if this has been mentioned, I apologize...but did you hear Riley say...

[spartanhusker]

...he had O.Brien warming up to go in if Tommy wasn't able to go??? Did I hear that right????

I heard that somewhere Saturday after the game, but can't remember tv radio or where.

 

[TwinsRRUs]

Hmmm. Interesting.

Fyfe went right in and I believe the announcers mentioned that he had been warming up on the sidelines before going in.

I wonder if Riley misspoke? Would like to hear what he said. Hard to believe he would actually put him in, unless Riley loses sleep at night dreaming of last year's Purdue game...

I have never been a QB coach, but did stay at the Holiday Inn Express once. Wouldn't it make sense that if your #1 was out for good and you sent the #2 in, the #3 would "warm up" a bit? Or does a QB only warm up if it is certain he is going in?

Maybe POB was just warming Fyfe up by playing catch with him?

That's what I saw looking down on the sideline.

That's what I saw looking down on the sideline.

Radio play by play said O'Brien was up warming up.

 

[spartanhusker]

Yeah...I 'm SURE he said that POB was potentially going to go in....

 

[Bugeater]

I have a friend of a friend who has a friend that says his friend saw him warming up. He was sitting on the bench catching some sun as it was a nice day for it.

I do think if TA is going to miss any significant time this season POB will get the nod. Riley does not want his job riding on RF.

 

[spartanhusker]

What I was kind of thinking...

 

[spinner4]

Lets hope it doesn't matter. We've been cheated out of having a Sr QB since Joe Ganz. Lee & T-mart both were hurt their Sr year. We need TA this season. This is his team. No one on the team can do the job like TA can. Not a walk-on nor a true Frosh

 

[HuskerMike85]

If TA goes down for an extended amount of time POB will be the QB not RF. Fyfe is there to finish out a game or if TA misses a game like last season. If it's multiple games POB is our guy. GBR
