Not going to lie, Cody's article sort of has me excited for this team. The 4* O-lineman possibly destroying guys, geeked up to see Keelan Cox and all the other returning injured guys to go along with the guys that stepped up last year has me thinking this D is good enough to take us to the title. If Peasely plays all year like he did early (before injuries), maybe there's a shot. If someone beat him out, then I'd know he was obviously better because Bohl just doesn't do that.

REAALLY wish Bohl would let the reporters watch a few practices.

I'm hoping someone beats out Peasley. If that happens, that means we likely have a future pro on our hands. Make no mistake, for Bohl, it would take a Josh Allen-like talent to unseat an incumbent.

QB Caden Becker converted to defensive end. Interesting.

I am very down on Peasley. We won't win more than 6 or 7 games again with him starting the whole year. To me he is basically a step above Tyler Vander Wal.

Welp. I was holding out hope Becker would rise to the top and be our QB. Guess Peasley The Mighty has an iron grip on that position. Great. I'd rather Clemons than Peasley.

Depends on a few things. Was it a complete fracture, or just a stress reaction or partial fracture. Was it just bone or did it involve the quadricep tendon or patellar tendon. Was the medial patellofemoral ligament damaged or not.

Long story short. If it was just a small partial or stress reaction fracture, then it wouldn't take super long. If it was a complete fracture, or involved soft tissues (tendon, ligament, etc), then it would be a much more involved rehab.

Either way, he should be back this year, just depends when and how much time he has to regain strength, speed, etc.

QB will remain an issue. Discouraging that the battle is for #2. The passing game will struggle again which puts a lid on potential for a conference championship. The opportunity to win quite a few games will be there, but the ooc losses and lack of passing will likely put the POKES at Bohl's average. With a completely 1 dimensional offense (its not the triple option), the POKES won't shock a decent P5 team. They'll be more than capable of matching up physically.

The Caden Becker move is definitely interesting. He had excellent athletic scores, and I live in omaha and saw him live a few times. He was always a better athlete than just a passer. If he still wants to be a quarterback then I wouldn't be surprised if a transfer announcement may be coming.

I'm intrigued on Evan Svaboda who Bohl praised quite a bit. If you watch highlights, he definitely has a lot of arm talent. I was hoping he would win the starting job or backup last year. Bohl said he is going to get a lot of looks in spring practices, and I would love to see an open competition for starter, but I think that is nailed down for Peasley regardless of shay anybody does.

I can't recall seeing a QB to defensive end change anywhere before. It is very intriguing. But he might just be a guy that wants to get on the field and let it fly (which is great for a defensive end but not so great for a QB).

Gary Patterson, while at TCU, used to make a point to recruit QB's - and convert them all over the field. He was quoted (somewhere) saying QB's (and RB's) are the most intelligent on the field, and usually are very athletic, so it doesn't take much for them to transition.
Dear Karma,

I have a list of people you missed...

I thought there was a moment he won the backup qb spot last year but I believe Clemons was day 1 backup. It would be really interesting if someone beat Peasely out as that would indicate that they’re clearly better as Bohl doesn’t like supplanting established starters at QB

Peasley will be better next year. He’s gonna run more as a senior. That will open stuff up.

Becker asked to switch positions and he loves Laramie! Very refreshing.
