We'll try this again, this time hopefully without the character assassination of the surrounding cast.

Tyler Moore will take semester off and consider return to Nebraska or FSU and UF
Former Countryside offensive lineman Tyler Moore, who left Nebraska over the weekend where he was expected to be the starting left tackle, will take the fall semester off to reassess his college options, according to his father Brian.

Those options? Returning to Nebraska, or enrolling at FSU or Florida.

But he is not considering USF, according to Brian Moore.

"He is back home. He had some things he wasn't happy about at Nebraska, and he's going to come home to get his head straight,'' he said. "He'll take classes at St. Pete College, and then in January he'll make a decision.''

Brian Moore, a 1985 graduate of Nebraska who played tight end there, said his son will set up meetings with the coaches at FSU and Florida, and could also return to Nebraska. "He loved Nebraska, he still loves Nebraska,'' Moore said. "Even when we were driving home yesterday, we were driving by Gainesville and I said maybe you'll be wearing the blue and orange, but he said I'd rather wear red.''

Where in the world are you getting this?

I feel like this is probably the most positive development that could have come out of the whole thing. Cooler heads are prevailing, but the fix, if it's possible, will take time. Best of luck to Tyler.

As for what he was unhappy about, probably a mix of homesickness, his girlfriend, and whether Nebraska was a good football situation for him, in any order.

Something will have to change for him to come back, whether that's between his ears or in the culture here at Nebraska.

I'm not holding my breath.

 
I wish the kid the best of luck. Sounds like he has a lot of things going through his head. I know if it were me I'd have to be extremely unhappy to drop something that important in an instant.

 
This is a great way for Moore to handle this. Dont transfer without taking a semester to figure sh#t out.

It sounds to me like he fell out of love with football and wants to re-find that love.

Hats off to him for just taking a semester to figure sh#t out.

 
Time To turn our focus to the players that are here and are committed to busting their a$$ as part of the University of Nebraska football program! The players that are as we speak working hard to put together a great football season. Players that understand that making a commitment to play college athletics requires hard work, dedication and sacrifice for one another and ones university! We still have a roster full of kids who have bought in and are working their a$$ off to bring this team championships! We at Nebraska don't believe in giving away seasons because of youth or schedule or anything else that's put it front of us.

The start of every new season is another chance for us to win championships. As any true husker fan will attest, the new season brings hope for that next championship run. No matter what we may say or type, there is something in the heart of every fan that thinks this may be our year!

Wish Tyler the best in his future and thank him for his service. Now let's get back to supporting the kids on our team who are still working hard to make us proud! Time to get behind all of the players and coaches who put in so many hours to make the team better. It's time to prove why we are the best fans in college football! GBR!

 
Sounds like he’s not likely to return. Which is too bad. He had the potential to be one of the Husker greats.

I wonder if the real story will ever come out? If it’s because he had a problem with a coach, well, that doesn’t bode well for Tyler. Players can’t dictate who coaches the team. Not at any level, from Pop Warner to the NFL. If it's because of the girlfriend thing, well, that would just be sad.

i think this boils down to he was homesick and missed his girl, and like it was said in the other thread, it affected his focus on football and school work. sometimes we lose sight that the most important thing these kids are getting is an education, and if he was having trouble focusing on his education then he needed to leave and get his mind right.
