Caleb Lightbourn to...
- Thread starter HBK4life_rivals100467
- Start date
I'd call Oregon St. our B team... But its probably more like a C- or D team.
Wish him all the best, but I still can't get the image of that onside kick against Ohio State out of my head.
He should have a good chance to play, Oregon State punts so much that I am sure they will need to use more than one punter.Laughing
Lightbourn's story is a strange one do kinda feel for the guy and wish him well.
Thrown in unexpectedly his freshman year and doing ok under the circumstances. But he really didn't progress. Maybe some of that was shell shock and/or maybe work ethic.
Strange thing, watch him during pregame warmups and the receiver could stand in a spot and he wouldn't have to move because Caleb would put the ball on the money.... almost every time that I watched. In the game....oh my. Life is like a box of chocolates.
I don't know, kicker types are strange ducks at times.

Literally the worst punter I've ever seen at NU. Good luck to him at OSU though.
He's gonna fatigue that leg by the end of the season.
He would have been fine at Nebraska if he could have kicked the ball higher and further...and not missed that one kickoff.
When Riley was here I think the Huskers were the B or C team.
Are they actually giving him a scholarship? You could probably find a better punter at any walk-on tryout at any college in the country.
Lightborne's onside kick and Jake Cotton's tipover at the line of scrimmage have to be the two of the most embarrassing single-moments for NU football over the past decade, if not longer. Luckily we will never have to watch those during the future tunnel walks.
I wish the kid well, he had a rough go. Apparently Oregon st is fine with being the clean up crew for Neb.
Yep. How sad. One end of the spectrum is Johnny the jets punt return, crouch vs Mizzou, Tommie Fraziaaaaaaaa vs Florida, and Terry Connealys sack of Costa. On the other end......the two you mentioned. My.
Dude got the yips something fierce. Maybe a change of scenery is what he needs.
Whatever happened to Keyshawn Jr. and is his quarterback starting for Oregon St next year?
Key Jr last I heard was at Arizona and not even on the roster.
This was all a premeditated plan by Frost to get even with OSU for poaching Gebbia at the last minute... Frost thinks, "Hmm...let's see who can we "process" to get even with OSU? I know, Caleb, you're the man. Pack your bags". Really I hope the kid has all kinds of success there. Good kid. Nice obscure place to try to restart his football career. There's plenty of NFL kickers and punters who have bloopers out there as well. If you aren't on video, they can't show it....
