There could be a silver lining tonight

Maybe our freshman QB gets some PT and plays well.

If he does, hopefully the coaching staff makes the right decision and lets him start the rest of the season. There's just no reason to start Armstrong anymore. We don't need him to beat the Marylands and Iowa's of college football and it's time to start looking to the future.

No reason to burn his redshirt.. Its not just Tommy. It starts with the OL

4 games of starting experience is far more valuable than a redshirt. Again, I'm looking at our road game against Oregon next year.

Exactly. No sense getting a freshman killed at this point in the season.

I believe the qb that came from Tulane will be our starter.. Cant remember his name

Is the silver lining that I may ingest way too much booze? Because this showing is pathetic.

 

[8675309husker]

I have faith we will comeback..

 

[Snickerdoodle70]

Well, all the Tommy haters now have their wish. Here comes Ryker Fife!

 

[8675309husker]

Blah.. Tommy has heart.. Never gives up..

 

[Snickerdoodle70]

Jesus. I can't remember anything like this to a Nebraska player.

Just to be clear, I wrote this prior to the injury and the intent of my post was that the backup would play due to lopsided score. I wish nothing but the best health for Tommy.

Ok.

Maybe you should think before you post next time.Yeah, want the best for Tommy, blah, blah, blah. Real easy to say now, isn't it. Trash him and then make people think you really care now.

Does POB even make the road trips?

We're paying the price for the previous staff's QB recruiting philosophies. Our QB depth chart has been a ticking time-bomb for 7 of the last 8 years. The only year it wasn't was the year TM was a Sr. and TA was a RS Frosh.

Perhaps next year we'll see some stability at the position, with Lee and POB as the 1 & 2, and another scholarship QB (Gebbia) either redshirting or being the #3.

Alabama is starting a true freshman quarterback. It can be done.

Jeez, you don't follow the program that closely do you? Of course he does.

 

[chicolby]

With all due respect to you, it would be incredibly disrespectful to the team and seniors to scrap the season to "build for next year" by putting in a frosh.

The games against Minny, Maryland and Iowa certainly mean something and the team has a shot at a 10 win season and a nice bowl game.

 

[RealHusker]

JFC dude...what's wrong with you? A simple "Yes" would have been adequate.

Sure. If you have Bama's O line and supporting cast that can work.

Are you saying POB would have no time to pass just like Tommy and Ryker? I don't believe you...
