[Husker] Burkhead out?

[j j]

Isnt the wildcat what we are running now? Isnt it really just a shotgun formation but instead of a guy who is listed as a quarterback on the roster you use a guy listed as a running back? So arent we really running the wildcat when Lee lines up in the shotgun and runs the option? Or am I missing something? I really think I would love to see teams lineup in the shotgun with a running back as the qb if I was a DC. Put 8 guys in the box and make him pass to beat you. If he had a really good arm he would be a qb already. 
 
I really fail to see much advantage to the whole "wildcat" thing.

Interesting.  Some caller brought up Washington on Unsportsmanlike
Conduct this afternoon.  Their opinion was that he came here as a
linebacker, not a running back or QB.  But the opinion on that channel
was that he didn't like contact well enough to be a linebacker, and as
a running back, he'd be running INTO guys, not away from them.  And
that Spano thing too.  You'd risk injuring your 3rd string QB.

My opinion is that this offense doesn't run a wildcat now, and
wouldn't likely do so this year.  We haven't even seen much of that QB
draw that we thought we'd see more of.  I do think we should look for
ways of getting Washington on the field, but its likely not be in a
situation like a brand new set like the wildcat.  Not this year.
