From the few reps Purdy got in spring camp, I thought he did pretty well in the Spring Game. I don’t put a ton of stock into that game, just going off his limited reps and lack of chemistry with the WRs at that point.
Good. We will still run qb some so injury is more likely as compared to other teams. Need backup ready
Thank God for the transfer portal!
We assumed it would be handed to Thompson. Not so fast my friend...
What's wrong with saying that? Is it not true? Couldn't it motivate the other QBs?‘It’s his job to lose’: Scott Frost says Husker QB Casey Thompson likely to start - Aug 5
I wonder if you can ban a head coach from talking to the media
I was wondering the same about OPs and their dumb posts!‘It’s his job to lose’: Scott Frost says Husker QB Casey Thompson likely to start - Aug 5

I always defend Scott but Chubba wants to fight till the end to win the job. He didn’t need to say that. Serves no purposeWhat's wrong with saying that? Is it not true? Couldn't it motivate the other QBs?
I remember this scenario in 2018.
If one goes down, the other can step in. Like @redwine65 said, it's the way it should be. If Frost would had a viable backup, we could have benched Amart long ago.
It's one thing to be #1 in practice and lead the squad, it's another when the real games count. Hopefully, Thompson plays really, really well and takes the team over through productive play.I always defend Scott but Chubba wants to fight till the end to win the job. He didn’t need to say that.

With 3 weeks of practice left before the first game - the narrative should be about players continuing to win the job rather than on Aug 5 declaring the position someone’s to lose or choke awayWhat's wrong with saying that? Is it not true? Couldn't it motivate the other QBs?
Hard to believe that Luke McCaffrey was the only quarterback recruit in 2019 and Smothers was the only quarterback recruit in 2020.Smothers is not a P5 QB....so idk why anyone is surprised by this. CT is still going to be the #1
OuchHard to believe that Luke McAffrey was the only quarterback recruit in 2019 and Smothers was the only quarterback recruit in 2020.
NU is 40% of the way through fall practice. At this point, it "appears" these will be the starters: (Subject to change).With 3 weeks of practice left before the first game - the narrative should be about players continuing to win the job rather than on Aug 5 declaring the position someone’s to lose or choke away
if Purdy has an amazing few weeks of practice and is named the starter or co #1 the narrative is about Thompson losing the job because Frost declared it his to lose on Aug 5 rather than Purdy winning it
stupid choice of words -
Of course … that doesn’t mean you make comments about position x is player z’s to lose with 3 weeks left of campNU is 40% of the way through fall practice. At this point, it "appears" these will be the starters: (Subject to change).
Thompson, Grant, Palmer, Omar, Teddy, Corcoran, Hixson, Vokolek.
Nelson, Robinson, Mathis, Nick, Luke, Farmer, Newsome.
7-8 positions on each side of the ball is pretty solid with 3-4 spots on each side still undetermined.
It may not make much difference if the other DT/NT is Nash or Wynn, they'll both play alot. Same with the other positions.
I think the OL could still have some pretty good battles left between RG and maybe even RT.
Looks like they will play 3 guys at nickel, so whoever starts isn't that big a deal.
I probably forgot a player or two who may have separated themselves from the position group.
Sounds like a challenge to meI always defend Scott but Chubba wants to fight till the end to win the job. He didn’t need to say that. Serves no purpose
In hindsight, the QB recruiting had a G5 vibe.Hard to believe that Luke McAffrey was the only quarterback recruit in 2019 and Smothers was the only quarterback recruit in 2020.
I do kinda agree with you Redmich. There's no doubt Nelson, Teddy, Mathis, etc etc are gonna be the starters.Of course … that doesn’t mean you make comments about position x is player z’s to lose with 3 weeks left of camp
messaging matters - you win rather than not lose starting positions
in close games do Frost teams play to win or “not to lose”?
ffs in the Iowa after the blocked punt - we still had the lead in the 4th quarter, had out played them and were at home and the head coach was quoted as saying he knew the game was lost after that play - after 3+ years under Frosts leadership the players knew the game was lost as well
One word: hubrisHard to believe that Luke McAffrey was the only quarterback recruit in 2019 and Smothers was the only quarterback recruit in 2020.
