Takes me a second everytime to process. Too much Nintendo as a kid? MK 64 was and forever will be one of the greatest games on any console. 2 Quote Link to comment

I was questioning the 2 Sr qbs., we only have 1. Our qb room was young, but now it's even younger. But more talented. Quote Link to comment

Oh whoops I was talking about Purdy though I guess technically he will be a Junior even though next year will be his 5th year in college and will be 23. Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 We need another good back. Injuries have hurt us badly the past few years - adding more depth with a quality player would be great. https://247sports.com/college/nebraska/article/dante-dowdell-visiting-nebraska-football-program-in-early-january--223704164/ Quote Could the Huskers still add a running back to the mix? We can provide an update to one back the Nebraska staff was in contact with before signing day. Dante Dowdell, who spent his first year of college football in the Oregon program, now has a scheduled official visit to Nebraska from Jan. 5-7, his father Lawrence Hopkins confirmed to Husker247. Husker head coach Matt Rhule expressed interest in still adding a running back to the room in the days after the Iowa game. Quote Dowdell had a great high school career down in Mississippi. He finished senior season with 2,165 yards and 31 touchdowns on 8.3 yards per carry. He had 386 receiving yards in addition to that. He finished high school career with 5,301 rushing yards and 65 TDs on 8.0 yards per carry. 2 Quote Link to comment

Chubba looked so shaky in spot duty last year, I don't think many of us were shocked to see him enter this season third string to another portal transfer and a homegrown kid with almost no game experience. He wasn't in Casey Thompson's position, that's for sure. He looked better this year when given the chance, but didn't escape the turnover bug. Although it should be irrelevant, I guarantee his stock improved by being related to Brock Purdy, as in "Chubba Purdy could be the next Brock Purdy" Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Pretty sure Chubba was third string because of his groin injury, not his ability. Not that his ability was great or anything. 4 Quote Link to comment

By "last year" I meant Casey Thompson and Logan Smothers, and Chubba having 3.1 yards per 48 attempts and 3 INTs to 0 TDS. If you were on the other side of the portal, no fanbase was gonna get excited about flipping Chubba. 2 Quote Link to comment
