1) Ebner has not practiced much this fall, but Luke Lambert was the favorite to start at MLB, anyway - because he's more assignment-sound and much better in coverage.
2) It's a DUI offense. First time the kid has been in any trouble. He's hardly Hunter Teafatiller. It's not good, but this is far from the worst thing done by one of the local college athletes.
3) I'd much rather deal with this type of thing than have five starters lost for the season before it ever begins. Wow, Nebraska fans, bad luck up there.
While I'm taking to billay and company... has to be worrisome that 40 percent of your starting OL is now out for the season, considering you're a run-first team. Even if Martinez wins the starting job, you're still run-first (probably even more so). Right?
Puts even more pressure on a defense that has to replace an awful lot. How will the corners look when opposing QBs have time to throw something other than a slant, out or dig? How is that DL going to look without someone to draw constant double teams (though I did see one Nebraska writer claim Suh and Crick were each double-teamed on every single play...)
Should be a fun year. I understand Nebraska confidence (the game is in Lincoln, after all), but I don't understand the absolute arrogance and scoffing at even the thought that MAYBE Missouri MIGHT give them a game up there.
Typical internet fandom, I guess...
