np_husker Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 On espn.com they have a headline about Pelini and OC split on Lee starting. It's an "insider" story and I'm not an insider. Anyone out there an ESPN Inisder and if so, what's the scoop? http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/ncf/index Look on right side of screen. Quote Link to comment
HuskerMoon Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The head coach and the Offensive coordinator are split on the decision on whom to start... ummmm.. Seems like a simple answer to me.. Head coach decision trumps ANY decision of the OC. At least it should. Bo can pull rank on Wats any day of the week if he so desires and should in my opinion. Quote Link to comment
typ3kal Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Anyone who is an insider able to sum up what the article says? Quote Link to comment
NU41SB Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Honestly, unless I'm missing something, it doesn't say much of anything other than Watson feels Green is "closing the gap" between himself and Lee. It also just links this article http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2009/1...51201018990.txt Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 You know, with both saying Lee graded out well, this is nothing but a cheap attempt at turning heads and spinning controversy. Hard to have respect for sports journalists. Quote Link to comment

redout22 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Anyone who is an insider able to sum up what the article says? Really not much. To sum it up it just said that Watson thinks the battle is closer and Green is gaining on Lee everyday while Bo says that Lee is the starter and Green isn't ready. Quote Link to comment

Washington could have come in for mop up duty against the sunbelt teams and you can always burn it in an emergency. WTF? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Than why burn his redshirt? Washington could have come in for mop up duty against the sunbelt teams and you can always burn it in an emergency. WTF? Simple pragmatism. Green is, without question, the #2 guy. Apparently it's not even close between him and Washington. If Lee goes down, Green goes in. That means you MUST have some snaps under his belt, or the season is wasted. This decision was made during the Sun Belt phase of our season, and it was the correct decision. Regarding the "Insider" article - their source is this article by Sipple. Thank goodness I'm an "Insider." It comes with one of the football leagues I'm in, or I wouldn't bother. You get better info by trolling google news. Quote Link to comment

Unless Bo's guy is Lee. I never thought about that. Who knows maybe Watson was leaning towards Green but Pelini gave Lee the nod. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 You mean to tell me that it was Bo behind the Lee playing over Green and not Watson. Interesting. Does this change anyones views of Watson or Bo? Quote Link to comment

It's really pissing me off more and more that Bo keeps insisting that Green's not ready. New flash Bo: Neither is Lee! Quote Link to comment
