TA & POB

[Cdog923]

Just so I'm clear, Tanner Lee can only play one season (2017), right? He redshirted in 2013, played in 14 and 15, is sitting in 16...so you get 5 to play 4, unless he gets a waiver (that would seem unlikely to me from my experience), he can only play one season for the Huskers.

He would be draft eligible, if he chooses to go that route, but I can't imagine his stock could be any lower having not played for a season.

Sounds like he'll play for one year, POB will back him up next year, then POB will have up to 3 years to lead the team.

Am I missing anything on this?

Lee petitioned the NCAA for an extra year of eligibility and he actually received it. He has 2 seasons of eligibility left (2017 and 2018).

From what I heard, POB was pretty pissed off after Lee was given that extra year in 2018, and POB was upset that the coaching staff was pushing so hard for Lee to get that year of eligibility.

I know nothing of POB personally, but this is a normal human reaction, particularly at his age. I would not be surprised if Lee wins the job next year, that POB moves on (particularly if he plays this year and still has a RS).

POB is running with the scout team, Fyfe is running with the ones and twos. Fyfe will play if TA is out, and POB will become the designated backup for Fyfe. There is no scenario in which we burn his redshirt unless BOTH TA and Fyfe are hurt.

At this point, I think they're all in for protecting POB's redshirt, and Darlington would take snaps if something happened to Fyfe.

That is not what Riley has stated.

Uh.....

Coach Mike Riley said on Monday he’d know more later in the week and most likely have a firm answer on Armstrong’s availability on Thursday. Armstrong, dressed in team leisure gear, stood with offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf at practice while other quarterbacks worked drills.

In his absence, backup quarterback Ryker Fyfe got starter’s snaps Tuesday. Fyfe’s backup for the game is Zack Darlington, a quarterback-turned-wideout who is NU’s holder and will serve as an emergency signal caller for the Huskers so Nebraska can preserve the redshirt of true freshman Patrick O’Brien.
