Who was going to be behind Gebbia if Riley doesn’t get canned? Oh look, it’s Bunch! Did Riley even have a QB commit for 2018 class? OL, QB and CB have no depth on the roster. edit: forgot about POB. Oh well, doesn’t change much. We had one of the worst programs in history last year. tOSU didn’t even punt against us. Thanks Mike, your legacy continues. It seems apparent that had Riley stayed, either POB or Gebbia would have quit once the other was named the startrer this fall as well. "There can be only one!". This 'me' mentality is like a cancer to a team which likely impacts the attitudes and focus of every position on the squad. Not sure what the coaches can or should do but that's why they get the big bucks. They are supposed to know how to massage and encourage and 'weed out' the ones that can't dedicate themselves and put the interests of the team ahead of their own personal, selfish interests. A careful evaluation of what the student-athlete is truly focused on is vital. When a player indicates his purpose and goal is to make it to the NFL rather than get a degree and plan his future career, etc, then the coach needs to take due note thereof. Reliance on team members whose personal goals are more inportant than helping the team will inevitably lead to these continuing problems. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 There is a pretty good chance that Tanner Lee stays another year if Riley is retained. Im not saying that is good or bad, but there would be 2 scholarship QB’s on the team this year if that happens. Quote Link to comment

Head Coach Scott Frost Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Who's Gebbia? Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I know it was an open competition, and both Gebbia and Bunch had their advocates among Husker fans, but didn't it always seem like Adrian Martinez was Scott Frost's handpicked guy? I'm betting Mr. Gebbia felt that way. 1 Quote Link to comment

Assuming that's true, he either has to be a heck of an actor or that really wasn't his attitude until someone else got in his ear. Quote Link to comment
quesadilla Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'm curious what role the public announcement played. The coaches basically said it was a tie so they went with the better runner/athlete (I'm paraphrasing), which surprised me. Maybe it was the truth and maybe it was something they thought would make the news easier to take, but either way I thought it was a young coach mistake and bad sports psychology. The rationale they offered was literally the whole "you can't coach speed" cliche. No time in the gym or at practice or in the film room was going to make him the better runner and once he had time to think about it, I am not surprised he transferred out. Any real competitor would. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was wondering why he was behind two younger 4 stars and they just recruited a freshman 4 Star ... that’s just how it is at OSU. I was thinking maybe he’s not as good as advertised but he’s doing good at LSU. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Wow. I'm not trying to pile on the guy but the people who have been trying to say "Bunch had an OK game" really don't know what was actually going on. 3rd quarter, 4:44 to play, we run a zone read look. I have no idea what the play was supposed to be but there is a HUGE hole right where Washington was headed. Instead Bunch pulls the ball and pass sets like he's looking for a receiver. But the receivers are all blocking. Bunch seems to finally figure out his mistake and pulls the ball down. He starts to run left where there is a little bit of room but then seems to realize that the play was supposed to go to the right where Washington was headed so he cuts back that direction. There is so much of a hole there that he is still able to get three yards but I don't see anyone who was going to tackle Washington if he gives it to him initially. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 And we follow that play up with a TD pass to Spielman on a WR screen but Williams gets called for holding and have to settle for a field goal. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, Washington just had to beat that safety and he's in the station Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 We should recruit four 4 star quarrerbacks like Ohio State and choose the best one to play. We should always have a 4 Star or better standing around ready to go in. Quote Link to comment

Played decent should be revised to threw the ball decently well because Frost scheduled him some easy completions. He was decidedly awful running zone read. Plays like that make it hard to say the line played terrible. It could have looked better if we execute plays correctly. 2 Quote Link to comment
