Armstrong Leading the QB Race

Fyfe looked good in the Spring Game, and frankly I couldn't care less if he beats out a four-star athlete from California or even if he beats Tommy and takes the #1 spot. If he's our best quarterback, #1 recruit in the nation or unheralded walk-on, put him under behind center & let's go.

It's possible to miss a guy in recruiting. It's possible all the lights just came on for Fyfe and he's the second coming of Vince Ferragamo today. If we win games with him starting, who cares?

EDIT - Scottie Pippen wasn't offered a single scholarship out of high school, joined some po-dunk college as a walk-on, and turned into one of the 50 greatest NBA players of all time.

The light turns on at different times for different people. Let the starter be the starter regardless of stars.

c'mon knapp we're almost always in shotgun these days.

I don't get the issue with Fyfe sitting at #2 either. He's been in the program a year longer anyway. Now if Stanton is still #3 in his fourth year or something like that, I can see people asking, "What happened, he was highly recruited?" But yeah, we're not anywhere close to that.

LOL...My bad. Especially since I live west of GI.

My comment was meant as the view point of someone from Lincoln or Omaha.

Anyone who lives west of Lincoln is a Western Nebraska Hick!!!

Nick Gregath@NickESPN1480 · Ryker CANNOT run the option game.At all. Johnny has the most potential out of the 3 for a complete game BUT he is very inconsistent #Huskers

Nick Gregath@NickESPN1480 ·
As numerous media members agree'd with me today at practice…IF Ryker Fyfe wins this starting spot..you remove the option game from the book

I don't listen to 1480 at all so I don't know if this guy is just a toolbag or is a worthwhile host so take his assessment at your own risk.

First off, the news that Fyfe is #2 isn't news at all. By all accounts that's been the case since at least spring ball.

B. There's no QB controversy. Armstrong is your starter.

3rdly, we'll probably end up using all three guys at some point in the season, and people will try really hard to argue Fyfe and/or Stanton are no good when they struggle a bit.

Possible we use Stanton like OU used Bell before he became the starter? i.e. jumbo package

He's third string. Why don't we work on developing our sophomore starting QB, and maybe get his backup, Ryker Fyfe, a few reps in mop up duty as well. Like most places do. Why would we steal reps from a sophomore starter, and his zero experience backup, to create a special jumbo package for the third string QB? I just don't get t.

Creating a jumbo package would make sense if Stanton is Bell's size, but he's not.

So we can be more multiple.
