There's a real good article on the ex-husker QB's in North Carolina(Dukes, Dailey, and the Jersey guy)

Someone find it.

 
Eric, I found your original post. link

Luckily you cut and pasted the article because it is no longer in the original paper's online archive.

There's simple coincidence, and then there's freaky, inexplicable stuff.

File the flight of former Nebraska quarterbacks to the Triangle under the latter.

In a bizarre series of transfers, the football rosters at N.C. State, North Carolina and Duke each have a former Nebraska quarterback. Even Wake Forest has a tie to the Huskers.

Still need a decoder ring to determine the order of the "Star Wars" series? Try connecting the dots from Lincoln, Neb., to the ACC's Big Four.

Here's how it works:

* At N.C. State: Ryan Goodman, a star wrestler who also plays football, was a reserve quarterback for the Cornhuskers during the 2004 season and transferred to State on Thursday.

* At North Carolina: Joe Dailey, the Huskers' starting quarterback in 2004 -- ahead of Goodman -- transferred to UNC in May.

* At Duke: Curt Dukes, a back-up quarterback at Nebraska in 2002, transferred to Duke and appeared in six games in 2004 for the Blue Devils.

* At Wake Forest: Zac Taylor, stuck behind starter Cory Randolph, transferred after the 2003 season to a junior college in Kansas. After throwing 29 touchdowns for Butler County Community College in 2004, Taylor jumped to Nebraska, where he won the starting job -- over Dailey -- in spring practice.

Sounds like at UNC they are going to try to work their system around Dailey and not Dailey around their system.

"I think a difference between what I will do and what Bill (Callahan) did at Nebraska was I'll adapt more to the quarterback's strengths, rather than try to fit them in a system," Cignetti said.

"I think as coaches that's what you need to do. There's a saying that I believe in: It's players, not plays. I've been blessed to know the same offense Bill Callahan knows. I worked under Mike McCarthy, but I'm not stubborn enough to think it's the plays."

I wish Dailey the best, but the coach better not call any passing plays. Try building around Dailey's interceptions.

I think he'd fumble handing it off, too. Better to just leave everything to the defense.

 
WoW I am sure glad we dont have to face that team this year :WTH

I wish North Carolina was on our non-conference schedule. It may not help recruiting much, but I would love to see our Blackshirts run Joe Dailey into the ground. Then we'd see who's "too soft"! :steam
