[Husker] quarterbacks

[Theodore Heise]

Like Dick, I noticed that Taylor came off the field and onto the 
sideline alone after aggravating his ankle injury.  He did look 
detached from the rest of the team, and didn't seem to provide much 
of a spark or much visible enthusiasm.  It's possible to lead 
without energy, just much harder.  Maybe he had it, but not in ways 
that could be seen by television viewers.

The team seemed to be a bit more energized when Cody came in, but 
most of his passes were painful to watch.  I'm not sure why he 
should be so off on so many passes--I don't recall that he has 
always struggled that badly with accuracy.  Again, my memory may be 
faulty here (wouldn't be a big surprise).

I'm still puzzled that Zac did not play.  As has been said many 
times on this list, when the team gets behind and has to pass it 
seems he would be the most logical choice.  He also seems to provide 
more spark--another plus.  Given that he was reportedly able to play 
against Oklahoma, it seems hard to imagine he hadn't healed up 
enough to play last night.  Is it possible he's had concussions, and 
is not allowed to play anymore?  I've heard nothing to that effect, 
just speculating.
