Guarantee its a basic run to get the jitters out. So many players on the field at Nebraska for the first time. You go safe until muscle memory starts to take over.

Bunch split reps until about 10 days ago. I think he will be ready if needed. He honestly didn't look to be too far behind in the spring game.

Lol Me either. We have nothing better to do. Few more days... Then the pre season drama can be put behind us.

We became attached to TG's work ethic and attitude. He is a great guy... But was never a fit for Frost's offense. No reason to lose any sleep over how this was handled. He got a fair shot and lost. If AM would have struggled through fall camp, he would be the starter and the conversation would be different. AM didn't and won the spot he was recruited for... Great news for Husker fans. GBR

TG is a competitor... I honestly hope he ends up at a school that fits. He gave Nebraska everything he had. Not his fault MR stunk up the joint. The kid deserves a shot in a system designed for his skill set.

There are some great juco programs out there. Some of them get a bad reputation.

I predicted in another thread we would play against whoever lost the QB battle... Wisconsin's offense does fit TG's skill set pretty well.

Dont agree or disagree with him leaving but I'm not sure many on here understand. He has a very short window to transfer to save a year of eligibility. If he transfers to another D1 school in the next 4 days, 2018 will be his year to sit out leaving him with a full 3 years of eligibility. If he waits until December or even another week, he would forced to sit out his sophomore year leaving him with only 2 years at a new school. It's really a simple decision if he feels he doesn't fit here.

He sure didn't sound like a freshman at the podium. You could tell he was a little nervous being a little fidgety but he stayed calm and answered well imo.

That really stuck out to me as well. We know the talent we have at receiver so that tells me some other groups are really performing at a high level.

Looks like football players are on at 11:30.

We are having our annual fish fry. We save all of our walleye and white bass from the summer and fry them for the first Husker game. We usually end up with around 30 people and put the game on a 100" projector screen. Fun times.

A guy on the NEFGA forum is selling 2 tickets - section 40, row 30, seats 1 & 2. He is asking $100 each. I can put you guys in tough if you want- let me know.

Fan speculation is managed by the better coaches out there. I think Frost did a fantastic job of that with the QB competition. Frost and staff wanted a true competition to drive both candidates. I believe he got 100% effort our of both- something he may not have gotten had he said from the start that AM was his guy.

63-13

Someone on Bleacher report listed him as our first ever true freshman starter at qb this morning. No clue if that is accurate.

Hope your head is ok this morning Blitz. I'm guessing the other 2/3 are doing fine.

What gives you the impression the TG can do the things you list? Unless you have inside info, that is a pretty big assumption to make. I know the coaches haven't said anything of that sort or the media would be all over it. When I reference "free pass" above, I am referring to back when Scott listed the reasons he took the job. He knew the fan base would allow him and his staff the time necessary to build this program correctly. Your assuming incorrectly that I meant to forfeit any games smh. Obviously no coach would do that intentionally if they wanted to keep their job. TG may very well win the job but if he does, it's because the staff feels he gives them the best opportunity to build a winning program. From the very limited information and film we have been privileged with, my opinion is that AM has a higher upside. As stated before, I'll be happy with whoever is selected because I trust in our coaches decisions way better than my Saturday beer drinking fanatical self.

If what the coaches have said is true, both would give the team an equal chance to win this year. They of course want to win this year but they also realize they have been tasked with returning this team to greatness. That takes a multi year approach imo. Whoever has the higher top end in their opinion gets the nod.

If Martinez is the future in this coaching staffs eyes, he will be the game 1 starter. No way they intentionally use TG for a year until AM is ready... They have a free pass this year in a sense to develop and refine for the 2019 "we will be dangerous" team.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit... If Nebraska repeats all of it's mistakes again over the next 25 years I quit.

That's what we said pre-season last year about Tanner Lee...

I find it hilarious some of the assumptions we as a fan base can talk ourselves into. I'm guilty. The only concrete things we have to go off of are the spring game and high school highlights. Both were bad a#$ high school quarterbacks. One of them did pretty good in the spring game and the other did slightly better. Beyond that, we don't know diddly. Kudos to Frost and staff for feeding us just enough to have our interest peaked at just the right time.

Burkhead... Always loved that guy.

She was interviewed but I'm sure they had their stories ready. Nobody wants their spouse to lose a multi million dollar a year job... Even if they are in a "rough patch". That potential alimony payment would be huge!
