Cam is smothering Bell. For a guy with such an absolutely terrible start to the season he has rebounded terrifically.

Bell is the dude who talked about knowing exactly what the D would do? Right?

I honestly think it would send a strong message to the entire team if Frost actually does bench Martinez for the next drive.

It shouldn't matter how many years you've started - if you can't execute at your assigned position you will get benched.

He likely won't. Frost is too stubborn.  What does it say about him and Verduzco in year 4 of their tenure that they do not feel they have any other QB that can come in and play better than Martinez.

I imagine this is how the d is looking at the rest of this game

 

[Packerhuskerfan]

If we lose, it is all on Martinez. 

 

[Big red surfers]

Great,  another lights out performance by the def spoiled by horrible QB play.   

 

[DefenderAO]

Can we see more Yant please?  Or did he get benched for going the wrong way once?

Maybe we should let him throw it, get picked, and play more...

Martinez is a liability in this game. He makes horrible decisions at the absolute worst times. Frost enables that behavior by allowing the status quo. Does he even question cigar smoking buffoon about his work with Martinez or lack off.

Good coaches understand this and would do it.

Frost doesn't. Or won't.

We HAVE TO score here. TD, not a field goal.

Put Yant back in, run it down their throats this drive.

 

[Cornbred]

I don't know about you guys. This all steel ad along with the rest are pi**ing me off!

 

[Scarlet]

Whelp here we are again.  Time to take control against an inferior opponent (on paper).  We have to kick down the door sometime

 

[HuskerNation1]

If we lose, it is all on Martinez. 

And the staff's decision to keep Martinez in these games and apparently not have developed a capable backup that can manage the offense without creating turnovers.  

 

[The Duke]

He likely won't. Frost is too stubborn.  What does it say about him and Verduzco in year 4 of their tenure that they do not feel they have any other QB that can come in and play better than Martinez.  

Exactly!

 

[Born N Bled Red]

Defense needs to score.

This is where I think Frost has issues.  Yant benched.  AM....Nada
