[Husker] Martinez Co-Offensive Player of the Week, Time set for Mi nnesota

[Jon Johnston]

I think Mike Nolan should make the same rule here that I make when I vote for my Top 25, which is simple - if you don't think someone deserves a spot, that's fine, but you'd better recommend who you'd put there otherwise your comment is ignored. 

So.... how 'bout the same here. 

This week, it's easy for y'all negataylors, you just pick the co-winner and make him the full award winner. The co-winner was receiver Cody Latimer of Indiana, who caught all three touchdowns, having 113 yards. Comparatively a pretty easy job - catch the ball or not catch the ball. 

Who else in the Big Ten was even close to Martinez? Anyone? 

And no, he wasn't honored for having a career setting day. He was honored because he lead his team back from 10 points down in the fourth quarter, ran for over 200 yards, only the seventh 200-yrd rushing performance in the Big Ten this season. 

How 'bout you negataylors just come out and admit something for me. You don't like the kid because he sucks horribly in front of a camera. He's like that ADHD kid who's on meds. You're talking to him and he's off somewhere thinking about what parts of a pine tree might be edible.

Oh if only everyone were Rex Burkhead!
