Ben Cotton

[bshirt]

I find it kind of funny how Husker Nation's opinion on Ben Cotton has swung this year. Last year, he was only one the team because he is the coach's son and Kyler Reed was the best TE we had. Now, Cotton's a critical part of the offense.

Heh....for internet HuskerNation, par for the course.

I know it's fashionable to bash the entire Cotton clan because of Barney's (perceived coaching skills or not) rep on most fan boards, but I am glad we have all three Cotton kids as Huskers (including Sam next year)........

Agreed. Regardless of what folks think of Barney, his kids are producing and becoming integral parts of the team.

Ben is the only one who has produced and/or became an integral part of the team.

the others are a RS Frosh and a senior in HS....What would you have them accomplish at this point in their career?

That's a good question.

Is this board completely off it's rocker? I'm not the one who claimed they were producing and what have you.

Don't worry I still hate Cotton and his knack for mindless penalties

I really hope he's ready for the bowl. Definitely saw a drop-off in blocking with him out and he's a decent receiver.

Kyler Reed should be out there instead...

That's right. He can't block "anybody" but who cares?

I hear what you are saying, I think maybe they mistook that you were trying to take an anti cotton stance or something not just pointing out fact.

On the contrary, I believe Barney Cotton's mustache alone is worthy of admiration.
