While it's certainly not set in stone, former ASU starting QB Sam Keller has apparently left ASU and might be available. Coach C & O-Coordinator Jay Norvell are courting him to come to NU with the idea that he could possibly win the starting job in 2007 after redshirting this year. Interesting idea, but the young man is also considering....Oklahoma and the evil Buffs, among others.
Naturally, Husker fans are excited, but I would have to question the guy's makeup. Obviously, the coach down at ASU screwed up by telling Keller he had the job and then reversing direction, but the other kid may not play as well as he did last year, might get hurt, might even get in trouble with the law or the NCAA. Personally, I don't think you should lose your spot due to injury, which is what seems to be the case here, but the coach made the decision to open the competition up. Apparently Keller feels that he wasn't treated fairly and has decided to run -- not sure how mature, or immature, that makes him, but someone needs to tell him he should learn to deal with disappointment and how perserverance builds character. For sure, if the young man decides to end up an NU, someone needs to tell him about......Brook Berringer.

Brook Berringer was a great backup at Nebraska and will forever be remembered in the hearts of all true Husker fans. He would have been a great NFL QB no doubt. He answered when called upon and performed to the best of his ability to the surprise of no one! April 18, 1996 is a day that will be remembered by the HUSKER NATION!!!
Brook was probably the most impressively team oriented player in school history. Most QBs would have been terribly disapointed (as I'm sure he was) with the way things turned out, but very few, if any, would have stuck with the team the way he did. He was very, very special, and we are very priveliged to have had him in our lives the way we did.
