That sucks

[kchusker_chris]

he played most of the season. first 8 games or so.

Wow!? Really? I don't remember seeing him in more than three games maybe all year. Of course, he's highly talented so we tend to not play these guys much til' they transfer.

I think he missed a game or two in there. But he played in several.

Yeah, don't think he went out until northwestern - so played wyoming, south. miss, ucla, sdsu, illini, purdue (didn't have any catches in last 2 but played), minnesota. missed NW, Michigan, MSU, Iowa. So it probably seems like he only played in 4 or so game, but he was in there up until middle of conference play.

 

He is one I'm concerned about in regards to a transfer. He's good w/ the media which has built this "team guy" persona - but he's had issues w/ practicing in the past and this season was tough. Plus he's got some outside distractions now. If we land one of these JUCO WRs though it wouldn't suprise me.

Really don't think he transfers. Probably just unnoticed because we don't feature the slot WR as some offenses do?

[RedSavage]

A lot of the games he played in, he was playing hurt. Not exactly sure when the injury occurred but I'm pretty sure it was fairly early in the season. Makes it much harder to be a productive WR when you have a hammy injury.

unnoticed = unused.

Can Spencer Long get a medical redshirt??? Taylor Martinez too? (not likely he'd be interested in doing so though )

[kchusker_chris]

225 yard in his first 5 games as a Husker, basically didn't play second half of the season. Rebounded to a promising 400+ yard season before getting schematically butt-plugged to the tune of 100 total yards as a junior. If he wants to play at the next level, his smartest move is to use that redshirt, and find a new home. He isn't going to get much more than that next season.

 

Looking back, might have been better to leave him at QB. He could have had a nice season under his belt this year.

Not sure if serious, his best move is to quit trying and take his ball and go home?

Turner will probably move to Quincy's spot next year, and westerkamp will take the slot position.

 

Turner came on strong in the final games of the 2012 season, I think his absence in this season was due to injury, next year should be different.
