Key Spring Goal: Settle the Quarterback Battle
The transition to a 3-4 defense under new coordinator Bob Diaco is also worth monitoring this spring in Lincoln, but the Cornhuskers have an interesting quarterback battle set to unfold. Redshirt freshman Patrick O’Brien – the No. 204 recruit in the 2016 247Sports Composite – will compete with Tulane transfer Tanner Lee for the starting job. In two years with the Green Wave, Lee threw for 23 scores and 21 interceptions. After a redshirt year, Lee should be up-to-speed on Nebraska’s system and is his pro-style background is a good fit for the offense. True freshman Tristan Gebbia will also have a chance to make an impression this spring.
