    Every year and virtually every Saturday, a back-up is asked to replace the starter and not only does the team not miss a beat, you realize the back-up is actually the better player. That's why the portal thrives with starting quarterbacks replaced by better backups. Tons of good high school QBs out there and every team should have at least two.

     

    Chubba Purdy is another in a line of high school qbs who sell themselves as dual threats to a Nebraska system that promises to feature them, only to find out that these dual threat guys are actually zero threat guys. Holy s#!t he looked bad yesterday, and the offensive line was not to blame.

     

    Agree that Smothers looks to be the better option at this point, but get ready for him to run for 8 yards, then run for 5 yards, then get snuffed out by a defensive adjustment, followed by an incomplete pass and a sack. 

     

    True...Sad but true...

    Not sure if this belongs in this thread or his recruiting thread, but is anyone else concerned that Coleman is a project? I love his size and athleticism. NU has to take him just because he’s a freak athlete. But, I am not sure he’s an immediate contributor which many fans think he is. If he’s a WR, I guess we can have him streak down the field once or twice a quarter as a freshman, but from what I understand, he has a long ways to go as a route runner. 

    Let's hope he's not the second coming of Xavier Betts

    Eh ... maybe he saw him, maybe he didn't.  I don't think that pass was getting there even if the defender wasn't there.  It was underthrown.

     

    IIRC you can see Vokolek start to break forward before the ball was intercepted.  It looked to me like he could tell out of his hand it was going to be short.

    The pass was indeed going to be short and likely incomplete.

    I wouldn't have picked Wan'dale Robinson's game to translate to the pros, but he just caught a touchdown for the Giants yesterday.

     

    This year could be very different. A guy like Palmer could easily show up as a second round prospect and it would be very tempting to get to the NFL as soon as possible. On the other hand, he becomes a big enough star at Nebraska to bring in decent NIL money, which could easily be more than what a second-rounder is guaranteed in the NFL, and it might be tempting to milk NCAA stardom for another year. 

    I vote for milking the NCAA

    My ideal quarterback is a good one. Casey and Adrian are both really good. Very comparable.

    Admo is right ...Casey is a better quarterback and it's not close.  Both have lost games they should have won and if given the choice with the game on the line I'll roll with Casey over the turnover prone and soft Adrian.

    Nobody said that but it won’t help if we hear Benning second guessing and whining.  Hell, maybe he will be the new and improved Damon.  

    Not possible, once a douche bag always a douche bag...just ask Troy Dumas.

    According to Callahan, Benning will be replacing him for the rest of the year.

     

    Kinda curious how 11am road games will work if he has a Friday night HS game to coach?  Trev gonna pony up for a private jet for a radio announcer?

    Oh great...I was hoping Benning would stick to abusing women now he's going to abuse the radio fan base.
