With a long reception (maybe a TD?) called back cause of a illegal formation? 1st play, I believe?

Martinez is the starter

Bell, IMO, was the best back today.
Only 5 horses ran the preakness that year? Wow, alot harder to get the triple crown these days with up to 12 horses, I believe.
Martinez can scoot, no doubt about it. However, having just finished watching the first half, Gebbia looked really good also. Bunch looked pretty good too. I honestly don't know who the starter will be, but Gebbia looked very solid to me, and that first play, he was pure money(even though it got called back). Yes, it's nice to have a QB problem, where any one of the 3 could start.
The very first play, and he was money on that pass too.
It was because they all knew they had no chance. Secretariat was just that good.
tsk tsk - word filter my friend. /s
Horse racing is NOT a sport.
Tell that to Jimmy Demeret.
Poor decision making was on him.
I love Gebbia because he seems to be a leader and a hard worker but there is a quality in Martinez that is hard to describe...he seems to have a play-making ability that can't be taught.
Let the best man win. Both need a lot of polish but I think both will end up being very good. Hopefully it will be while wearing a Husker uniform.
I think Gebbia and Martinez are too close to call at this point. I think either could run this offense effectively. Bunch and Vedral both seem very capable as well. I don't think Vedrals waiver will go through, so he's probably sitting this year.
I don't think it's going to come down to "who is Frost's guy" type decision. They are all Frosts guys now. I believe it will come down to who grades out the best after Summer conditioning, 7v7 drills, and Fall camp. I don't believe Gebbia will transfer if he doesn't get the job. He was asked that very question about a week ago in an interview, he answered like it was a silly question, responding it isn't even a consideration for him, and that Nebraska is his home now.
This is an amazing situation for us to have. I haven't been this confident in our QB situation since Frazier, Berringer, and Turman were the guys. I believe at the minimum we will have a solid starter, and at least one backup who could take over at the drop of a hat if needed. GBR!

When you have a horse that so destroys the competition, you don't get a lot of guys willing to take you on. Secretariat ran the fastest time ever run for all three of the triple crown races, without any other horse being good enough to push him to his best. Today's triple crown races are filled with pretenders for every open gate spot...lots of horses that aren't expected to be competitive, just there so that their owners/trainers can be mentioned in the media and the historic record books...virtual frauds. A different time alright, but the race clock doesn't lie.
Go to about the 2:30 mark, if you are not willing to give up a couple minutes of your time:
Secretariat would've beaten American Pharoah by about 18 length's.
