Nebraska Coach Says Pulling Taylor Martinez Might Have Been a Mistake

Filed under: Nebraska, Big 12There were few surprises Monday when Nebraska coach Bo Pelini confirmed redshirt freshman Taylor Martinez would remain the Cornhuskers' starting quarterback despite being pulled in the third quarter of Saturday's stunning 20-13 home loss to Texas.

What was a bit of a surprise: Pelini conceded it might have been a mistake yanking Martinez in favor of demoted starter Zac Lee.

"You look back and I don't know if that was the right thing to do," said Pelini, whose team dropped nine spots in this week's AP poll to No. 14 after suffering its first loss of the season. "When you look back, Taylor wasn't the only problem. We were just looking for a spark. That was tough situation for a young guy. You live and learn as a head coach. You don't know if that was the right decision to make, but it was the decision that was made and you move forward." Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
