panhandle husker, actually Mickey was from a different recruiting class than the one Max rated number 1. But you are correct he was at the very least one of Max's top ten prospects. Decent Husker QB, but not as good as advertised coming out of college. Never was Tommie Frazier talent or Darien Hagen talent.
Remembering that Oklahoma game, Mike Grant took over the game at QB and sucked it up. Mike reminded me some physically and athletically of Cody Green.
Remembering the CU game his junior year -- CU won 27-12 -- and the controversial call where Mickey appeared to have scored a long TD run but was called stepping out of bounce. Man, if you look at the replays, it couldn't be any closer. He may have or may not had touched the line. We would have been up 19-0 in that game.
His senior year, I remember Mickey starting in the opening game, but he struggled in the first quarter and T O put in Keithen McCant(sp?). KM started the rest of the year ... he had a productive senior year. KM was the second QB recruited in Mickey's class.
