Is anyone else wondering if the staff is contemplating an attempt to get another year for Taylor Martinez via medical hardship? The rule is 3 games or 30% of the contests, which ever is greater. TM has played four games. Assuming NU does not make the CCG, that 30.7% of the contests. A CCG game appearance would bring that to 28.6%. Another part of the rule stipulates the injury being in the first half of the season. TM played in the 7th game, so that condition would only be met with a CCG appearance. It appears it would be difficult for TM to meet the strict standards of the rule but he's very close to meeting the criteria and the NCAA can and has granted exemptions in the past.
Personally speaking, I'm ready for a new quarterback era at NU but am beginning to wonder if some of Martinez's mystery issues aren't about getting an extra year.
