QB Martinez has special weapons to work with and they are Kenny Bell, Ben Cotton, Rex Burkhead, Quincy Enunwa, Tyler Wullenwaberm, Jamal Turner and Ameer Abdullah. This blogger is amazed by the yards achieved after the catch or when they have defensive players trying to take them down. The offensive players' legs continue to churn and gobble up additional yards. They won't be denied.
He is quoted as saying that he wants to have a 70% completion rate compared to the last couple years. He did have an outstanding game and QB Kellogg came in at about seven minutes remaining in the game.
Per Cornnation.com they have an article providing info on Martinez's goals. It is a good article and something that all Husker fans should read. Its is "Taylor Martinez Completion Percentage: His Goal Should Not Be Your Expectation" and the the link is http://www.cornnation.com/2012/8/7/3225260/taylor-martinez-completion-percentage-his-goal-should-not-be-your.
I also saw another article in our local newspaper, that Martinez's lofty goals shows immaturity. Per the above link there is a percentage rate chart for former Nebraska QBs dating back to 1969. Jerry Tagge had an impressive 63 in 1970 and that is the highest percentage to date.
Next week Nebraska will be going to Pasadena to the Rose Bowl to play against UCLA on 9/8/12 at 6:30 PM CDT on Fox.
