I googled him and the AI response is below. It sounds like he’s a more polished passer than runner. It says he’s more a pro style guy. Any of you recruiting guys care to weigh in? I hear people saying we will run more RPO and that he’s a runner. Is that true? I hear people questioning if he can make the throws. Maybe he can based on his ratings. I really don’t know, but I’m excited to see.

Raiola's "running through quicksand" prowess has probably distorted our views on how fast Lateef is. :Lol:

UCLA’s D in conference against the run is 13th while our’s is 14th!!!! In other words NOT VERY GOOD! Huskers should feed EJ the rock over and over until they prove they can stop our rushing attack. We should simplify the offense for TJ and make sure he protects the ball. It will be interesting to see how a very inexperienced young QB does Saturday night...... Be a great game to win.....

He's got a solid arm. He seems to rely on his legs more, helping the O line, much more mobile in the pocket than DR, though DR was working on it.
I havent seen him work his way through his progressions much which he still has to work out imo vs him escaping the pocket early.
Very solid QB.

I’m intrigued to see how he responds now knowing he’s the guy. He’s getting more reps and hopefully more coaching. I’m not sure the offense changes much with him in there. The biggest change might be more of a dependence on the running game. How much can EJ handle. Will any of the backups step up? We will find out Saturday.

Mozee can truck a little, this may help. He doesnt always give a clean hit, and he's learning to take what he can get.

Rhule says he loves this team because they support and stick together. It will be a good test to see if the team can rally around TJ Saturday night. He’s going to need the team's full support playing in an unfriendly venue making his first start for the Huskers. Hopefully the team will respond in a very positive manner.....

I hope he comes home and is blown away with all the Husker fans in the stadium.
