Rex Burkhead's All-Big Ten honor, 2011 Team MVP award and team captain status exemplify his leadership. Taylor Martinez is another valuable leader because he’s Nebraska’s Offensive MVP for a season that will be fully defined Jan. 2 in the Capital One Bowl. Burkhead and Martinez are Nebraska’s two most consistent playmakers. They’re the 1-2 punch that Top 10-ranked South Carolina must solve, and know this: Burkhead and Martinez aren’t just an extraordinary quarterback-running back rushing tandem. They’re the third most productive such tandem in college football.

Together, Burkhead (with 1,268 yards) and Martinez (with 837 yards) have rushed for a combined total of 2,105 yards, ranking behind only QB-RB tandems from Northern Illinois (2,314) and Michigan (2,174) this season. The five QB-RB combinations behind Nebraska also had productive seasons: No. 4 Wisconsin (2,079 yards), followed by Virginia Tech (2,043), Kansas State (2,032), Missouri (2,007) and Baylor (1,991).

It's common knowledge that the team doesn't like him and never has because he's in a leadership position and isn't a leader, that is unless you believe the huskers.com fluff pieces.

It being common knowledge would imply that the players had made it public, through interviews, or social networking....I haven't noticed any of that....

 
I know who AFHusker is! He is obviously a person who has some problem with Taylor off the field so that means he's a horrible person on the field.
