Feel like Noa has a WR spot locked, just seems like one safety spot, Center and maybe a WR spot are up in the air (at most)

Will be shocked if Kade Warner is still a starting WR after all the talent we’ve added in the offseason to that position.

He did it all and minus a really bad call, he might have earned a national championship.

It was a great call. The reciever dropped it, although it could've been a better throw, and the reciever was open. It was an execution failure not a bad play call.

Is this a serious poll? It’s not even debatable. Turner Gill lost 2 games by a total of 4 points.

Both were very good. The screw job at Penn State cost us two national championships. If we were n/c in 1982, we do not play Miami, in Miami. Additionally, having Gill play freshman football was stupid

Taylor was awesome and a great fit for the option game but I have to go with Gill. I think the better Monday morning QB question would be Frazier, Gill, Crouch or Frost.

Turner was the heart and soul of his teams. He was looked upon for leadership by the rest of his teammates. Remember, he was one completion away from winning a National Championship.

No. We beat Penn State and we would have been able to tell Miami to pound sand. Miami was the only team that could have beaten us. Gill should never have played Freshman football. It cost him a year.

Part of the 82 & 83 scoring explosion. Lead a 2nd half comeback in the national championship game falling only inches short. Robbed at Happy Valley in 82. Did Steve ever beat Oklahoma?

Yes. In 1988, 7-3 in Norman. It poured rain the whole game.

Stand corrected. Steve beat Oklahoma in Norman his Sr. year.

Turner was the first real option QB in the Osborne era. He took over as a soph QB in a time of trouble (NU record) and provided the athleticism, QB option capabilities, and strong overall leadership.

I know we need speed to win but I'm old school and still think our game needs to win in the trenches. Then open it up with speed.

I think with physicality the speed comes, actually. These days, you recruit speed (which is what the staff seems to be doing) then build them up. Make them physical to go along with that speed.

Toughness really shows up late in the game. The tougher team can wear down the opposition and dominate late.

Speed is important but not as much as good physical offensive and defensive lines. That's where the games are won and lost

Big 10 teams like Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Iowa have physically pushed the Huskers around on both sides of the ball. It is time to return to Husker dominance on the line of scrimmage!!!!
