Will the Huskers break any season passing records this year?

Zac Taylor was a tough guy that got banged around quite a bit, but describing him as someone who could "run pretty well" is quite the stretch. He had -73 yards rushing in two seasons.
Maybe you meant Zac Lee?
@WestTexasHusker, can you weigh in on this?
A couple days ago, Coach Beckton said that he is about 95%. I think he had a bad ankle injury as a HS senior.
Yes, I may be thinking more about his toughness and willingness to run rather than his ability to run.
Remarkably, as funky as Taylor Martinez's throwing motion was, he had a 59.8% career completion percentage and he could definitely run. I am quite sure that his career 59.8% is better than running QBs like TF, TG, SF and EC. I think his career passing yards are at or near the top for NU QBs.

Nobody was impressed with Taylor Martinez as a passer and yet he had a 62% completion percentage in 2012 and a 62.7% completion percentage in 2013. NU currently has 3 QBs who can pass much better than TM could. Therefore, IMHO, a 65% completion percentage seems very attainable this season.
Yes, NU has had very few QBs who could both run and pass effectively. A quick look:

I am tempering my enthusiasm until I see something from our offensive line. They will be responsible for much of our offensive efficiency this year.
Agreed. No matter how slick the the runner or passer...if he is running for his life the completion percentage won't be admirable. Quick passes (that are also accurate) may be very important early on in the new offense. That may not favor the best runner against stiff defenses.
Yup .I loved Zac Taylor what a warrior but he had cement feet when he tried to run
He made glaciers look fast.
Not sure about passing records, but I hope Stanley hits 1K receiving yards. That's a bridge that hasn't been crossed yet.
No records passing...receiving? That's another matter.
Two things could stop this. Obviously an injury but.......he's going to get a lot of defensive attention early. With our seemingly ability to distribute to so many targets and the depth we have......distribution to him could be limited.
Great stats, and I agree with you: other than straight passing percentage and career yards, Quarterbacks whose last name begins with "G" dominate the record books. Just sayin.

I said 60-65% I think short controlled passing will lead to high completions.
There he is!
