Does anyone know if we ever offered Burrow?

The dude seems to have some pretty good talent and a good team behind him. So I would guess no.

We looked at him when he indicated he was transferring from OSU but in the vetting process he indicated he didn't fear failure but that he did have a healthy respect for it and that was enough to send him packing

I think Joe's transfer to LSU was a best case scenario for everyone. Its unlikely he'd have the same success as a Husker with how poor our OLine has played. Our base would have been calling for the Redshirt Freshman, Martinez to save us by now.

Frost wanted to build the program from the ground up. Martinez gives us a shot at having a 4 year starter. Joe also now has a shot at a national title and will likely make millions next season.

The Nebraska coach that actually recruited him was.....Smilin’ Mike Riley.

Riley has little to do with his recruitment. Beck dropped the ball. Riley wasn’t hired until December of 2014. 6 months after Burrow committed to Ohio St

Beck completely blew him off---as in literally ignored him---then ironically "coached" him at Ohio St
