Nebraska Quarterback Casey Thompson met with the media earlier this week to talk about Nebraska’s loss in Ireland, the lack of a bye week after an international game, the need to get the run game started, and his feelings heading into his first game at Memorial Stadium. In his first game for Nebraska, the Texas transfer was 25 of 42 for 355 yards with one TD and two INTs.
Thompson is a refreshing character in the football/media relationship. He has something that most players and almost every coach has an aversion to, and that’s to be open and honest with the media. He doesn’t try to duck questions, and he’s willing to push back if he feels the question being asked is unfair. I’m curious about his comments after the home opener. It’s clear he’s excited for his first game at Memorial Stadium. Let’s hope the experience lives up to his expectations.
