[Husker] On to Oklahoma State

[Kathy Jackson]

IMO if nothing else it shows "T-Magic" that when he fails to produce the coaches are not afraid to put someone else in.  Rag on Lee all you want but he has been in big games before and has experience.

They said on the post game that Martinez is the starter, which, when he is "on" he should be - but he also needs to realize that they are serious when they say players are being evaluated every practice and every snap so he needs to step up or he will get to sit down.

Yes I am a bit grumpy at this point.  I like our receiver corps too but after a week where they are all moaning about how they don't get touches during a game to come out and drop stuff and get balls stripped the way they did makes me think it is not just Martinez who is spending too much time reading his own press clippings.

It is all about delivering the goods - all the I'm all that chat can wait.
