arkiehusker Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 across the ESPN sports ticker where it said "Nebraska Coach Bo Pelini said he would have no problem starting fresman Cody Green against Iowa State"? I thought I saw that, but havent seen it since. SUrely I am not getting senile or having hallucinations. Quote Link to comment
newenglandhusker Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Didn't see it. Right now checking out the College Football Live show and there is no mention on the ticker so far. Quote Link to comment

Well, maybe I am hallucinating. If I am going to halucinate, I should probably pick up drinking again. At least then I would have an excuse. Quote Link to comment

redout22 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I actually did see it too. You weren't hallucinating. Unless I was too. Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 What's sort of amazing about this whole thing is how unanimous support is for Green to take Lee's job. I can't think of anyone, fan or columnist, that hasn't said as much. Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Green is NOT the answer to the problems the offense has. Maybe we should be looking at the person calling the plays. I will admit that Cody is a GREAT Athelet and will be awsome. JUST do not be the "I WANT THE BACK UP IN AND THEN BITCH ABOUT HOW HE WASN'T READY WHEN IT DOES'NT WORK OUT" I am just saying.

n.e.husker Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Just saw it on the ticker on college football live GL CG, u got no line infront of you. GBR Quote Link to comment
HuskerT Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If Bo is thinking about starting Green than now would be a good time to do it. Even though were in no position to take opponents lightly, I'd like to see what Green could do against ISU and Baylor before we get to OU and KU. Quote Link to comment
holvy83 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 saw it too, i hate to say, but it does not matter right now who is behind center... and i agree, if Green is a total flop, they we really be calling for heads. Good god, i hope they turn this thing around quick. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yes, I believe it does matter quite a bit. Sure, the line did not play well against Tech, but there were plenty of times where Lee had the necessary three seconds and couldn't pull the trigger. He just isn't seeing the field, and when he does actually throw it, his rhythm is off and his accuracy is rarely good. Just the threat of being able to throw accurate passes longer than ten yards downfield can really improve this offense a lot. With a passing threat and a little improvement on the line and with the receivers, this offense can be good. A confident, accurate quarterback with the pocket presence of Green can be a huge spark for the whole offense, and certainly open up the running game and give Helu a chance for a big day. Of course Green is going to throw some ugly INTs, but I'd rather have 3 INTs and 20+ points than no INTs, a bunch of five-yard passes and 3 points. Our schedule is very favorable considering the most important game left (probably) is against Kansas, who we match up well with. Iowa St. is the perfect game to start Green and see if we can get this offense on track against a couple of lower-tier Big 12 teams (who are still better than the Sun Belt teams). If you don't think a new quarterback can spark an offense, just look at Colorado. Under Hawkins, people at Netbuffs were basically on suicide watch. I saw one poster, during the Toledo game, say he'd never turned off a game before the final gun in 30+ years as a CU fan, until that game. That's how hopeless they felt. Then they bring in the true sophomore Tyler Hansen and he jump-starts the Buffs to a huge win over undefeated Kansas. He had pretty solid day, made some plays with his feet and had 2 TDs. He's a running threat and that opened up their tailback for a productive day (100+ yards) against a pretty stiff KU run D. We are lucky to have a defense as good as ours, and it will only improve from here. But we can't waste Suh's final season with a completely inept offense that can't even sustain a drive. It's sad. We are in desperate need of a change. Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 i saw that too. I also swear that I saw the ticker roll by saturday night, instead of it saying "Texas Tech defeats Nebraska 31-10" it said "Texas Tech dominates Nebraska 31-10" Quote Link to comment
