Don’t want to bag on the kid too much. But guys like Morgan, Westerkamp, Bell, etc do whatever it takes to catch that ball.
Between the pick six and missing Toure wide open for a TD, this is starting to feel like a game where we find a way to lose
He needs to lay out, but the vast majority of D1 QBs make a throw that leads to an easy TD on that play.
Done with Martinez. He is a great guy... I’m not knocking him off the field. On the field ... year 4... throws pick 6... then can’t hit a wide open WR for 6... it’s over and over and over with him. He NEVER EVER MAKES A PLAY.. But he sure makes the turnovers that lose us games... Broken record for 4 years
And he wanted to stay upright to get into the end zone, since he can’t be confident they would punch it in from there.
Have to do what you have to do. Not every pass is good (and that one wasn’t) but you need to bring that one in.
This is some major revisionist history. Adrian makes a lot of great plays. He just balances them out with the bad ones. He’s Jekyll and Hyde.
I agree with your play assessment 99 percent of the time, but that's on Adrian imo.
Mostly agree.
He’s does make plays, he just NEVER makes plays when we need it most
1st half pros and cons
Pros
- haven’t been forced to punt
- run game looks solid
- no pre-snap penalties
- defense only let up 7 points
- New kicker is perfect so for
Cons
- pick six
- defense can’t force three and outs
- Purdue (zero run game) is running at will
Let’s see if we can plug up the run game a bit and keep it rolling on offense.

Usually Adrian underthrows it.
Could it have been caught? Yes. Should it have been? Yes
Is Adrian Martinez a good QB? No. He is an athlete that spazzes out.
There are limits to saying that regarding passes though. Put that one on the QB. WIDE FING open. Gives him a much bigger window and still blew it.
There’s always a piano on everyone’s back because there is never breathing room. Between opportunities missed and gifts to the other team, we are always one play away from disaster.
Classic NU: at half, no punts, D has only given up 7 points—-only a 3 point lead.
Again, well said. Makes it even worse when you think how being up 17 could change the entire complexion of the game.
Im going to put it on both of them. QB should have thrown a better ball, WR should have caught that ball.
Kinda wish we’d take more shots in the red zone, but then on the other hand I get the fear of an INT in traffic.
Is it me or did we completely change our offensive philosophy (that was working) coming out of the half?
I don't like being negative but I'll be stunned if Nebraska wins this game. I've seen this movie before.
