08:23 AM ET 09.23 | The Cornhuskers will continue to ride Taylor Martinez. There are no plans to decrease the number of touches for [Martinez], even though the week-to-week physical pounding could put Nebraska's top quarterback at risk. In all three of the Huskers' contests so far this year, Martinez has led the team in carries. He ran 19 times against Washington, a total high enough to lead the NU ball carriers in all but four games last year. But coach Bo Pelini said he isn't worried about how Martinez, at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, will handle a season's worth of contact.

I think the QB should touch the ball on every offensive play. Maybe I should go into coaching.

Being on the "scout team" that the hostesses practice with is really fun.

I may be available for the role of Dad-with-son-considering-UTK. The Dad-with-daughter role, though...

You didn't think we gave him the starting job for his skills as a quarterback, did you? Heck, anyone can play quarterback, but did you see him in those tight football pants?

Well, duh. Martinez makes them win. Should he change up their whole offense to protect him and then start losing games?
