papio2chi Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Bo just said that the fourth Qb will be LaTravis Washington. He will be trying to play QB this spring....he did play in Qb in HS. Bo said he has a really strong arm, but hasn't seen him play. The decision for him to try it was mutual. Quote Link to comment

Interesting...two ways to look at this...either we are awfully thin at QB or Washington isn't quite the LB we thought he'd be. Or maybe a combination of both...I suppose Bo thinks the team as a whole is better served by having him in the backfield. Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 If we get down to the point where he plays in a game, we better be way ahead and just wanting to burn some time, or else we will be in deep doo doo. Quote Link to comment
TMul Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hopefully the kid can find some position to contribute before he's done. When true freshman walk on LBs start over you as a sophomore, might as well try something else. Would love to see him play at the speed D-End position, but if he doesn't have that killer mentality to play LB, forget about playing on the D-line. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 So what about Martinez, is he going to get time at quarterback or was that just a bunch of talk to get him here. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 So what about Martinez, is he going to get time at quarterback or was that just a bunch of talk to get him here. We'll find out during Fall camp when he gets here. Quote Link to comment

We'll find out during Fall camp when he gets here. so called experts have said no, that he cant throw the ball the width of the field. As for washington, it worries me BO hasn't seen him play before officially switching him, but who knows. Glenn was a good switch last year so it could maybe work. I thought he would be a good LB but it didnt work out so why not. Imagine if he starts next year, now that is a story Quote Link to comment

Street Novelist Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Bo said walk-on Ron Kellogg would also be receiving snaps. Quote Link to comment

I think it's the latter...After all, Washington was recruited by the last coaching staff... Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Maybe it's just me, but Jen a female, knowledgeable of NU football, and did I mention a female? If I weren't already married I think i'd have just found my next ex wife Sorry Jen, just had to mention that. Back to my normal banter in the woodshed:) Quote Link to comment

Husker_x Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Sounds like Washington smells some competition at the LB position. We do have a hole in the succession, so if he's qualified, give him a shot. Sounds like it was a mutual idea between the staff and him. Hope it works out––you can never have enough Heisman candidates. Quote Link to comment
