Dailey says he wishes best for Huskers
Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. - If much-maligned former Nebraska quarterback Joe Dailey feels vindicated by the Cornhuskers' struggles on offense, he isn't saying.
Dailey, now at North Carolina, declined an Associated Press interview request. But he said in an e-mail that he wishes the best for the Huskers.
"From what I hear they are 3-0, and from that I know that they have done enough to make sure their side of the scoreboard has more points than the opposing teams'," Dailey wrote. "I hope they continue to win football games for the sake of the university, players and the coaching staff."
Recruited by former Nebraska coach Frank Solich to play in the triple-option offense, Dailey was the starter when coach Bill Callahan unveiled the West Coast offense last year. He completed 49.4 percent of his passes for 2,025 yards and 17 touchdowns but was intercepted 19 times. He was the target of much criticism as the Huskers went 5-6.
Dailey transferred to North Carolina after dropping to fourth on the depth chart last spring. He must sit out this season and will be a junior in eligibility next season.
