Lincoln - With just four days remaining until the kickoff of their 2011 season, the Nebraska Cornhuskers continued with their preparations for Tennessee-Chattanooga on Tuesday afternoon. Nebraska practiced outside on the Ed and Joyanne Gass practice fields in full pads for just over two hours.

Following practice offensive coordinator Tim Beck spoke to the media about this afternoon's practice, quarterback Taylor Martinez and the offense.

"It was a pretty good practice today," Beck said. "It wasn't bad. At the end a little bit, I think we lost our focus, but we have to continue to push through that, but overall not bad. I think the guys are ready to play somebody else for a change."

Starting quarterback Taylor Martinez is learning a new offense where he is able to make more decisions than the previous offense. Beck spoke about how he and Martinez need to be on the same page.

"We work together and that's the thing in this offense. Taylor and I almost have to have the same brain," Beck said. "We have to be thinking a lot alike and we do. He's a sharp young guy when it comes to the game of football. He can get it."

Beck also said he told Martinez to just let the offense run its course.

"Let the offense run itself. Don't force things," Beck said. "Don't feel he has to go out and play at a certain level of the offense. If he just runs the offense, everybody will get what they need to get. He doesn't need to force throws, or runs, or decisions. Just play the game, just like he's been doing all fall."
