Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback Zac Lee will have to prove he has what it takes

In the Big 12 Conference, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have a reputation for being big and talented… and BIG. Part of the reason that size and talent are associated with the Nebraska Cornhuskers roster is that typically the Nebraska Cornhuskers starters are strictly juniors and seniors. However, this season Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach Bo Pelini is trusting his gut and going against tradition, starting an inexperienced 2nd year transfer at quarterback.

This season, Cornhuskers fans can look forward to seeing Zac Lee on the Nebraska roster as starting quarterback even though he only has 2 career passes since his arrival in Lincoln. Zac Lee started at a community college but took a red-shirt year and only played one season of small scale football before transferring to the University of Nebraska. He saw very little game time last season but did manage to make 2 passes. In the Red and White spring game, Zac Lee showed that he had some real potential making 15 of 18 passes for 214 yards and 3 touchdowns. Coach Pelini doesn’t seem to be bothered by Lee’s lack of NCAA Division-I experience and is confident that Lee will take the Cornhuskers into the postseason.

I guess we will have to wait for the Cornhuskers to start their season September 5th against Florida Atlantic before we will know if Bo can see something the rest of us can’t.
