Agreed. I think they will. Or they should. So many people here talking as if it’s either/or but I think it’s both. If he wants to stay and compete for the QB job, let him. It doesn’t hurt to have him as a backup and although most of us think he’s never going to be a high level QB, he may prove is wrong over time. In the meantime, have a package of plays for him to help the team and to give him some game day action. Hell, let him run some wildcat at times and save AM’s body a bit. Win-win.
The only thing I wouldn’t tolerate is if he’s not all N. If he doesn’t like his role on the team and he’s not going to be a team player, then he needs to go elsewhere. There’s no room for that in the program. We’ve already tried accommodating other players and we know how that turns out. This is the Husker football team, not the McCaffrey football team. I want him here, but he’s got to be all N.
