I believe we are too stubborn to switch to LS and will play CP until he throws 2 picks.

He is the better QB of the two. Logan can atleast use his speed in certain situations. Don't think it will really matter this week but praying for the upset. GBR

We need a change up. Running options, screens and misdirection. That's Logan.

I would fire Whipple if the starting QB today doesn't go to Logan. Oh heck, I'd fire Whipple anyway.

He has stuck it out for three seasons and has true game experience, plus he is a better runner with knowledge of running a true option play.....more accurate thrower as well...

I thought his performance last year vs Iowa was very impressive. Purdy seems overwhelmed at times and makes bad decisions.

Logan is definitely our best option, but it’s gonna be embarrassing no matter who plays, but Logan is better

Chubba is an interception machine. Smothers has generally played well when given the opportunity--like last year against Iowa.

It is in the passing game but has regressed in the running game. If NU can't run the ball effectively we may not win again, if they can, we got a chance in all of them. And quit saying all except Michigan, they are beatable if an explosive passing attack can also run well!

Lacks energy and conditioning. Poor blocking assignments.

Still no run game, little short game passing, not using Vokelek and Rhamir enough and so on and so forth, sad and contintually sadder state of affairs

I'm torn on this question, but ultimately I voted no. Every successful offense needs explosive "chunk" plays in the passing game like NU got last week. However, a successful offense can't be totally one dimensional like the Huskers were last week. The leading rusher can't have 1 carry for 60 yds.

Averaging around 29 points per game on offense, and averaging 31 points per game on defense. I'd say they are pretty balanced. I am disappointed as a 70 year fan that those are the numbers. So, no. They aren't showing me much.

IMO, a player an offense can "ride" is dependable, gets tough yards and doesn't fumble. Grant has 144 attempts, 0 fumbles. Like many between the tackles RBs, he seems to get better with more carries. The two games he's gotten 20+ carries he's thrived.

He is a step up from any other back, which is Yant now that the others are hurt.

No one can do that. It's a team sport.

No single player wins games. That said, some players do dominate in the games, offense and defense. But it is the "team" effort that wins. One player can't do it all.
