He is the quarterback all year... Dailey would really have to shine... Granted he did move up the chart this week to number 2... I still dont see him playing over Lord... The offense would have to continue to have horrible games. Though I do think Lord has areas to improve, between his experience and playmaking ability he is the only logical choice to start... Joe will have his chance to start next year... Stuntz will not be a serious threat to his job in my opinion... We will have to wait and see if D.T. McDowell is all he has been advertised to be... But D.T. will be in the same position as Joe this year since he will have no game experience... We should support Lord through the ups and downs... He may not be able to throw the best (I think his throwing will improve a good amount through the year) but his running can be breath taking at times... and if the O-line is as physical up front as they were in the OSU game... Then Lord will be enough for the team to have a solid year.
Lord is a sad a qb as I have ever seen here. Football is a team sport and when you have a qb who will not pitch the ball on the option unless its the second string running back is in. All the huskers can hope for is that they can attract another qb soon that has the ability to take that position.
