Then you probably also understand yesterday being more about purdue, karlaftis and our back 7 than about Martinez.

frost got in what the film showed him he could get in against us. Then Purdue tightened the screws and adjusted to everything he had in his tool box

as their own reporter said “they couldn’t crack an egg in the run game against Purdue In the second half”. It was clear Martinez couldn’t outrun our defense side to side.

so now what? Same position as Oconnell last week.. running game can’t help you, everything is covered pretty well, and the pass rush is coming and you know it.

and so it’s easy to watch and be like a Nebraska fan and say Adrian is just playing dumb.. that wasn’t it. Adrian was moved into those positions by our defense, pressured, and it worked..

If the problem was just Martinez, they would have brought in another QB.

Bottom line is AOC had more time and more open receivers than Martinez did.

Martinez made some awful decisions against us. That shovel pass to Graham was horrible. Cam Allen dropped a potential Pick-6 early in the game. Graham had a Pick-6. Martinez did play dumb. Frost yelled at him when he ran out-of-bounds before getting a first down. He could have gotten the first down fairly easily. He has low awareness.

A couple things .. 1) that’s him. If he was drew Brees up stairs, I’m not sure Nebraska fans know this, but he wouldn’t be there. 2) it was like Oconnell against Wisconsin .. the defense had things covered well and he knew they were coming. When that happens, your clock shrinks and you start missing defenders etc

If he was truly the problem, he would have been benched…

But Nebraska fans can’t see it that way, because they might have to admit Purdue is good in some way. The Barrett ruud podcast said they were missing two dominant players and then they were like “if we had someone at DE like karlaftis.. ERRRR I MEAN hutchinson from Michigan.” It’s like they almost realized “oh it depended on the opponent?”

When Martinez plays against good defenses he tends to make boneheaded decisions - doesn’t matter what team it is. That’s why Frostie is 15-26 with Martinez as his primary QB.

He was for some games last year. Luke McCaffrey played in his place some. Noah Vedral (now at Rutgers) got some snaps too. Luke transferred before this season. Frost can’t seem to figure out that Martinez is dragging him down and will likely be a major contributor for him getting fired.

Ok see we are on the same page.. what you just stated was correct. Nebraska fans think we suck and Martinez just did that.. so do their podcasts
