Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's get on to sports Brief now, the
Husker Buzz edition featuring Sean Callahan Live and Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Here's Jim Rose.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, Seana, the big question that everybody wants to
know is if Dylan Riyola is not upright the whole season,
what about the number two? We have a hot shot
recruit and a transfer from the nai level in here.
But if his blindside isn't protected by Elijah Pitchers preachers
sufficient that Ryola gets injured, who's number two? And how
(00:29):
do they look?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, I mean Jimmy Graham's dad would have the leg
up right. Now the Naia transfer has now been here
is to be a second season, and I mean he's
got the best feel and understanding of what they're doing.
And you know, he's playing a lot of football in
his career. But I think like long term projection, t J. Latife,
you know, is a talented young quarterback. He looked good
(00:53):
in the open practice Saturday. You could see the trajectory
that he was on. You know, Marcus Davila is the
other guy the do transfer, and just from my view,
he looked like he was the fourth person in that line.
But it's not a situation you hope you're in, you know,
And I think the drop off for a lot of
teams would be the same. I mean, it's rare to
(01:13):
have two good quarterbacks now, especially the cost of what
you have to pay a quarterback in nil and revshare
in today's world to pay a good quarterback, And then
if you're a good quarterback sitting out, it's pretty rare
to stay. We look, Daniel Caitlin left, but I mean
he did even stick around, and you know he's probably
gonna be a back up again this year. But it's
(01:36):
just it just put in perspective how hard is to
get a guy to stick around in today's world of
college football. So it's a it's a situation for sure,
I think for a lot of teams.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, there was a time not too long ago and
nebrask got four or five scholarship quarterbacks on the roster,
and how did the coaches keep him back then? I mean,
the transfer rule was far more restrictive, but you got
to tell him, Look, we run an offense here, and
we did when we ran that power option where the
quarterbacks getting hit all the time. That's not necessarily the
(02:06):
case anymore. In fact, they take great pains to make
sure the quarterback doesn't get hit in practice in any condition.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, the transfer portal didn't exist, as you know, and
you know back then to transfer, you had to you
had to meet with your coach man the man, tell
me you were transferring, ask for a permission for a release,
and then he would decide what schools you could be
released to. So you say, yeah, we'll release you, no
Big ten schools and not Colorado or whatever it was
(02:34):
you know on your schedule at that point. And you know,
so it took a lot more guts to transfer. I
mean you had to go face to face and tell
your coach. And so now it's a lot easier. You
don't even have to tell your coach you're transferring. So yeah,
you see players as going and the compliance off and
say I'm entering the portal, and then that's when they
entered the portal. So you had different eras different times,
(02:57):
and you know with quarterbacks, but you know, the offense
is that the players are bigger and stronger too now, Jim,
So quarterbacks can get hurt easier because of just the
size and speed I mean of college football players now
and how the game is played compared to what it
used to be played in terms of just the physical
size of players and the advances we've made with strength
(03:19):
training and other things.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, I just can't. I was thinking about this yesterday.
I can't think of one program at a Power five
right now. And maybe there is, I'm sure there is
that has two quarterbacks that could that are interchangeable, that
could actually lead the team in a way just like
the other guy. Because we've moved to an NFL model
now and that is one quarterback and then a backup.
(03:44):
And if we have to go to the backup, we
know we have a very little chance of winning.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Well. Texas last year is probably the best example. They
had quinn Ewers and arch Manning, and it still doesn't
make like Steve Spurrier said, how's this arch Manning guy
the favorite for the Heisman? You know, he couldn't even
be out of seventh round draft pick last year in
quinn Ewers. But Texas is able to have two very
highly made, multimillion dollar quarterbacks on its roster and now
(04:09):
Archie Manning will be the guy. But that's a very
rare deal. You know, Dylan Royland and even you know
Georgia had Carson back at the time, Dylan Royland was
supposed to go there and that didn't work out. I mean, yeah,
it's it's going to be extremely tough for a lot
of schools to keep two very good quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, Troy Dana was up in Omaha yesterday and he
was talking about nil and he said, the day of
the collectives paying kids is over, you know, rounding up
passing the hat, rounding up dollars and paying them to
the kids is over. So how does that equate with
Texas who says they have thirty five or forty million
to pay football players this year? What do they mean?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, Texas front loaded all their bills, so a lot
of schools have done. It's not just Texas where whatever
they are paying their current roster pre July one, they've
paid and those could be twelve month agreements. They've just
paid for them in advance, through through their collective through
(05:09):
and then their reb share dollars can solely be focused
on high school players. And you know it's it's not
a long term model, like you can't really do this
probably every year. But yeah, an I l as you
know it's going to be you have to it's gonna
have to be approved, and they have to be legitimate
deals that you know, hey, sign this football. Here's one
(05:29):
hundred grand, that that type of ANIL is not going
to exist anymore. It's going to have to be a
legitimate business agreement and kind of what we thought. Then
you have the rep share money. But yeah, it's it's
such a changing thing, Jim with nil and where it's gone.
And i'd imagine whatever they've said this month's going to
(05:49):
change six months from now.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
All Right, Kaf'll be great for strong man. Sean Callahan.
Thanks buddy. We'll talk to you tomorrow, kay f abe,
News time in the morning, six fifty four. Are you
guys talking tomorrow? Maybe out tomorrow Monday, but I might
talk to Sean tomorrow. You're right Monday on the air,
but I'll probably talk to him tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
All right, Good
