I think the kid is one of the toughest kids to ever play the game at Nebraska. He played a position he really was not supposed to play, (wanted to). He put on a true display the first few games, even Hypsman conversation at one point.
He was belittled, rumors made about him, embarrassed on National TV, played injured, (my guess, in nearly every single game) giving his all, including his body. Yelled at booed, and week after week, he was there, doing all he could possibly do for his team to win. Never saying a word, limping clawing his way back on the field, because he knew that he was our only hope.
He had some great results, but he never quite measured up for a lot of people on this board. He never won a CC nor a MNC, but he truly helped this program gain some respect, made life for his head coach a lot easier in the long run. I really would hate to think where this program would be right now without his efforts.
And as Guy says, even with two of the most debilitating injuries for a running QB, he put up highlight videos, head and shoulders above his peers on his team.
The others that are mentioned in this list, had pretty much the best of everything around them, Taylor not so much.
