Boy, where to start. With all this Sam Keller talk, (he's apparently enrolled at NU now, according to some reports, but still going to visit Norman as well as Lincoln), it makes a certain amount of sense to go with the Blackshirts.
Juco DT Brandon Jackson has made enough of a splash that there is talk of shuffling the interior line around some. Steve Octavian, sidelined after an appendectomy, is back practicing, as is CB Andre Jones, who was nursing a sore hammy. With Jones out, converted WRs Isiah Fluellen and Tyrell Spain got time with the first and second teams at CB, respectively, with Titus Brothers also getting action with the second unit. At safety, Ricky Thenarse and Major Culbert are seeing time behind Tierre Green and Andrew Shanle, while Ben Eisenhart has been mentioned at nickelback. Thenarse seems to be a student favorite, with chants of Ricky, Ricky, Ricky while running drills on Sunday. Freshman Michael Such is pushing P Dan Titchener hard for the starting job.
Over on offense, things are a little more settled. QB Taylor has indicated the Marlon Lucky has developed some pretty good hands in the passing game, which is very welcome news. Also, wideout Maurice Purify has been working with the top unit and has been catching everything thrown in his general direction. Chris Patrick and Lydon Murtha are battling mightily for the top spot at left tackle. Backup QB Joe Ganz welcomes more competition for the QB position and says "bring it on" if Keller eventually comes to Lincoln.
