so. You gotta have some fun with these kids. Before the game and between every quarter you should have the team come together, have someone tell a joke, then have some guys start singing and do some jump around and get fired up no matter what the score is. Keep the energy up no matter what.
You say this and then blame Beck for play calling with your next post. It can't go both ways. Beck's a little handcuffed with a fumbling machine, calls safe passes so be doesn't throw and int. it's fairly obvious.
This is why im saying there will be a controversy not because TA will do well. I have no idea how well he will play.
