I wouldn't mind having AJ Bush still around, looks like he's starting at Illinois this year. I was ok with the walk-on at 3rd string. Being the backup just has me scared to death!

Not sure there's a thread about this already, what are options for 3rd string now that Gebbia is gone? Option 1 right now is Matt Masker, true freshman walkon. Are there any other internal options out there? Any kids that were QB's in high school that have switched positions? The only one I know of is Wyatt Mazour.

nope

Keep talking Bo. Making me feel better and better about this decision every day! What a d-bag!

Sometimes it's not, but in this case this is after the Athletic Director said we would honor all existing commitments the previous staff made. The new staff even contacted Dillman and told him they wanted him at H-back. So actually, this sums up to not making any sense unless, as others have speculated, it's academic eligibility issues that are forcing this. In which case I hope they continue to work with Riley through a JUCO. That's why there's more to this story. Maybe another admissions issue was the 3rd strike. Or we can believe a 17 year old's social media that goes against everything Coach Riley has preached the past 40 years.

Can someone please explain to me why it's so morally wrong for a university to back out of a scholarship offer, but it's completely acceptable for a recruit to bail for sometimes no reason? Would it be better for Kevin to ride the pine for 2 years in a system the coaches don't think will work for him? Wasn't our offer before he was ruled academically ineligible?

Again, this is a post that would have had applicable context about a year ago. Bo has clearly changed those ways. Past tense. Yeah, and Bo did the Harlem Shake before last season and I remember a few meltdowns last year. I wanted to see his attitude in a road game when things were looking bad. He passed the test.

I think Saturday night proved that if Bo can keep his attitude to just "angry" during games, we have a better shot of coming back/competing in games. I did not notice any "psychotic raging maniac" moments during the game. He would yell at someone, but then get back involved in the game, which is where his mind should be. I hope this continues. I think a ballistic Bo leads to blowout losses. I'd rather have a heartbreaking comeback loss any day over a 70-31 loss.

Josh Davis?

Marlon Lucky? Cory Ross?

Does anyone know the criteria for players getting granted extra years of eligibility? I heard Venric Mark was granted an extra year because he only played in 3 games this year. Martinez played in 4. Obviously he's not coming back, just curious. Did Mark play as a true freshman and is that why it happened?

I'm not saying he had an outstanding season, but he surely belongs on the honorable mention with or instead of Kenny Bell. There's only 15 WR's in FBS with more TD's than Enunwa. Enunwa 47 catches, 624 yards, 10 TD's Bell 51 catches, 566 yards, 4 TD's http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/90714/all-b1g-teams-individual-honors-unveiled?ex_cid=espnapi_public

Glad to see RKIII get his chance. He may not be the most gifted QB we have, but I haven't seen that much emotion out of a husker QB in a LONG time. You can tell anyone on the offense would go through a brick wall for him.

Speaking of turnovers, does anyone else feel like we need to have a "Program" moment and make every offensive back carry around a football during all day long? I don't know how many more fumbles I can take!

With 4 to go we still had a great shot at the BIG championship game, so I think some urgency to mix things up a bit could have come in handy against MSU. I don't really care who they start now, we can't get the the title game.

Our QB's are averaging 3 yards a carry this year. TA's longest run is 15 yards. I don't think defenses are worried about him running as much as we think they are. I think Abdullah gets the same amount of rushing and we actually complete some passes if RKIII was in there. I should have said ability to run the option within our system. I am hoping another year after knee surgery, he will be quicker and more confident in the repair. (not saying he is not) I don't disagree with you on that. I just look at the game Saturday and wonder what would have happened had Kellogg started the 2nd half. Remember, the last time he was on the field, he completed the hail mary. Fans would have been excited. Maybe we rally? Guess we'll never know.

When TA's not turning the ball over 3 times a game there won't be a controversy.

Because we know TA is part of the future and RKIII has been a lifelong husker living his dream. The more RKIII plays, the more the staff thinks TA will want to transfer due to lack of playing time. RKIII isn't going anywhere and would not sacrifice the team. I'm not saying Kellogg would have have been any better against Michigan State, but I do know he has earned the chance to play more than he has. It's a shame it's come down to feelings as opposed to winning football games. TA was lost the MSU game there was no reason he should have been in there the whole game.

Lamar Miller or Andre Brown? I have Charles on bye this week. No idea how many touches Andre Brown gets, but how do you thing Miller will do with 40% of the line gone?

I can't remember the writers name from the Miami paper (used to work for ESPN), but he made some interesting comments this morning at around 7:45 this morning on Mike and Mike. When talking about Jonathan Martin, he referred to it as a Stanford/Harvard locker room. When talking about Incognito, he referred to NFL locker rooms as being "a Nebraska style locker room" Even though Incognito played at Nebraska, I don't really enjoy being lumped in on the thug side of NFL locker rooms. Just because Suh and Incognito came from Nebraska, that shouldn't quite put us in Miami U status.

I'm thinking let people bring in blankets and sit on the field too...

I'm just curious how many people would tailgate at Memorial Stadium and go in and watch the Jumbotron for good away games (Ohio State, Michigan, etc...). This is just a fun what if, but if I could get in for $5 to $10 and watch a game with a few thousand fans while having a beer that sounds like a great time. I'm pretty sure the University wouldn't have any of this (don't know if alcohol can be served on campus if the teams not there), plus extra workers and security would be needed.

My dad took me either in 1987 or 88 when Okie State came and Barry Sanders was with them. I don't remember anything about the game other than it was cold and I refused to eat a runza because I thought they looked gross.

On a kind of related topic...the girl that is in the Mentalist right before the NU USC game is showed is originally from Columbus, NE!
