Eh, debatable. In hindsight, I consider that incident the first sign that Solich was losing control of the team. May have won that battle, at the price of losing the war. 2 Quote Link to comment

Glass half full: Solich was able to get him back on the team and it worked out well. Glass half empty: Solich was trying to bench a future Heisman Trophy winner and it took that guy throwing a fit for Solich to figure out he screwed up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I still wonder if people are "mad" at Crouch for threatening to quit the team, and will always hold that against him. Also, from what I have heard, Crouch going back to Omaha wasn't as severe as everyone made it out to be. He was upset about being #2 out of pre-season camp, and he went to talk to Fred Petito. Not only was Petito Crouch's high school coach, but Petito was a father-figure to Crouch (not sure how much Crouch's father was around in his childhood). I would think that if my son were having issues at college, he would want to talk through things with me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 2020 College Football Quarterback Rankings: All 130 FBS starters Whatever. Space case article. https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-quarterback-rankings-all-130-fbs-starters 45. PATRICK O’BRIEN, COLORADO STATE 85. TRISTAN GEBBIA, OREGON STATE 109. NOAH VEDRAL, RUTGERS 129. ADRIAN MARTINEZ, NEBRASKA Martinez had extremely lofty expectations for Nebraska entering 2019 — some had him as a Heisman candidate, and some called him the next up-and-coming star in college football. However, those presumptions were unrealistic, and Martinez verified that throughout the season. When in a clean pocket, which is one of the most stable metrics for a quarterback, Martinez produced a 55.3 passing grade, ranking 123rd of 130 FBS quarterbacks. His big-time throw rate was 130th among the same group. As said in the 2020 PFF College Magazine, Martinez just lacks the basic accuracy required for the position. There still is hope at quarterback for the Cornhuskers, but it’s with Luke McCaffrey. The dual-threat McCaffrey racked up nine 10-plus-yard gains on 24 carries while recording one big-time throw on 12 passes in 2019. Anyway, B1G QB rankings ..... 2. JUSTIN FIELDS, OHIO STATE 5. TANNER MORGAN, MINNESOTA 12. MICHAEL PENIX JR., INDIANA 14. PEYTON RAMSEY, NORTHWESTERN (grad transfer .... you remember last year performance?) 27. JACK COAN, WISCONSIN 54. SEAN CLIFFORD, PENN STATE 58. DYLAN MCCAFFREY, MICHIGAN (not anymore !) 59. JACK PLUMMER/AIDAN O’CONNELL, PURDUE 67. BRANDON PETERS, ILLINOIS 68. SPENCER PETRAS, IOWA 118. ROCKY LOMBARDI/THEO DAY, MICHIGAN STATE 127. JOSH JACKSON, MARYLAND Quote Link to comment
admo Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Last year is so over. AM2 is healthy, fresh and ready to have a great new year. And if it doesn't work out that way, it'll be unfortunate. That's why it's also great to have Luke as well. Quote Link to comment
