Huskers Land Texas Transfer QB Casey Thompson

[ColoradoHusk]

There are only four games left in the season.  We've all heard about Richie Torres' arm, lets see it in action.

Isn't Torres still limited from a knee injury he suffered in high school?

I'm not sure how limited he is at this point.  But he's definitely missed a lot.  I can't imagine he's anywhere near game-ready from a knowledge-of-the-offense standpoint.

That's okay. It seems as if the starters, at times, aren't near game-ready from a knowledge of the offense standpoint either.

Pfft, as if he needs to know anything more than 'back up a mile and YOLO bomb it'!

Fire up Haarberg!

Im hearing strained bicep muscle.. but I also heard the earth is flat as well... sooooo.

Fire up Haarberg!

I got to the game early enough to watch warm ups and Haarberg and Smothers were throwing in tandem. Haarberg throws bullets that are on target while Smothers was throwing wobblers that often required adjustments from the WR. The question is obviously about timing and decision making for Haarberg.

That is the question for all of our QB's though. At this point, I'd take my chance on the bullet thrower with a touch of mobility. I'm not joking. Either RPO it up with Smothers and a quick out game plan, or Haarberg for the Whipple effect. Purdy has no business being in the room.

Here in lies the problem. Unless they already have packages in place for these guys, everything mentioned will not be effective this season. You just don’t install rpo in short time. These take off seasons for reads and timing.

While home field advantage is a 2-3 point swing in Vegas, CT is like a 14 point swing… and I may be lowballing that!

 

[Packerhuskerfan]

Purdy did not look like a Division 1 QB last week and Whipple probably refuses to put together a full game plan to suit Smothers' strengths, so the huge point spread is predictable.

He brused the nerve that goes from elbow down to his hand.  Until it heals, gripping the football will hard.

Not counting out Casey.  

If they rule him out, I'd go with Logan Smothers.  Run and punt.  Field position.  Do stuff like that.
