On this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, Scott and I open the show with a TEASER regarding the HUGE announcement coming at the end of the show, that shares some killer news about the future of our podcast. We also announce the three awards our show has been nominated for in the upcoming Nebraska Podcast Awards this August.

Then we get down to the most pressing business at hand: the departures of Casey Thompson, Logan Smothers and Richard Torres into the Transfer Portal. Will there be issues with depth at the quarterback position this season? We know Rhule and Company will run the QB a bit more than we saw from a Whipple-coordinated attack, so will 3 scholarship QB's be enough to outlast a rough and tumble Big 10, and lead Nebraska to that elusive bowl game? We also answer a few other questions:

1) Does this mean Jeff Sims is locked in as the starter?
2) Will Purdy push him in Fall Camp?
3) If Sims isn't challenged by Purdy, can Haarberg challenge for the backup spot? We saw what he can do with the read option in the Spring Game.
4) Was this Rhule's way of telling D-Coordinators that this kind of QB run game is coming, but without showing how well the Top 2 QB's can run it?

We also touch briefly on the other players who are in the portal before calling it a night with a GLORIOUSLY GINORMOUS ANNOUNCEMENT! If you're reading these notes to find out ahead of time what it is, too bad. You'll have to watch the show, or listen to the podcast on Monday. Let's just say that we are going places, and the place we're going rhymes with "Smurf Fat"
