it appears UNL has a very good shot at an Ole Miss LB (Dixon) transfer.  He played as a true freshman last year in a backup role.  Was a 4 star out of HS in GA.

Considering Hurts' Alabama career is seemingly done, he'd be a pretty nice fit in Frost's offense.

Did you hack my phone ELA?   We were talking about that about an hour ago.

Let me just make sure MSU doesn't have Nebraska as a crossover opponent in 2019 or 2020 before I suggest it too loudly.

I'd take him... but I could see him at FSU or someplace outside the SEC in the south

seems that Frost likes to throw the ball quite a bit, Hurt doesn't seem to have the arm talent
but, I'd like to see more running and less passing, so I would welcome Hurt to the roster

I'd be interested to know what happened there. Was UNL unwilling to give up on its eligibility stuff, or what?

[FearlessF]

yup, seems odd

doubt we will ever know

too many years have passed

Former Ole Miss defensive back Breon Dixon announced on Twitter Sunday morning that he's transferring to Nebraska. Dixon, who was ranked the No. 18 prospect in Georgia in 2016 by ESPN Recruiting, will have to sit out one season under NCAA transfer rules, unless he successfully appeals for a waiver from the NCAA.

When OSU joined the Big Ten in 1913, a major sticking point was that the Conference only allowed a 7 game schedule. Four Conference games, three non-Conference games. 

They also had to terminate the Michigan series, due to some sorta league-wide scheduling boycott.

I have to think Mike Babcock has written about that.  I need to check that out.
