I don't blame Gebbia.

Wasn't recruited to this system and is good enough to play elsewhere.  Yup, timing sucks, but that's on Frost and staff.

Should have had Vedral's waiver in place long ago.  And expected this could happen.

They have made two runs at getting Vedral his waiver already (and are going to try again, even though its basically pointless) so IDK how they can be blamed there.

Up until yesterday, every indication from Gebbia was that he was committed to playing for NU no matter what. He is still saying that to his teammates in fact, but blaming his departure on a lack of communication about the depth chart decision on Frost...even though he hadn't enrolled in classes and had his bailout plan ready to go at a moments' notice.

I don't blame him for moving on, at all. How he chose to go about it though, is shitty IMO.

I agree he talked a big game about being a Husker until he wasn't

part of the competition of being a team leader and having the team buy into him to win the job, I suppose

can't blame him for pulling all stops to try to win the job

the two runs at Vedral's waiver seem odd to me, but I'm no expert on waivers.  It would seem you either get the waiver or you don't, but this is the NCAA they are dealing with

just seems that there was always a chance that Gebbia might bolt if he lost the #1 spot, I thought it could happen.  Perhaps Gebbia had them all fooled.  Or perhaps Gebbia even fooled himself into thinking he would stay no matter what until he was slapped with #2?

who knows?  It's over.  Gotta pray not only does Martinez stay healthy, but that he's really THE guy.

so UNL has one QB on scholarship heading into this season.   Since 2012, they've recruited 11 QB's and 6 has transferred.   Painfully obvious what has to get better.

We played two of those years with a QB that SHOULD have transferred, and been replaced by QBs 12 & 13, recruited to fill his spot.

since 2012, 3 different staffs, 3 different offenses
coaching staffs need to get better so they can stay in town more than a few season
maybe ADs need to get better at hiring coaches?

Good stuff.  And yes, Drake Martinez sucked.  The only time I noticed him during his one year at MSU was when he took penalties, including one that cost them a game at Indiana.  2016 was a mess, but I still wonder HOW bad it would have gotten without that.  They'd be 3-1 with road win at Notre Dame and Indiana, with a forgivable home loss to Wisconsin.  Not that they were title contenders, but things really snowballed after they blew that lead in Bloomington, and you wonder if they otherwise had 6-6 or 7-5 in them, not 3-9.

MSU was absolutely 6-6/7-5 talented that year. It wasn't physical; it was how bad timing affected the mental.

Colorado is led by returning quarterback Steven Montez, who completed 22-of-25 passes for 338 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in the win over the Rams. On the day, Montez had two passes dropped, and another under-thrown for an interception. Montez also added a 38-yard touchdown run in the first half as well. He will represent a big challenge for Nebraska’s defense. Wide receiver Laviska Shenault led Colorado in receiving with 11 catches for 211 yards and a touchdown.

For UNL to win, they'll have to score a lot of points.  I don't think they have the talent or system down to slow down Colorado.   I was impressed with CU this past weekend.

Indeed. Csu has been Swiss cheese, but cu has good skill position material.

a handful of defensive turnovers would help
