I find that hard to believe that Frost wouldn't even give him the option..

Maybe it's his injured shoulder?  Don't know.

I don't find it hard to believe.  Scott could still thank him for giving it his best but its been 4 yrs and he is going in a different direction.  Going with Smothers but also bringing in a Transfer.

Yeah dude might not be able to throw a ball until summer and even then might not be 100% by fall camp. If that’s the case we would need to move forward without him.

He will be ready for the last 4 games, allowing him to redshirt and play all of 2023!

Which four games can he play in? If conference championships and playoff count, that's a lot of games we have to plan for.

Or he's just talking about Friday's game, which happened in the past

Honestly, our freshman QB came in cold and played an Adrian Martinez kinda game almost note for note against Iowa.

 

I no longer think Nebraska needs Adrian to have a chance next year. I think our chances will be the same with Logan Smothers. 

 

Maybe a tick better.

He didn’t play Friday…. however it was sarcasm anyway

We must move on from AM.  He wasn’t the problem, but not the solution either.  7 wins should be the minimum with next year’s schedule.  That’s not happening with anyone on the roster now.  Maybe the new OC can help bring a good portal QB.

One of the best ways to descried the situation with 2AM.

From what I've seen from the spring game, to the limited time he's come in here and there this season, and then in the Iowa game he just doesn't seem to even be on Martinez's level in terms of standing in the pocket and reading a defense on designed passing plays.

 

I think the only way Smothers plays next year is if the staff can't drum up a better passer out of the portal.

 

Teams will widen out for Smothers to stop the option. Our O-line can't block well for inside running and our running backs aren't particularly great across the board anyway.

 

I'm just not seeing much success with Smothers next year either. Not the kind of success that takes a 3 win team to 7 wins anyway.
