Now that we have your attention, let's explain. If you are a Nebraska fan, the good news is that the Huskers finally have a committed quarterback. Former Texas starter Casey Thompson who has two years of eligibility remaining, has said he's coming to Lincoln. His numbers as the starting quarterback for the Longhorns were impressive despite NOT leading Texas to a bowl game. He'll compete with Logan Smothers for the starting position. We would be shocked to start the 2022 season when Nebraska opens up against Northwestern if he's not under center. Signing Thompson is also an indication that Nebraska will be a pass-first offense under new Offensive Coordinator Mark Whipple.
But the day and age of the transfer portal and NIL, Thompson most likely didn't come to Nebraska without some monetary incentive. Yes, it will cost money, sometimes lots of to land big names. Just look at Texas A&M; it's been reported that the Aggies, okay, not the school but the boosters spent $25-$30-million to secure what is considered the best recruiting class in the history of college football. Like it or not, Pandora's Box is now open, and this is what we can expect in college football from here on out.
Dr. Rob tells us how much he thinks it took to get Thompson to come to Lincoln on this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast. It's a significant number but well worth it if he can help turn around a once-proud program that is struggling.
