BigWillie Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Also as well, looking at the participation charts Dan Erickson has played this year. So no RS for him, either. Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 No, thanks for pointing that out. The Chris Brooks double was my mistake with another guy. I was just typing without double checking who i had listed. I went ahead and corrected the list and double checked the roster and playing time. I was basically typing and trying to think of who used a redshirt and who has played at the same time. Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I am confused, are you saying that Chris Brooks can't redshirt this year when he hasn't even caught a pass yet? if so then what a dumb move by callahan for even playing him!! Quote Link to comment

Season's not over yet, man. Who knows what lies ahead in the next 4+ games for Brooks. Quote Link to comment

BigRedDallasTexan Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 he's already burned his redshirt so if he's able to go we should definitley use him. Quote Link to comment

Once you get in a game, your redshirt is gone. He has played in 3 or 4 games already. Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 How retarded, throw him the ball then! Have him run a simple route and get the ball into his hands and lets see what he can do, I mean why not? Quote Link to comment
chuckd Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Obviously he is not up to the level that the coaches would like him to be, otherwise I would imagine he would see a lot more time. As for burning his redshirt, the wr position is one of the positions that we lack depth the most. Then you factor in Hardy, Fluellen, and LeFlore have all had injuries playing Brooks was probably more out of need than anything. The coaches may have also thought thay getting him into the game would motive him a little. From what I hear it sounds like Brooks needs to mature a little bit footballwise, I saw in an article where he himself said he doesn't practice very well. I'm sure if he can improve on this and work hard from here on out he will get some touches. Quote Link to comment
BigRedDallasTexan Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 I agree, if the coaches thought he was good enough to be in there then he would be. Maybe he's still not fully recovered from his inury? I think it's obvious that we need all of the talented recievers that we can muster up, but if he's not ready i wouldn't want him in there.

NamelessHusker Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The moment you play 1 down in college football, you are not eligible for a redshirt that year. Chris's first down came in the Maine game, thus he's not eligible for a redshirt this year. Why Brooks hasn't been played? That's something only the coaches know. We can only speculate that it's a lazy work ethic or still suffering from his knee scope or he just isn't catching on to the playbook oir whatever other reason fans want to come up with Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Does anyone have any news on Broderick Hunter or Wallace Franklin?? I haven't heard anything about these guys in forever. Word has been circulating that these guys are back on the NU radar screen. I can't find if the staff has extended their offers back to them. Quote Link to comment
