Some good stats in Sam McKeon piece. I knew Taylor did not finish strong in 2010 but guess forgot how bad his numbers were. Those along with the UCLA game this year shows when not totally fit his numbers drop off the chart. Take away the ability to kick it into high gear his game is not the same. No matter what Bo sees in his eyes unless he can kick it into gear he needs to sit.

As I read that article, it makes me think that there are two divisive forces on the football team. Pelini and Martinez. Enunwa wants to point blame at Martinez for poor passing, but doesn't want to feel the wrath of Pelini. I understand that you have to have each others back, but that is a tell tale sign that there is a cancer in the locker room. Hopefully it graduates this year.
 
I think the whole team is afraid to voice concerns about Martinez to the media or anyone who will listen. They are afraid of Pelini's wrath if they do. All I can do is watch and I usually only believe my eyes, but we are a different team when he is not in the game. From defense, to special teams to the offense. Not sure why, but I can believe what Pelini tries to sell everyone or I can believe my eyes...

I didn't forget how bad his numbers were. Something else to keep in mind: through 4 starts this season, Martinez has only one run longer than 19 yards. Without that big-play ability with his feet, what is the point in having him in there? He's probably the 3rd or 4th best passer on the roster.

that's one of my biggest problems with playing a less than 100% Martinez. the threat of his arm doesn't do anything to help the running game and if HE's not a threat to run then it's not helping the offence. RKIII's arm is a better weapon than TM's legs at this point.

IMO T-Mart should NOT have started the Minn game! It made NO SENSE to me considering his long lay off and lack of contact over that time period. Why wouldn't a prudent coach go with either TA or RKG and see how the game goes. Was Minn supposed to be a huge threat? No it wasn't yet Bo still started T-Mart.... at BEST his physical condition was questionable. T-Mart is watching his last season slip away and Bo asks him if he's a 100%? What do you think he's going to say? Doesn't take a MENSA member to figure out T-Marts going to say he's a 100%.

Now to make matter WORSE we're in the game starting the 2nd half!!! T-Marts not having a good game and looks tentative! OK... so what does Bo do? Why of course he leaves him the entire 2nd half... genius at work? How much did all those 3 and outs hurt an already fragile defense? Who knows but it sure didn't help!! I am not saying T-Mart LOST the game but I am saying that Bo's idiotic decision did. I think it's why he was so contrite at the pressor!! What can he say expect T-Mart wasn't the problem... right... you bet!!

I honestly believe Bo wanted to cram T-Mart up every fans "you know what" and say.. "See I told ya so"!!!!!!!! It backfired and then it spiraled out of control leaving in T-Mart for the entire game! That's ALL on Bo... NO ONE ELSE!! NO ONE! Did it derail the season? Probably so but we'll have to wait and see....... Bottom line........ IF Bo gets canned he has absolutely no on to blame but himself. Therefore I have ZERO sympathy. He had every opportunity to bring in a OC and DC with a lot of experience. Nope.. he's wanted a couple of yes men and he got them! I think Bo feels threatened by anyone that has experience but doesn't agree with him.......

Bo is the architect of his own demise if that's what happens............

Great post and I agree with you. Every time I saw TM coming back in on offense the 2nd half I was in total shock. And I knew that if 3 was left in the game it was going to end bad. I know the defense played poorly but we should of had many more points on the board and even if we gave up the 27 we should of had at least 40. I am pretty sure if we had went with TA the whole game we would of had more then the 23 TM was able to get. Bo is sure stubborn and it really bit him in the butt this week. The problem is I doubt he learned from it and would do the same thing again if put in this position.
 



Since the beginning of the Martinez era:

Martinez starts (30-13) 69%
Someone else starts: (5-0) 100%

Small sample size but somewhat interesting.
