Speaker 1 (00:00):
Onward. Now to sports Brief, the Husker Buzz edition with
Sean Callahan, Liven Lincoln Rosie.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right, Seano, let's clarify what happened with the Mac
Markway the tight end transfer from LSU. He did injure
his knee, but it's really an aggravation of a previous
knee injury. Apparently had a quack do the procedure down
in Louisiana and batched it and it wasn't repaired properly,
so it was a re injury of an existing injury.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Correct Well, he injured it actually in Lincoln last year
on his first week, so he did all the surgeries
here last year. When he showed up to Nebraska last year,
he practiced for a couple of days and then it happened.
The injury happened. And keep in mind, this is a
young man who suffered a significant injury just like this
in high school as well. So this will be I
(00:45):
believe number three for mac Markway as far as major
knees go. And yeah, your heart is breaks because it
just things didn't repair properly. And Dana Holgerson said he
was I watched him run around. He know that didn't
look right, and then then things obviously started swelling after
practice and and they realized that it wasn't a very
(01:06):
good situation when they had another look at what happened.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, they did an MRI and that's when they said
it's over for you for this year, Mac mark Way. So, uh,
that just means more opportunities for Heinrich Harberg, Luke Linnen, Myern, Carter.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Nelson, right, and and it's it kind of ramps up
the pressure on Harburg too. You know, they're gonna need him.
Theyre gonna need him to play a big role and improve.
They're gonna need Carter Nelson. He's never played tight end
in college. He was a receiver last year. He's never
really had a block in a line of scrimmage. He's
more of a split out guy. Luke Linn and Meyer
(01:42):
is going to have to be your primary kind of
true blocking tight end. But then Harburg and Nelson are
gonna have to do some of that too, Mark Way.
That's really what he was going to be. I mean,
he was going to be just a very good in
line tight end that they don't have a lot of those.
In terms of the size that he was going to
bring to the tape, so we'll see where those guys
go and how Dana Holverson adjust and date. It's not
(02:05):
making a big it's not a very big deal because
they like, I didn't know the guy. He played practice
free for one day, so they'll move on. I mean,
this is injuries happen in football, and you hope that
there's this is kind of one of the more significant
ones they see in camp.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, we're going to have to redo the practice fields
again because Matt Ruhle says the bad practice field's caused
forty nine knee injuries over the last two years. Well,
now we're two days in. Here's the first one, so
maybe we should go. We went from a I have
to go from Augusta National to Holmes Park. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Usually the second week at fall camp when you get
the season uting injury, but we're early this year.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's a bad sign.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, what are we going to do with the tight
ends in this offense? We brought in a whole bunch
of split receivers, quick receivers who go down the field
and stretch the field. What are they going to do
with these guys? If the idea is to get the
ball to the speedy guys on the edge.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Well, I I still think there's going to be a
role for them. And that's where Dana Holgerson really is elite.
I mean, he knows how to draw things up and
concepts up that get guys open. I mean, you saw
in the Bowl game how good Fiddoni looked. And you know,
guys like Fidoni had had big games. Lindon Meyer had
a nice game. So I do think Holgerson even Borcahire
(03:22):
late in the year when he was still here, in
those last few weeks started to become more of a factor.
So I do think there's a lot that Dana will do,
but just the improved play at wide receiver is going
to draw more attention. I mean, Dan Key is a
proven commodity that led Kentucky and receiving. Isaiah Hunter is
(03:42):
a proven commodity that was a leading receiver for cal
to Corey Barney, we know what he did last year.
Cortez Mills is going to be a factor. I mean,
so they in geni O and Bonner, I mean they
they've got a very deep group of guys at receiver.
I think that's gonna help everybody else out and it's
going to help running game out, it's going to help
the tight ends out, it's going to help dillan out
(04:03):
when teams are going to have to really focus on
some of these wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Let's visit a little bit about this NIL collective decision
that was brought down by the College Sports Commission. Yes,
did we have about a minute a half left, But
you might clarify Shana what it means. The new rules
say you can't have bogus payments for players. They have
to be for legitimate purposes. That hasn't changed. So what
really has changed, if anything?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Materially, I mean the biggest thing, and they're just trying
to crack down on the pay for play in IL.
NIL was really not in IL after about a couple
months when it launched and it became collectives, you know,
paying athletes for very little fulfillment and endorsement. So I
think we all thought in IL was going to be Oh,
she's going to do a commercial for high ve Year
(04:49):
or this big company, and that's the Caitlin Clarks in
the top branded athletes that are getting those deals. But
then people were using it is like, hey, yep, are
collective is going to give you this, and it was
essentially pay for play with very minimal work involved for
the money. And I think that's what they're trying to
crack down on that a deal has to pass through clearinghouse.
It has to be a legit deal that passes, you know,
(05:13):
market value. You can't say we're going to pay you
two hundred thousand dollars to autograph two footballs. Those are
the kind of things that you could have gotten away
with that before. Now you're not going to be able to.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You can still use the collectives, you don't have to
use an agency, but they still have to be for
legitimate and the actual quote was something that is sold
to the public.

and then a day off Sunday. We'll chat with you
