Cody Green

Yeah, I agree. I was addressing the poster that said we need to concentrate on developing our #1 and getting him experience.

So, if Zac Lee gets us a 42 point lead midway through the third quarter you believe Lee should still play the rest of the game?

Well, that'd be interesting.

I think there'd still be a strong case for it. He needs the snaps. He needs the gametime experience to make it comfortable and routine. The more snaps under his belt he has before the VT game, the better. Garbage time or not.

 
If Bo still has the starting QB in when the game is finished with a 42 point lead, Nebraska is really going to take it on the chin at some point.

 
Oh, I hadn't considered it from that standpoint.

Still, he could be simply handing it off and attempting once-in-a-while throws to 3rd string receivers, behind the 2nd team OL. Live snaps are still live snaps.

I am pretty sure just handing off the ball in live game action isn't really going to help Lee at that point. He needs to get experience making reads, throws, and executing Zone Reads. If they are up by 42 put the back up in, one because I would rather Lee stay healthy and two it doesn't look good.

well..... unfortunatly right off the bat no PPV..... of Huskers game here in HAwaii...... but what i want to say is lets just focus on winning the game and lets not get carried away about how much points we will have before CG comes in and gets valualbe playing time.... i'm hoping we will win but lets not get nuts here......................

 
If Cody Green is the #2, that means he goes in if #1 goes down. There's no 'OR' between him and Latravis Washington. He's listed as the clear cut #2 guy now. Green needs to get in and take every snap he can get, because whether his first NCAA start is tomorrow or next year, he needs experience. He's one mild concussion, sprained ankle, flu bug, etc. away from going from #2 to #1.

If we don't have *mop-portunities for Green against FAU, Arkansas State, or UL Lafayette......I think we've got bigger problems. And if Lee isn't getting it done after a few games, we've got to give #2 a shot don't we? Who cares if he's a freshman.

Robert Griffin wasn't too bad as a true freshman. The media talked frequently about his athletic ability, but I also heard a bunch about his poise, leadership and maturity. They say he was beyond his years in the intangibles department.

I keep hearing buzzes about the poise, maturity and decision making of Cody Green too. I'm not saying that Green is better than Lee, or will be this year or next. I'm saying as long as he is an a position to potentially start (which he is as the #2 guy), he needs as much experience as he can get. The moment he became the backup, the redshirt became an afterthought.

*Feel free to use the word 'mop-portunities', for a .02 cent surcharge per usage. Thanks. -_-
