Ryker Fyfe Starting QB for Nebraska?

[Brasky]

Matt Davison went on BTN the other day saying Fyfe has a stranglehold on the 2 spot and is pushing Tommy Hard.

Is this good or bad news? Let's be real, we're probably gonna need a second signal caller this year at some point. It doesn't seem like a big deal right now, but to think about Ryker Fyfe being in control of our offense in October or November is kind of crazy.

I'll take Davison's word for it because he's very connected with the program, but Stanton getting beat out by Fyfe is never something I never saw coming and from what he's saying it sounds like Fyfe is knocking on the door of the starting spot.

To me, this is possibly Beck getting pass horny again. Longing for the 2007 Kansas days.

The distance from #1 and #2 is smaller than the distance between #2 and #3.

Tommy is the starting QB though. Only way Fyfe starts is if there is an injury to Tommy.

 

[Brasky]

I agree. That's what I'm saying though. It's crazy to think we're one snap away from Ryker Fyfe being the starter.

Rykers got a bretty good arm

Davison loves Ryker... but he's a bit off here from what i've heard. It's Tommy and then everyone else. Sounds like Johnny has been making a bit of push lately. If Tommy went down I think Ryker would spell him for the rest of the game, but Johnny would take over the next week if it were a long term injury. Tommy doesn't get injured and Ryker and Johnny rarely see the field... if ever.

It's not like it would be the first time an unheralded kid from nowhere/walk-on made it in the big time. Sometimes a kid is a late bloomer. I don't care who is starting, as long as he is the best chance for posting the win.

Ryker seemed to have a good grasp and command of the offense during the Spring game. I thought Fyfe was one of the biggest surprises because of it... Dude straight up had more than one bullet...

This is obviously the most reasonable/rational scenario, but I thought I'd throw out some controversy to get some discussion going.

I would've liked to have heard how TA was The Man in fall camp, clearly had it locked down.

Tommy is the guaranteed starter.

If we go off and get beat by Fresno or something like that, things will get interesting real quick.

As long as we're winning, though, Bo isn't going to change it up.

The first thing that came to my mind when I heard Matt say that was "Bo told him to say that."

Bo hates it when we think we know who the starter is going to be.

I mean if Tommy has a clear lead and Bo is putting out contrary info under the table to the likes of Matt Davison, then we've been seriously underestimating the guy.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Bo and Matt hang out on the daily. They golf all the time, work out together, eat together, go to each other's houses......weird stuff.

But the fact is, Bo just hates when we all know what the hell is going on. I don't buy anything I hear in the preseason from anyone associated with the program.

This is about managing the offense.

-------
Right now the only way Fyfe starts is if TA hasn't improved as much as what the papers say. Especially if he keeps fumbling.

IMO the best offense has enough passing to keep a defense on it's toes so they don't know what the offense is going to do next. We don't really have that. If this means we pass a bit more so be it. When an offense has consistency from the running and passing game the defense doesn't know whether to shit or go blind.

I thought Stanton was practicing with the 2's this week.

TA is the starter. I think #2 is a competition.

Full disclosure, I want to see Stanton play.

According to Bo, Ryker and Johnny have switched on and off at the 2 spot all of fall camp.

I have been hearing that it is Tommy and then everyone else for a little over a week now.

I think if Tommy gets injured (heaven forbid) then it would be a rotation between Stanton and Fyfe like we saw with Kellogg and Tommy last year.
