ZRod Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Honestly disappointed with Luke on this one. He could have been a special player here. Not at QB though. He's never going to be an elite QB, but he could have been an elite versatile player like his brother. 2 Quote Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 QB depth is pretty scary. AMart has had his injury concerns, and Smothers is an unknown. 2 Quote Link to comment
RichardHangslow Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeah I kinda am disappointed in Luke as well. I mean Nebraska gave him a shot a QB and he had some good moments, he also had some bad moments that I think he could have worked through. Anyway best of luck yadda yadda yadda. I am excited to see what Smothers can do. 1 Quote Link to comment

To me, Luke leaving doesn't change the QB depth. If Smothers is as good as advertised, we should be fine. We would have 2AM, Smothers and a true freshman. Spring ball is VERY important to get done. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

If he is set on being a qb go somewhere else. Quote Link to comment

But, I'm not sure how the staff could have done anything different. Maybe, the reason Frost pushed him to move to WR full time is because he has seen how good Smothers is. (pure speculation...but it's possible) 2 Quote Link to comment

But, yes, it is still concerning from a depth standpoint. 1 Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This is not the same as losing Wandale or JD. Luke was not going to see the field at QB. If he’s dead set on being behind center, it’s going to have to happen somewhere else. 2 Quote Link to comment
307husker Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 It's too bad to lose such an athlete, but if he's sticking to QB, it's really not much of a loss. AND, it opens the door to get a good QB to Nebraska, so it may end up being a net positive. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 FCS or group of 5 QB. Power five WR. Sorry Luke. 1 Quote Link to comment
