Texas

It takes a lot of pressure off the oline, and it also makes it more difficult to defend.

You also just acquired the Sark playbook.

Yes, that would be nice, but you just highlighted Texas' problem last year; the Texas offense was three people. That's an uphill climb every week. No oline, no defense, busted thumb and three offensive players That was Texas last year. Washington is no slouch either. Palmer and Castaneda. It will pose problems for other teams.

He walks the talk. You will see what I mean by gamer very quickly. The supporting cast is just fine. As a whole, he has a much better hand now than he had last year. I hope it goes well. I have been a Nebraska fan back since the Mike Rozier days. Vividly remember being at the '96 B12 Championship game. Another plus, he isn't scared of Oklahoma. Should have won that game, save for a muffed punt.

Thank you. That comment, we all know is born from truth backed up by history. But, believe it or not, that old ball and chain has loosened its grip to an extent concerning Sark. He wanted a fresh start with a young QB he chose and wanted to develop. Whether this more hands off approach continues, we shall see, but it appears that the negative impact it was creating has finally sunk in.

Hello, all. A few words on Casey Thompson after watching him for two years. He's a gamer! His scoring efficiency is rarely mentioned. When he gets the ball, the offense scores. He's a true student of the game. Incredible vision. Quick release and a good touch. A lot of drops last year. He's a leader. Leads by example and people rally around that. I confess that I am not up on all of the Nebraska weaknesses aside from the Oline I hear mentioned, but I highly doubt it could be worse than Texas' last season. Casey won't have nearly the load he was carrying last season. With the thumb issue resolved, watch out. There is little question Casey would likely be the starter at Texas this year, but Sark saw upside going with Ewers. You are going to be in for a really fun season.
