Mavric Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Zack Darlington confirmed he's the No. 1 holder this season and the emergency quarterback who can preserve Patrick O'Brien's redshirt in case of an equipment mishap. OWH Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Punt return and kick return battles remain up in the air, Read said. At punt returner, Nebraska is looking at Jordan Westerkamp, Stanley Morgan, De'Mornay Pierson-El and JD Spielman. At kick returner, Mikale Wilbon, Tre Bryant, Terrell Newby and Spielman are in the mix. Read said kick return will be "revamped" for 2016; he didn't provide many details. OWH Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 "in case of an equipment mishap"???? Lol what does this mean? I would guess helmet comes off so he has to go out for a play or something to that effect. Exactly. An article I read mentioned that ZD would be used if the QB had to come off the field for a play or two. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Ah okay. I wonder if the plan is still for him to be the 3rd string QB if that role is needed for say, a half quarter of mop-up duty, or an entire series where the backup goes through concussion protocol or something.

Mavric Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Latest word: What was settled became shaken up after the July death of All-Big Ten punter Sam Foltz. Caleb Lightbourn eventually won the job after a competition with fellow freshman Isaac Armstrong. The kicking already is in good hands with Drew Brown, and Jordan Ober returns as the long snapper.

SABER Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 It sounds like Ober was really worth the schollie, he is a professional at what he does, down to the rotations on the ball back to the holder. Quote Link to comment
TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Im glad we recruited a punter whew Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Im glad we recruited a punter whew I remember there were a number of people questioning the recruitment of Lightbourn when we already had Foltz. Even if Foltz had been available, Caleb could have spent a year redshirting and fine tuning his punting. Too bad we don't have that luxury any more. Quote Link to comment
