GBR!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the spy.

Come on we all know Bo said back in 03 that he had never heard of a defense using a spy. I will have to search for the quote though.

For what it's worth this is not good news for the Blackshirts. This kid is the type of kid that we have had trouble with since 02.

When I was in high school, we tried to use a spy against certain teams. The problem with using a spy is the fact that you just lost your best defensive player. Football is a team sport, and by having a spy you try to make it one on one. We never won a single game we used a spy because the best defender was basically out there doing nothing but trailing around one player while the opposing offense simply went to their #2 or #3 offensive weapon crushing us.

Nebraska has always had trouble with the mobile QB's, but then again I think most teams do. We had trouble with them long before 02. Wasn't it Corby Jones at Mizzou that gave us fits? Brown for Texas back in 1996 gave us fits. Charlie Ward gave us fits in 1993. Darian Hagan gave us fits back in the early 90's. Bishop gave us fits all long before 02.

 
Glennon and Taylor have their abilities/skills reversed. Didn't know how else to word that, but what I mean is, Glennon is a passer (supposed to be) and isn't very mobile, while Taylor is mobile as hell, but his passing is shaky. I don't know much about either, so don't quote me or hold me to anything that I just said :P

 
Come this Saturday we'll see how good Tyrod Taylor is against Furman........... :wtf what college is this :dunno I've never heard of this college.

 
Glennon started the first two games last year (ECU and LSU). Taylor was planned for a redshirt year as a true frosh who just turned 18 a couple weeks earlier. He was pressed into duty at LSU in the 2nd qtr. He showed a spark or two during the rest of the game and proceeded to start (and get almost all of the snaps) for the next 5 games til he got hurt. He returned after missing a couple of games and shared snaps with Glennon the rest of the year. Glennon started all of these games and got about 3/4 of the snaps while playing quite well. Both QBs faltered in the Orange Bowl.

While Glennon is probably better in the passing game, Taylor is good with his throws and very accurate on deep balls. Glennon's advantage in the passing game is due to his better understanding of the offense and ability to read defenses. Not surprising since he's a R-Senior. Taylor has much better natural talent throwing the ball. Running ability is not even a comparison between the two. Taylor is a playmaker! We'll see how he has developed since last year.

BTW, my tickets for this game arrived today. I'll be making the trip to Lincoln (from Virginia) with my wife and another couple. We're arriving Thursday and staying til Monday. Will be staying at the Husker Marriott. Can't wait to soak up all the Nebraska tradition. Of course, I'm hoping for a little vengeance for the beating my Hokies took from Big Red in the 1996 season Orange Bowl. I'm sure it will be a great trip no matter the outcome.

:woo Cool man! I am sure you will have a good time.

 
If he was really going to be that much better and tougher to stop than Glennon they would have just started him in the first place. Look at last year with us. If the coaches say they have a toss-up at QB, they probably do.

So either way we face the same degree of difficulty at QB, probably.
