Brian Christopherson@HuskerExtraBC Statement from Rick Darlington about #Husker QB commit Zack Darlington after Saturday's concussion... orlandosentinel.com/sports/highsch…

Second concussion in two months for Zach. Not good for a young brain...

I spoke with Bo Pelini, the head football coach at the University of Nebraska [on Monday] morning. He told me that if Zack plays again this year, if he doesn't play this year or if he never plays football again, they want him as a Cornhusker.
This type of integrity and loyalty is why Zack chose Nebraska as his college destination, and we are very thankful to coach Pelini and his staff for their support of my son, not just as a football player but as a young man.
This is a difficult time for Zack and our family. Many tears have been shed and many prayers said, not only for healing, but for wisdom and comfort. Zack has been our emotional and spiritual leader, both on and off the field.
Now God has a new role for him, and although it is hard to not be out there running the Blue Darter offense, he has embraced his new role as a motivator, mentor and coach as he heals and gets ready for the future.

Dan Hoppen ‏<S>@</S>danhoppen Secondary coach Terry Joseph said the starters at safety will likely be decided Wednesday. I'd be surprised if it's not Cooper/H. Jackson.

<S>Dan Hoppen ‏<S>@</S>danhoppen @</S>PSchotte5 I agree, but based on what the coaches have said, I think they like Harvey's experience vs. Charles' athleticism at this point.

Steven M. Sipple @HuskerExtraSip OK, more: Wyoming has 2 players from Canada, 1 from Sweden, and, yes, 1 from Nebraska. Good job by @LJSSportsWagner..tinyurl.com/mt2e8ys

Steven M. Sipple @HuskerExtraSip Haven't heard much about Drake Martinez. Here's why: "He hurt his ankle the 1st week of practice so he hasn't scrimmaged yet," Taylor said.

Steven M. Sipple @HuskerExtraSip Rich Fisher's message to his receivers is excellent: You’re in complete control of your attitude and effort. #Huskers

Steven M. Sipple @HuskerExtraSip Remember when folks questioned Bo Pelini for hiring Rich Fisher? Not now ... : bit.ly/1dLEAO7 via @JournalStarNews
