Scarlet Overkill Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think this is the only answer to who starts at QB. Sarcasm, of course, but interesting idea anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment

Can you imagine that along with some Wildcat or direct RB snaps mixed in, all at a Frost's no-huddle pace. Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Has anyone specifically asked about Gebbia during the duration of Fall Camp? 1 Quote Link to comment

If nothing else, it would really confuse the defense and make them burn a time out. Quote Link to comment

The perception, fair or not, will be that he was given the job because the two more talented players couldn't claim it. It'll be interpreted in the way some people felt a lot of walk-ons in the last several years became starters - not because they had turned into really great players but because roster depth and development had been poorly managed. If he is the guy - then he will be well received when he leads NU down the field for several touchdowns in back to back games. Thats truly all that matters - kids develop when they develop some do it early and catch the eye of the services and others do it later and miss out on the hype Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Verduzco commented on the QB's tonight, but still did not share the info we were hoping to get. https://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/husker-coach-mario-verduzco-says-qb-battle-still-highly-competitive/article_b3e4a5cf-b723-5f9e-9765-a8e09d7aa8df.html 2 Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I've always said this isn't a race of passer vs runner. That short changes both players. 2 Quote Link to comment

gobiggergoredder Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Callahan and Rose said this morning on KFAB that they are hearing Gebbia is separating himself by being consistent and not making mistakes. 3 Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I could certainly see the "two QB on the field" as a real package to be used at certain situations, series or an opponent like OSU to try to rattle or gain some momentum. I like the idea, especially if you had two stud dual threat QB's. Quote Link to comment

I think consistency and not making mistakes are good traits to have in a QB, but something tells me that Frost is also seeking that explosive dual threat quality in his QB which is why he went after Martinez and has also gone after McCaffrey and Smothers. Perhaps Martinez will not be ready day one, but I cannot see Frost sticking with Gebbia for multiple years unless Gebbia is a way better runner than we have seen in the past. It will be interesting to see how this season unfolds. Quote Link to comment

He has said so many times. It's why we shouldn't, and the staff isn't, in a hurry to make this choice. At some point, all of the studying and practice will click in for one of these guys. I would also take any comments about this with a perspective in mind...Frost knows this offense can be great, even in year 1. They are throwing a lot at the guys, and the standards are extremely high. Quote Link to comment
