TSN Today analyst throws support for Lee
Also from TSN Today, college football analyst Matt Hayes writes that he believes quarterback Patrick Witt’s departure will have “very little” impact on Nebraska’s football program.
“Witt likely saw where this offense is headed and realized he wasn’t part of the plans,” Hayes wrote. “The Huskers want to use more of a run game with the quarterback and Witt is more of a traditional pro-style quarterback. The positive reverb from Witt’s departure: incoming freshman Cody Green will likely get more reps with the No. 1 offense.”
Hayes is also bullish on the talents of quarterback Zac Lee, who now might look to be the front-runner heading into spring practice, noting that Lee beat out Jeremiah Masoli in 2006 for the starting job at City College of San Francisco.
“Masoli blossomed late last year at Oregon, and will be one of the nation’s top players next fall,” Hayes wrote. “This tells us, at the very least, Lee has some ability.”
