Who will start as qb this year?
- Thread starter NorthwoodHusker
- Start date
Now add in what DR brings that very few ever have, very accurate deep throws.
A variable will be.....fast blinker/slow blinker, and work ethic to study the playbook.
DR has been a qb for four years I believe. Three of those have been at three different schools and three different offenses.
I think DR starts, and his early career success will depend a lot on if the RBs and offensive line can make the running game work where the running game doesn’t rely on the QB to make the runs.
We have what looks to be a solid RB room and we have a nice looking new IOL from Florida, a lot of returning lineman with many starts, and a young group with another year of development in the pipeline behind them. If we can make this work, our new and returning WR and TEs should be open and we have a QB that can hit him if we can give him a few seconds in the pocket unmolested. Again, a respectable and productive running game should make this possible.

Bad part is, we really have no idea how we want it to look. The pass game we know will look way different, but so will the run game by default as you stated, but also because we were down to one rb.
A lot to learn about this team this year, and at qb and whats expected.

The mystery is part of the fun of being a Husker fan. Until we start winning I guess is the most fun we can have….
Here what I believe. We go bowling with an improved rb room, wr room, TE room and an improved HH.
I don't think he can hold DR off, improved or not, so I believe we will be winning one way or another.
Is he going to catch his own passes?
NW mentions DR playing and learning 3 diff offenses in 3 years, and still being as high ranked as he is without the year over year continuity of the same offense.... thats remarkable actually for him to learn all that data in short amount of times. Its gonna payoff for us. Spring game cant get here soon enuf.
HH is yesterday. No one on last years roster could QB. Reset on QB this year from a athlete and coach standpoint. If HH is the best we aren't in a good spot.
Don’t forget HH is still 6’5” 230 and runs a 4.4.
I hope they are as wise as the most recent national champs and give him an honest power running package every game as a wildcat+ backup. When fresh, he’s a legit weapon in the run game. 5-7 plays wouldn’t hurt anything and force the opponent to scout for more.

I loved/hated the way minny used it a few years back. Situational football at its best.
DR will start barring freak injury in Spring/Fall camps. HH backs him up and DK will see time in 4 games.
I believe he is. From what I understand, he is that good. At least the press clipping I read made him sound that good. You know, the one where he gave an interview. He's on track to outdo Eric Crouch. It'll be fun to watch.
