The second one is from a Tennesse writer so there's that. But, no, I haven't really seen anything linking him with Tennessee so I'm not sure where that's coming from.

I had a hard time finding a list but finally found this one. There are discrepancies between it and the one the Twitter feed is referring to which is probably because bowl game stats didn't use to count. It appears the Twitter list has the bowl game stats added back in. Either way, he should be in second place in 2-3 more games and should have a shot at the #1 spot by the end of the year.

Apparently the line on this game opened Huskers -15 and is now Huskers -20. I'm a little surprised it's that high but I think we should be right there.

I'm not saying they were moral victories. But we did compete very well for most of those games. And I'm not sure how that is elevating the perception of the SEC. We were slotted at basically the same spot in the B1G as those teams were in the SEC. If anything, people having to bail out SEC teams as "demoralized" or "disinterested" whenever they lose a bowl game is elevating the perception SEC.

Yes, that is an example of being "outclassed".

Over everyone's last three games, we are giving up a nation-leading 3.3 points per game in the second half.

There are definitely calls for 3, 5 and 7 step drops but that is when the QB is under center. Doesn't work the same way out of the pistol/shotgun. Are you sure? I'm about 85% sure that a big part of Taylor's work with Calhoun, as reported, was his drops in shotgun/pistol both on straight passes and on play actions, and getting the footwork and drop depths right. A big part of it was that his first two years his first step back was with his left foot instead of his right, which turned his upper body the wrong direction than conducive for passing the ball, and also made him have to take an extra step to progress through his dropback. There are still drops. It's not totally different. But the drops should be a lot shorter to not at all out of shotgun.

Committed to South Carolina this summer but now says he's going to take visits after his season is over. Has OVs set up to South Carolina and Louisville for January and may visit Lincoln this fall. Also still looking at Mississippi St. and Kentucky. Warren has been working on him this whole time. As ADS mentioned above, I think he stays closer to home but if he gets here we may have a shot.

Not to nit-pick but I guess I'm going to nit-pick. I'm not sure it's exactly how you explained it. 2013 - Beat Georgia 2012 - Georgia lost the SEC Championship game by four points to eventual national champion Alabama. They had first and goal on the last play of the game. We were ahead of Georgia mid-way through the third and tied entering the fourth. 2011 - We were ahead of South Carolina seconds before halftime and were down 16-13 entering the fourth. The final scores of the last two games weren't as close but I don't think playing toe-to-toe with a team for three quarters is being "outclassed". The year before that, we didn't play an SEC team, btw.

There's not necessarily a perfect number that works for every play. But in every example, he had room to be closer to the line. I didn't say he did a good job by being at 8 yards. He was deeper and did a good job to step up into the pocket to buy time. As others have said, it partly depends on the play that is called. In general, I would think if he starts in the shotgun position, he is coached to take certain steps for movement to get ready to throw the ball. I never have paid attention to how many steps that is back. The pictures could also be influenced by: a) Did the O lineman do a better job of blocking the pass rusher farther back? b) Did the pass rusher do a poor job of taking a good line to the QB? c) Just before the picture, did TA move one way or the other that makes it harder for the O lineman? d) etc.... Without knowing the exact plays that were called and what he is supposed to exactly do and be doing at the time of the picture, it's hard to judge if he did it correctly or not. But, I'm confused by your conclusion that one is an example of him taking to deep of a drop and one is an example of doing it right when they both have the same depth from the LOS. I mean ... I've watched the plays several time and and explaining what I saw. I didn't just grab random screen shots. If you'd like to watch the plays and give your own analysis, feel free. I've explained the answer to your last question already so I'm assuming you're not reading it.

.... and .... uh.... now he "flips" to Kansas.

If you're talking about cutting non-revenue programs, I'm not sure that would be necessary. As long as they cut programs equally, they would be fine. I don't think it is even cutting programs equally, is it? I think it has to go towards cutting male-female scholarships equally. That's why you see schools with more female sports than male. Yeah, I was sloppy with my terminology but that's what I meant.

I'm sure there's not evidence but I tend to agree with SPH

Well, he gets to play in Memorial Stadium after all. Listed as a backup DE. Played in all seven games as a RS Soph but only has five tackles.

Would love to have him but I'm not holding my breath. LSU

You mean sending your check to Huskerboard for getting you the free publicity?

Nonsense. I have it on good authority that it's always the coach's fault. Of course, I'm sure they didn't coach them to line up well enough.
