Taylor Martinez has a connection to Toby Gerhart.  Casey is Taylor\'s father.

Casey was pleased to discover that his neighbor, two houses down, was the head football coach at nearby Norco High. Todd Gerhart\'s star running back that year was his son, Toby, who would go on, of course, to star at Stanford, finish second in last year\'s Voldemort balloting and be drafted by the Minnesota Vikings.

Toby Gerhart had five siblings: younger brothers Garth and Coltin, plus triplet (!) sisters. The Gerharts and Martinezes were soon fast friends. Corona being horse country, many of the lots are at least an acre. The Gerharts had turned their backyard into a baseball diamond. Casey put in a full-length basketball court, with lights. Children from both families migrated freely from one compound to the other, depending on what sport people wanted to play.

Todd didn\'t take it personally when Taylor transferred to Cajon High in San Bernardino after his sophomore year. "He wanted to be a quarterback, and we didn\'t really ever throw," says the coach. Taylor did a nice job in his first year at QB, getting his new team into the playoffs and accounting for some 1,500 yards.

Nebraska\'s getting stuffed by Texas at the moment, however.
