[Husker] A Bold Prediction

[Theodore Heise]

>> Any justifiable excitement over our prospects next season should 
>> be tempered by the reality that 4 of our 6 best offensive 
>> starters (Ganz, Lucky, Swift & Petersen) are all gone with only 
>> Helu and McNeil remaining. That means minimally we will be going 
>> into next season with a new QB (either Witt or the incoming true 
>> freshman Green) that has never started or even played who will be 
>> throwing to a receiving core that to date has been somewhat 
>> underwhelming. Who steps up as the #1 and #2 receivers, and their 
>> performance, will be the key to the Husker offense next season, 
>> at least in my opinion.

> I agree with Jeff that the wide receivers remain a question mark. 
> It's hard to imagine anyone stepping up to fill Swift's shoes - - 
> but then we couldn't imagine filling Mo's shoes, either. Peterson 
> was the less-noticed receiver this year, but whoever replaces him 
> will have to undergo something of a transformation to equal his 
> steady reliability.

Hasn't Menelik Holt shown a fair bit of promise this year?
