[Husker] Vince Young or Tommy Frasier?

[Andrew Smith]

Yes, but the "very, very good" part of the USC team was all on the 
offensive side.  No doubt, Young is a great college QB, but I was never 
saw any decent attempt to contain Young in the pocket or assign a player 
to shadow him.  USC also left Texas' receivers wide open on the shorter 
routes all night.
An exciting game?  YES!  One of the best ever?  Not in my opinion.  A 
defense only showed up for a hand full of plays (mainly Texas' 4th and 1 
stops) all game long.  And the winning team did have a few key calls go 
their way.

I mean the guy did throw up almost 500 yards of total offense by himself against a very, very good USC team and with the game on the line and USC knowing that they had to stop only him...they couldn't.

>As for NFL QB's, I have long maintained that Michael Vick is one of the most overrated players in the HISTORY of the NFL. While he has led the Falcons to a couple of nice wins, namely the playoff upset of the Packers at Lambeau several years back, the guy has a career passer rating of somewhere around 70. OUCH!

>I see Young as a similar type NFL player to Vick so to me, and I would guess most NFL GM's, Leinart is a much better pro prospect. The 2 things that Young has going for him over Vick is that he is physically bigger and a more accurate passer...while Vick has a much stronger arm. I would almost say that Young is more like a Daunte Cullpepper, although Cullpepper has a stronger arm...but then again Young is a better runner.

>Let's just hope for the Husker's sake that the 2 best players on the field last night both decide to head to the NFL early or you could quite possibly chalk up 2 losses for next season before it even starts. I mean even though Reggie Bush didn't have as electrifying of a game as Young, he still had 279 all-purpose yards and a TD himself.
