The Nebraska football team will have a little lunchtime football on their hands this weekend, as they face longtime rival Iowa State in an 11:30 a.m. matchup at Memorial Stadium Saturday.
The big question on the minds of Nebraska football fans is whether Zac Lee or Cody Green will get the starting nod at quarterback for the Huskers.
Lee has been the starting quarterback all season, but after an amazing performance against Missouri in the rain two weeks ago, the sophomore fell flat and did not play well in Saturday's 31-10 loss to Texas Tech.
Green has shown some flashes of brilliance in some early games and led Nebraska on its only touchdown drive against the Red Raiders, sparking questions as to whether the freshman might get handed the keys to the Hukser offense this week.
Coach Bo Pelini told reporters this week that he wants to see which quarterback does the best job of executing in practice this week. After the loss last week, he was very passionate in his remarks for the lack of effort shown by the team against Texas Tech, and pointedly commented that the quarterback position was open heading into this week's game with Iowa State.
Whether the sophomore Lee gets the starting nod, or the coach puts his faith in the freshman Green, you can see all the action as the Nebraska football team meets Iowa State this Saturday. Get your tickets for the game now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.
