[Husker] McNeil & Recruiting

[Lynette Tillner]

I thought it was because they promised Paul more touches? McNeil didn't get a 
single pass thrown to him all day. Bad Coaching decision if you ask me!

I was thinking this exact same thing last night.  McNeil is a very good tight 
end, but not near as good as a WR for just the reason you mentioned.  Maybe 
since the team went to a more rushing offense, they felt that they needed a more 
physical TE for blocking.  McNeil is listed at 6' 4" 235...not really a 
punisher.  He has the best hands on the team.  I think he he has 6 catches in 6 
games this season. no catches yesterday.
