Random KState thoughts

I wouldn't go so far as to say we will have a proven second year qb. He may start the year, but I see BillyC getting his player in there. I think it will be an interesting spring to see taylor and beck battle it out.

:WTH A stat guy can verify this but I believe Taylor has become the single season passing leader at Nebraska, passing guys like Humm and Feragamo. I'd say that qualifies him as a proven QB!

Taylor will kick his butt in practice next spring and obviously has been so far this season or Cally would have started Beck ahead of him. :horns2

JMO. Beck is back-up. Taylor is here to stay. :worship

 
I keep hearing this about missing Herian, but prior to 04, Herian had a 23 yd average per reception for his 1st 2 years, and last years average was 12.8, I believe. Not exactly the "big threat" guy in billy c's offense.

That, and he was pretty much ignored after about the 1st 3 games, means that the TE isnt as important in billy c's scheme as on might think.

Come on dude. If you don't believe we miss Heiran you are nuts. Who cares that he only average a freakin first down every time he caught the ball. Who would want a TE that does that? :wacko: So his yardage per catch went down, that would mean he was running more routes then just straight down the field. It couldn't have been that after having 17 catches the first three weeks the other teams thought "If we cover Heiran nobody else on their team can beat us catching passes."

I'm sure this was just Billy C's way of running him out of town as well.

 
2) Nice job, pud, for backing out of the Houston game, and getting a cupcake like Maine to sign on. Good thing NU had 7 home games…

We've always been known for our tough non-confernce schedules. Look at 02 if you want to see how scheduling helps. Utah St, Troy St, McNesse St. Man those are some top level teams. :wacko:

4) Maybe if billy c didn’t run off his starting qb, he wouldn’t have had to burn Beck’s RS year, and pawn the future of the program for a win against the conference bottom feeder. Like Ganz or Davis couldn’t have gone 1-6 and thrown an INT. Sacrificing the kids and the programs future for his own personal gain. what a shame.

Here's a fact for you. Dailey was 4th string behind Taylor, Ganz, and Davis. Beck is behind only Taylor. Dailey wouldn't have seen the field in that situation. Nice try with that though. Maybe just maybe those other guys passed Dailey because they were better then him. That's impossible though, I'm sure Callahan just wanted to run him out of town. dedhoarse

Its amazing how you go from first string one week to 4th string the next week. BC had to get HIS guy in there. Im not a supporter of JD, but he got the shaft. It was best for him to leave because he would never get a fair shot again. If BC was smart he would have kept JD as an experienced backup to ZT this year. Now our 3 backups are Ganz who I don't believe has ever taken a snap, Beck a true freshman who had never taken a snap and is labeled the future, Davis who threw about 4 ints in his only appearance. It would just be nice to have someone in there with a little experience.

I guess that's why Dailey started the entire year after BC brought in 3 QB's more designed to fit his offense? Seems to me that if you follow that insane logic then Beau Davis or Ganz would have been taking snaps in 04 instead of Dailey, right? :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

And NU's passing records are out of this world. Your right ZT did break Humm's single season passing record set in 1972. It only took ZT 356 attempts and 196 completions to do it. Humm only had the opportunity to throw it 266 times and complete 140. ZT also beat Ferragamo's record of completions in a season. VF only had 145 completions out of 254 attempts.

JD was the only QB w/ experience. The other choices were fr. We saw what happened when Davis played. Ganz was a true freshman. I believe Adams would have had a shot to play if he hadn't have gotten sick.

Very Cool! Thanks for looking that up! :thumbs

Taylor broke a record that stood for 30+ years! And the season ain't over yet! Each completion is a new record. :worship :worship

He also shattered the single game record for completions and passing yards! :worship :worship

BTW, what are the yardage stats?

Humm passed for 2074 yards, and I believe ZT has thrown for 20 more yards than that (2094). One more game to go to distance that record. Hopefully he will throw for 400+ yards.
