Can Jake convince Sip and listeners again that the Illinois game is the most important game of the year?

June 15, 2021 by Jake Sorensen Leave a Comment

-Sip has said it’s crazy to think that the first game could be the most important, but Jake stands by it. It’s the only game that people think the O/U win total could really be changed the most for the season

-Most might say that Wisconsin or Iowa are the most important…does anyone stand with Jake?

Nebraska gets their 2022 QB commitment in Richard Torres…are we seeing a shift in philosophy of the future at that position in Lincoln?

June 15, 2021 by Jake Sorensen Leave a Comment

-The first QBs that were recruited by Scott Frost and Mario Verduzco were pure dual-threat QBs with very strong running ability (Martinez, Vedral, Smothers)

-Add Heinrich Haarberg to the mix (6’5” but athletic) and Torres (6’6” and capable but not as athletic)…are we seeing a shift in mindset? If so, what is that mindset? Is a running QB as important now as it seemed to be earlier on?
