He says:
"Nebraska’s first potential franchise quarterback since Curt Dukes in
2002.(talking about Cody Green)
We know how it turned out for Dukes. He arrived early, held his own with
Jammal Lord and Mike Stuntz in spring ball, and was basically handed the
starting job by Frank Solich five games into the 2002 season. He turned it down. To
this day, the inside stories of Solich disbelief at that response make me
smile. What in the hell did Dukes think he signed up for – working night shift
at Taco Bell? Dukes transferred to Duke and never played a down. The lesson:
The kid looked the part, acted the part and played the part – right up until
opening night. Then he didn’t want the part."
I had never heard this before - helps a little when you try to connect the
dots with what happened.
Good story though about Green
