Fall Camp

I still think the job is A. Martinez's to lose.  In reality though, I really don't care who starts as long as he legit wins the job.  And if it happens to be Gebbia, or even Bunch--so be it.

 
I think, and I'm only guessing here, that another part of why people think Martinez wins the job is because Gebbia didn't beat out Lee and POB was Lee's backup. So he didn't win the job in an offense that played to his strengths, and how he's trying to win the job in an offense that probably isn't ideal for him. On the other hand they may have just been saving his redshirt last year.

@Moiraine I think another factor is that a lot of fans want Martinez not necessarily because he's a better overall QB, but because he better matches their mental image of what a Nebraska QB should look like, ie a guy that can run it. Some (understandable) anti-Riley bias is probably in play here as well.

Can you see the field from the top of Oldfather?

Maybe, but from there you'd need some pretty good binoculars.

Is the scrimmage talked about in the OP happening in Memorial Stadium? If so, my other post is bad info. If it's at the stadium maybe you could see it from Oldfather, but I think the East Stadium building would block most of it.

I'd say all of you posts are bad info.   ;)

I am basing my thinking that AM will be the starter based on what HCSF has said.  1) That Martinez was, in his opinion, the best QB coming out of high school last year.  And 2) Frost really recruited AM hard.  

I am not saying AM was guaranteed the #1 spot at all.  I'm just saying when the head coach tells the press that a kid he recruited is, in his opinion, the best guy nationally at his position, that means something.  

I think Gebbia and Bunch would be okay as starters.  I don't think they'd stink it up, but Martinez is the show.  He's entering his true freshman season and he's already been compared to Marcus Mariota.  If AM is actually as good as Mariota, there is no way he's not the #1 QB by the time the Akron game rolls around.

 
I still think whoever has a better grasp on the offense and playbook wins the job. Frost has said this before, and we all have hear that Gebbia has been a film junkie since day 1. We have no idea if Martinez is or isn't, if I was going to bet, I think Gebbia starts week 1, but we see a lot of both Qb's and then as the season goes on whoever plays better gets the nod. But it wouldn't surprise me if this QB race goes fairly deep into the season, if not all season.
