Nebraska Football: Hopes for the quarterbacks in Red and White Game

Noah Vedral: Showing command

Perhaps more than any of the Nebraska Football quarterbacks on the roster, this is Vedral’s time to shine. As the Omaha World-Herald noted, he will probably work more with the top offense. This will give him a chance to ”get his feet wet” and be able to show that he can lead an offense. Coming to Nebraska from a UCF with head coach Scott Frost, he should look to show Frost that he knows how to lead the offense and can be put out there in a game situation.

In his defense, he really gets do that last year. Because of NCAA transfer rules, he did not get to help Nebraska Football until the middle of the season. Now, he can use the spring game to make up for some of the lost time. It will give him a chance to go up against his teammates and see what the Nebraska Football defense looks like. That will be important for him moving forward. After that, both he and the coaches will be able to get a benchmark of where he is at. Come summertime, this game may help him find his way up the depth chart.

He just needs to be able to show that he knows what he’s doing. That may sound simple, but once the game is sped up at full speed, it becomes difficult. He certainly has the talent to get the job done. He just needs to go out and execute. It’s certainly easy for me to say, but I’m confident that his skill set will allow him to do so. He needs to be up to show command, look confident in the pocket, and be able to make sound reads. They don’t necessarily have to be the right ones, and I’m not asking him to be perfect on every read. Making reads that he is comfortable with will be important for him. No matter if the reads are right or wrong, if you’re not comfortable in the pocket, that automatically puts you at a disadvantage.
