FanHouse's college football staff provides you with a personal quarterback. We do the primary and secondary reads for you so you can properly start your day.1. Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez will return to the Huskers next season. That may seem surprising given that the freshman seemed to spend a lot of time in Bo Pelini's doghouse this season and was famously dressed down by him in public during Nebraska's loss to Texas A&M. It appears Pelini and Martinez have worked out their issues and Martinez now wants to "become a better all-around person, football player and leader."
2. Pelini, meanwhile, has some explaining to do, according to Lisa Horne of FOXSports.com. Horne reports that, during an on-ship event prior to the Holiday Bowl, the Huskers coach named naval officer Morgan Ryan an honorary captain, gave him a field pass and a jersey, and promised he'd let the Nebraska native call one play during the game. However, according to Horne, Pelini didn't actually let Ryan call a play. In his postgame press conference, Pelini told Horne, "It was a joke, ma'am," when asked about the promise. Horne says that Ryan didn't interpret it as a joke. Nebraska maintains that it was clear Pelini's offer was "lighthearted." Horne posted a video, so you can make up your own mind about Pelini's intent. I'm not sure if he was clearly joking or not.
