That would be 20 pounds heavier than Smothers, and hopefully would make him more durable from a week to week basis. I know he broke his collarbone, but I consider broken bones more "freak injuries" which can happen to any QB, regardless of size. Running the QB is a terrible idea in the Big Ten. Need backs to do that. So much for the experienced QB and taking 2 huh? 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I think the staff strategically scheduled him to visit 1/14 before the classes start on the 1/18 to allow recruitment of a veteran. Purdy is all but N and likely would commit if his offer was committable right now, in my opinion. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I just want the QB to be able to run on occasion. 2 Quote Link to comment

QB being the leading ball carrier is not a good idea, that's what I was going for. 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Nebraska is the only visit he has scheduled, and classes begin in a couple weeks, so yeah. He's got four years of eligibility, though, so I could see us also taking someone with just a year or two. 1 Quote Link to comment
