Former Husker/Beaver QB Tristan Gebbia transfers to Ohio St.

[wcbsas]

My brother read some article stating he wants to get into coaching and he isn't expecting to get much if any playing time.

TG is really smart to do this if he’s looking to get into coaching.

First thing I wondered it 'Did they give him a scholly?'

Second thing was 'Day is screwing the pooch if they've neglected the QB room to that level'

Nothing against Gebbia, but if you're not able to be a full time starter at the little OSU, uhhhhhhhh.

Hard to get guys when your constantly bringing in the #1 or #2 rated high school QB, who have to play 3 years before leaving to the NFL.

Hard to keep guys and have a full room, but they seem to have done OK.

Wouldn’t a really good walk on kid from Ohio serve the same purpose?

Hard to find kids with P5 starting experience, 6 years of college experience, 2 different P5 programs, multiple different OCs/QBs and offensive systems … he’s a bit of a unicorn that really good walk-ons don’t measure up to … and he’s only a one year commitment.

7 years. Has he no other plans or desires for his life?

Wow!! 7 years if college down the drain.

Again, Gebbia was the full-time starter -- until injury sidelined him for over a year-and-a-half. Pretty hard to get your job back with that much time lost -- and a Beavers team that played well regardless.

I don't expect him to start and may not even play at all for Ohio State. I have to assume Ryan Day knows what he's doing. He's likely wanting to add Gebbia for his maturity, with the other QBs on the roster all freshmen or sophomores -- and no one with more than 20 pass attempts on his career.

That makes sense. Wonder if Gebbia is knowledgeable enough to be an unofficial coaching assistant? If so, not a bad use of a scholly.

I wonder how many on here get that reference?

Also known as the "Reverse Burrow".

Dagummit you beat me to it!

I get it, but seems you could get similar talent (minus the experience) from a kid who'd likely stick and give you 3 or 4.

Good for him.

Lol, it would be the most Nebraska thing ever (of recent lore) that Gebbia transfers there, wins starting spot, Heisman, and leads them to the playoffs.

I will throw up in my mouth if that happens.

I suspect Ryan Day doesn’t want a 3 or 4 year walk-on kid. They (tOSU) knows they can get a CJ Stroud kind of kid whenever they want. Very few Raoila’s walk away.

One of those kind of guys plus maybe another in the wings is enough for their playing time requirements. Beyond that they probably want roster flexibility.

Remember they had Joe Burrow who left because he was going to be behind Haskins. Plus with the portal and NIL player movement is at an all-time high.

Maybe Day seeing what he has, and if not good enough will be gone by fall

Maybe Day wants him on the OSU roster so he didn’t possibly join another conference team.

 

[Huskerthom]

Says who?

Dean Wermer

Hmmm NAH

TG isn't THAT good, and if he's playing significant meaningful snaps for tOSU then they're not in the conference/national title discussion.

Or wants a ring before he's done.

Not sure why he's getting crapped on so hard by husker fans, honestly.

Seriously, who cares?
