Nice story from Omaha.com this morning:

“What we do is we see all of these kids in practice a lot, see them in clinics in different places, all-star games, spring practices. We get a real feel for them.’’

Several years later, Smith is the Sun Belt Conference’s all-time passing leader and a legitimate NFL prospect. Using big-name quarterbacks from his University of Miami days for comparison, Schnellenberger said Smith has “the talent of a (Bernie) Kosar and the experience of a (Jim) Kelly.’’

Score one for being thorough.

“I’ve been saying he’s going to be a first-round pick for a long time,’’ Schnellenberger said. “Since he was a sophomore, I’ve told people to remember and draw a circle around my statement — and I’ve never changed my mind about it.’’

Two for one today from Omaha.com…….

This one looks at hwo Nebraska will try to disrupt Rusty and our passing game:

"The Huskers can't afford to let Smith drop back without giving the Sun Belt preseason co-offensive player of the year some sense of apprehension, according to junior defensive end Pierre Allen.

He said they'll have to get to Smith one way or another to slow the Owls' passing attack Saturday."
