Casey Thompson Interview
- Thread starter SOHusker11
- Start date
Interesting. When I listened to it, I understood it to mean they laid out the plan up front that they were recruiting 2 QBs all along. So he wasn’t surprised when he committed that they were still after Chubba.
What’s hard to understand and what big formula your referring too..Is it you don’t want him to be running any option plays?
No question the staff laying out a plan for this offense to be as diverse as they would like it to be..
I heard that "Whipple is going to make me in to an All American and I'm going to get paid in a little over a year by the NFL".
That is how I interpreted the conversation too..
Both Thompson and Purdy must have like what Whipple and Frost had planned out for them and they both were told we’re going after two portal QB obviously because of very little starting experience already on the team..

Makes me wonder why he is working out in Miami and not throwing to teammates in Lincoln..
I mean, if you're going to post a video of yourself working out with a multiple camera crew and all, why do it in Miami?
What gives you the idea it’s a multiple camera crew and not one buddy with a phone?
that can't be, i heard so much about what a great leader he was, and how much he was like Frost.
He flew some Texas starting WRs down there last summer to work with Stefon Diggs and Jarvis Landry. Not sure if any of his current teammates are down there or not.
Well, I’d like to think that every guy we recruit is told about our plan, or design, for them. It’s up to the player to come in and perform in practice to a point whereSaid plan can be implemented.
Speaking of Casey's dad, how many here are old enough to remember when he played quarterback against Nebraska in 1987?
Yes. Its hard to believe that was so long ago, and a bit strange to have the son of one of the key villains from the OU-NU rivalry playing QB for the Huskers. That guy had some wheels. Would have liked to have seen a foot race between him, Crouch and Michael Vick - 3 of the fastest college QBs I can remember.
Me of course.. Which was a very disappointing loss and their offense was better than ours..
Both had outstanding defense personnel..
Another quirk about this is that Charles Thompson quarterbacked his OU teams to victories against the two schools that his son played for, Texas and Nebraska.

switzer asked if thompson could do a back flip, thompson said he never did one before, but then did one right then, landed on both feet..switzer was impressed, if I remember right it was before the NU game and switzer was trying to get him pumped up mentally.
