AustinHuskr Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 This was the 1 name that was talked about much last year. Remember the KSU game..... when all those 2nd stringers trotted out after the wood shed beating and everyone was in awe about how physically talented they looked esp. Qvale.... What the heck happened? He was supposed to be a definite starter in spring camp......and now just like the other eyebrow raising personnel issues on offense he's AWOL. Anyone know what the deal is?

MJSkers Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 No idea where he's at, but the line is playing better than we expected (still not great), so can't complain too much. Of course, we could bring up this topic about tons of players that don't see the field and relate it to personnel issues, etc. Bottom line is, fire Bo.....right???? Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Would like to ask again about Brandon Thompson, as well. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 could be banged up. No...not sex thing but injury bug Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Would like to ask again about Brandon Thompson, as well. Or Sirles..................although he is a continuing spokesman/ quote machine................ Quote Link to comment
HuskerinSunDiego Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 The weird thing is that Qvale didn't even attend the Penn State game, and there was no word of injuries. One minute, this guy was going to be the starting tackle as a true freshmen. The next, he's third string. Don't get it. Quote Link to comment
Stickney Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Where's Tyler Moore? I think the trend is Freshmen are fall camp superstars and the, evidently, get lost in Love Library (silly OL bookworms). Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but maybe Qvale just isn't at that point yet where he deserves serious playing time. Somebody mentioned in another thread that his technique isn't where it needs to be yet. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea. He's still young, though, and has at least two more years to push for playing time. Same goes for Moore and Thompsen. If they're not playing, it's because they got beat out. In Moore's case, I'm not surprised. He's a true freshman with a ton of potential, but he's still a true freshman. Marcel Jones has been here for many years and is probably the more consistent player right now if he's starting over Moore. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Bo said in today's presser that Qvale and Thompson are both day-to-day with injuries. Ben Cotton and Andrew Rodriguez are doubtful for Michigan. EDIT - here's an updated from the LJS: Bo Pelini was asked about several injuries Monday. -- Starting tight end Ben Cotton is doubtful for Saturday's game at Michigan, the Husker coach said. Cotton's right arm was in a sling after the Penn State game. -- Starting LG Andrew Rodriguez also is doubtful. He didn't make the trip to Penn State because of an undisclosed injury, which I believe happened late last week in practice. -- Reserve offensive guard Brandon Thompson and backup wideout Khiry Cooper are "day-to-day" because of injuries. -- Pelini expects reserve guard Brent Qvale to return to action this week. He could be a big help with depth behind guards Seung Hoon Choi and Spencer Long, who played every down at Penn State. LINK Quote Link to comment

Looks like we've got to start another thread about why this guy or that guy isn't playing and how our coaching staff missuses guys, doesn't play the right guys, recruits bad...........

At this rate 1/2 the team seems to be injured! Good GOD! What happened to Turner's injury ? Quote Link to comment

However, you assume that the coaches are not playing guys on purpose, and they are mismanaging. Is it fair to assume either direction? No. What's fair is admitting we don't know everything that goes on with the football program. Quote Link to comment

No. What's fair is admitting we don't know everything that goes on with the football program. My post was a little tongue in cheek (in case you missed the roll eyes emoticon). I don't put much stock into Bo's "injury updates". Guys are AWOL and then suddenly we find out they are injured. If guys are dropping like flies then we need to revisit the S&C program bec. I can't ever remember a time when 4 DT's and about 4 OL got injured in a season. Something's just weird there. Also - what happened to Sirles' progress? He was a 4* and should have been busting out this year but now looks lost in the lineup after playing a lot of snaps in 2010. Quote Link to comment
