Didn't sound like he was wowing anyone at FB and I never got the impression his heart was into it. I think the switch worked out for the best.

Everything I've heard from other players is Jermil wanted to do whatever it took to play RB and not FB

Opposing teams have taken notice of Jermil Martin. He carried the ball only three times for 11 yards Saturday, but it?s clear opposing coaches have taken notice of the 240-pound tailback after his 7-carry, 75-yard performance against Minnesota last week.

?I?m glad that didn?t pound that big guy at us, that No. 41. Boy, he?s a load. He?s gonna be a great player,? said first-year New Mexico State Head Coach DeWayne Walker, who coached the defense at UCLA last season.

I can see Martin playing a Brandon Joe type of role.

I would like to see more of him as an inside power presence to counter the defenses spreading out to contain Pryor. And it would play to the strength of the O line(Boren, Brewster and Brown).
