Slowly, steadily, Tanner Lee is becoming the productive quarterback many envisioned in August, when the Tulane transfer drew high offseason accolades – from some who knew him well, and from some who’d never seen him play.
In any event, the Lee the Nebraska football team has seen over its last four games is the quarterback the Huskers need to finish the 2017 season strong.
Lee, who directed Nebraska’s game-winning touchdown drive Saturday night to defeat Purdue 25-24, is completing 60.4 percent of his passes over his last four games for 1,242 yards, with eight touchdowns and one interception.
