Maybe I am reaching here but it seems to me that NU's 12 preferred walkons compare very well to KSU's 13 two-star scholarship commits. You would have to give the edge to KSU but only a slight edge.

Lets compare...

NU's 12 Preferred Walk Ons had no other DI offers but they all had DII offers, most from very respected programs like NWMS and UNO.

8 of KSU's 13 two-star commits only had offers from KSU. Only three of KSU's 13 two-star commits had more than two offers.

Again I may be way off in comparing the two but it certainly seems like many of our preferred walkons could 'hang' with many, if not most, of KSU's two-star commits.

I wonder if the two teams were to play in the recruit bowl national championship who would win? 


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

Great, maybe in 2 or 3 years, Slashahan will only be losing 3 or 4 games a year at Cornhole State.

Damn, if 18 of both teams 22 starters get hurt, that would be a heck of a game.

Nebraska continues to improve. With an upgrade at QB in Keller, all of the other offensive skill players back, and improvement in the secondary, we should have a good season this fall. The schedule is tough, but I think a return to a BCS Bowl is not just possible, but likely.

I hope you realize that you just graduated the Big XII Offensive Player of the Year.  Let's not build up the expectations too high here.

Graduated a Big 12 Offensive player of the year and replace him with a Heisman candidate.  I love it!

It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Sad day for the Big 12 when mediocrity personified wins the Big 12 offensive player of the year.

Heisman candidate . . . Cornhole State fans are so funny.  Hey, if the kid can sit out a year, and then go out and win the Heisman in REAL games in an entirely new offense, all the power to ya.  The rest of the world says it ain't happening.

...or is it with a guy who couldn't start for his previous team so he transferred?

According to several of the defensive players, Keller regularly torched them in practice. The consensus among the team was that Keller was substantially better than Taylor last season, and probably would have started if eligible.

So we have just about everybody back on offense, and a considerable upgrade at QB. It should be fun to watch.

Our worst year was when we had Joe Dailey as our QB.  Joe Dailey's career stats:

52.5% completion
24 TDs
29 INTs

interception thrown every 17.4 attempts

the season he started here at NU he threw 19 INTs, the most in the country.

Does that fall on Callahan?

Yes. It's his job to bring in a QB. That is part of coaching.

in his first full recruiting year, he recruited a JC kid that ended up being the Big XII Offensive POTY.  How's that?  Is that ok with you or also unacceptable?

I view, and most rational people do, Joe Dailey as an outlier.

This is the same Keller that had 5 int's against USC when ASU played them?

Yeah, we want Sam Keller there..

Do you think the defense (including 45 points given up to a 4-7 KSU team) was an issue as well?

In that game, ASU was hopelessly overmatched, losing badly, and Keller had to force the ball. He's an amazing talent, considered a top prospect by the pro scouts, and all of the news coming from practices indicates that he's picked up the offense very quickly.

He'll be even better next year than Taylor was this year. That's almost a certainty.

You can spin it however you want. I'd rather have Keller next year than "Soul Glo."

No it's not a certainty at all.   Wanting a player who's been out for over a year and half, susceptible to injury and you're telling me you want that kind of player who's never played a full season over a talent like Josh?  And you only get the guy for (maybe) a year?

OK.  Husker Logic isn't working very well.

Keller has played, and played well against top-flight competition. He's a legitimate pro prospect, who has spent the last year absorbing the offense. He has a cannon arm, can make all of he throws, and has proven in practices that he can run this offense smoothly, in fact even more smoothly than the reigning Big 12 Player of the Year.

Freeman showed some potential this past year. He looks like he'll end up being a good QB. it remains to be seen however if he'll develop into the kind of talent than Keller is.

If I had to choose between three years of Freeman and one year of Keller, I would lean toward Freeman, his character issues notwithstanding. But for next year, I'd rather have Sam Keller running my offense.

Now Husker fan is equating practice to game day?

Are you guys really reaching that low to say "Oh well, he plays well in practice.."

He's never played a complete season.. ever.. in college.  Now you're trying to tell me he's better than Taylor simply because your anemic secondary watched him throw great passes during practice?

I'm just amazed that 7 months from the start of fall practice, you're already trumpeting your Big 12 Championship on a QB has yet to prove himself in a gameday under Callahan, much less lead any team to a championship.

I applaud your efforts for propping up someone so much, you're willing to believe potential over results.

...his character issues notwithstanding.

Oh snap...a jab at Freeman for changing his choice of colleges. Good one.  :rolleyes:

Or are you referring to the fact that Mr. Keller exhibited some "character issues" by transferring tucking tail and running when things didn't go his way? RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! I will say at least Sammy first tried the "Crouch Plan" when things turned sour for him. It didn't work for him, so slinking away he went. Hey, maybe that's where he got the idea to transfer to NU? :thumbsup:

Clarify please.

And I see the "Husker-hype Machine" is in full swing. Accolades. Accolades. Best ever. Accolades.  :jerkoff: Trouble is, they all come from folks with just a smidge of bias.

Thunder anyone?  :lol:
