Chubba outplayed Smothers
- Thread starter Redmich
- Start date
I'll agree with the better running part. Seemed he was starting to put it together when he got hurt. Doesn't matter, we lose regardless of what happens in this game. I do feel for Mickey a little bit, he's had some ****** things happen to his team since he took over. Today wasn't any different. It's all still on him.
Where is the idiot who claimed that Smothers would become a great quarterback at Nebraska? I haven't seen him post anything about Smothers lately, lol.
they ran triple option on half a dozen of his snaps
he handed off 100% of the time
not sure if that was the read he got or if it was called
it's not a secret smothers' only hope at gaining one single inch is with his legs - opposing teams know this, too
Not surprising as our coaching staff refuses to adjust the playcalling to fit Logan's abilities.
What Husker quarterback has been any good in the last 20 years (I think this now excludes Crouch). The first Martinez before he hurt his toe or his foot? Joe Ganz? Why is it so hard to get a good Qb into Lincoln? Purdy is terrible and Smothers is not any better. However, I would think Whipple would have some plays better suited for Smothers. I give our Defense a B and our offense a F. # 15 on defense is growing into a pretty good LB,
He could have been in TOās offense. Not so much in the pro style offense Whip is running.
I will say this about Smothers. I think he would give up his right arm not to lose a ball (I thought the bad snaps went away with Jurgens) whereas Purdy looks like he could lose the ball on every play.
This. Purdy sucks *** too. Try something different what do they have to lose? Games? Oh wait can't score as it is
******* Bill Callahan against USC that year throwing in the towel before the game starts.
Sad.
do you not recall his only start, wherein he fumbled during as critical a moment as he's ever played in?
to boot, I believe our own guy caused it
Zac Taylor was the BG12 offensive POY in 2006, but agree it's been a rough ride at Qb for a long time

He was on the sideline today watching the game. Too bad he saw such a **** show on the part of the quarterbacks.
neither QB got much help from his pass catchers today
always compounds things
Palmer 2 weeks in a row looking pretty disinterested (concerning)

Maybe it's because NU's offensive schemes have become too centered on the QB. That position takes a hell of a beating these days. Years ago, we recruited QB's that were physically more like running backs. They were tough, they were great runners, and they were average (at best) passers. Now, we expect them to throw flairs and flies on target, and scramble and run for the first down when necessary, and learn the intricacies of option football. They take a beating; when was the last time we had a QB last all season? (Aside from AM, and he played hurt most of the time.)
BS. Zac Taylor was a warrior and quite frankly gets **** on because he played under Callahan....
That was Purdy's best game. I hope his leg will be okay. Any word on the severity of his injury?
Smothers was playing hurt
Which is probably why Purdy got the start and no designed runs were called
Nobody left behind him on the depth chart
