[Husker] Fw: Taylor Martinez back story

Thu Dec 2 13:27:22 CST 2010

I think any insight into his taking snaps between now and a bowl will answer
much of this question.

If the plan is to part ways, I don't think he will see many snaps in
practice. (I read somewhere today that a receiver said he took a couple
snaps today). If he doesn't play in the bowl, that should say a lot. Turf
toe and an ankle can be difficult to rehab, but players usually are able to
come back by a bowl.
