Taylor stepping into his throws

Did anyone else think his foot work looked better yesterday? Perfect? NO. Better? YES and that is reflected by the numbers. Dropped passes didn't help our cause yesterday.

 
Some looked better, some looked awful--one pass had me crying with laughter because of how contorted TMart was. I couldn't believe that he kept his feet afterwards.

But whatever, he had a pretty decent game and as soft as NFW was playing, I expected even more passes. Get the ball in the WRs hands and they can make people miss, and with 8 in the box NFW was ripe for the plucking. Too bad it didn't work out that way--Bell's drops and the two fumbles really killed momentum in the first half. Martinez' inaccuracy and lack of touch doesn't help, but in the end I'd prefer him to be more elusive when running. He ran pretty strong yesterday which was a nice change.

 
I could live with a shot put to Turner and let him make a play................ops................scratch that............he's not on the field.....................

 
Yeah, he looked extremely confident in the pocket. I don't think we've seen Taylor with that type of confidence in his arm since the Missouri game last year. Combine that with the fact he's clearly matured and continues to grow and the future of the Huskers looks very bright.

 
I can be corrected if I'm wrong, but doesn't Northwestern have a terrible pass defense?

I'm not using this to slight Martinez, but rather support him. If they're bad, they should be exploited as such, and Martinez did that. Personally, I found Martinez to be the most steady part of the offense yesterday. What with dropped balls, poor offensively line play and virtually no running game, he played very well against a team he should have been playing well against.

Yeah, we were back to our old ways of dropping passes all over the place again. C'mon Fisher......

 
I was more surprised how quickly he got rid of the ball. It was ugly, like always, but it didn't seem like it was in slow motion. Maybe that's just on the long balls.

 
He was on point, regardless of what mechanical changes he may or may not have made. It was really impressive given the wind.

Going into the game NW was 78th against the pass and 95th against the run. The Huskers should have been able to exploit both.

 
Get over the Turner is not playing thing. He's not practicing well, he's making mistakes in practice, and he's not fully tuned in mentally, so he's not seeing the field as he could. This if from the mouth of Rich Fisher, who works with the wr's everyday, so I'll take his word for it.
