broganreynik Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 @Sean_Callahan: According to @CareyWWLS of the http://t.co/5RdMcyurmj network Nebraska DT Aaron Curry is transferring to Oklahoma. http://t.co/pXQf1VQcdW Quote Link to comment
Hoosker Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It definitely sucks to lose him, but I think it says more about Collins and Valentine. All it's going to take is one injury and this could come back to hurt us. 1 Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Isn't he number 2 on the DT depth chart? Or maybe Kevin Williams took his #2 spot? So it would be 1. Valentine 2. Kevin Williams and 1. Collins 2. Maurice Quote Link to comment
huskerenner Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 What happened to the team first mentality? Sounds like Aaron Green all over again.If you can't win the job,just move on to the next school? see ya!! Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 He went from starter to disappeared so I'm not surprised. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I wasn't very high on him anyway. Quote Link to comment
Ed Helms Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Next man up, but I really liked Curry. He was very impressive at times last year, wish he would have stuck it out here at Nebraska. Love Kevin Williams, but his knees scare me. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Same thoughts here, Ed. Wish him the best. Any thoughts on the timing? Doesn't seem typical. Quote Link to comment

All it's going to take is one injury and this could come back to hurt us. This says a lot more about Maurice and Williams than the starters. Curry realized even they passed him on the depth chart and he wasn't going to see much time. We can complain about losing 3rd string depth but the same people will also complain that we kept a kid on the roster for 2 years while younger kids played over them. Now we have another scholarship to spend in a year where our recruiting is already going great. The only negative I see is if injuries hit DT we may have to burn some redshirts. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Sucks to lose solid depth but as was said Maurice and Williams had solidified themselves as the primary back-ups. I'm surprised OU is the team he transferred to. I'd imagine Bo had a hand in hooking Curry and Stoops up with each other. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Is Oklahoma hurting for DT's that they could use our 3rd string more than us? Seems weird. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Williams might be having a good camp but his is made of rubber bands and legos. Curry was going to get 20-30 snaps a game (I would guess) Heck most starting DT's only get around 50-60 snaps a game (Unless you are playing EA sports where you just never take guys out!)
