Nebraska football: Tristan Gebbia departure would be crippling and ill-advised

Game week for Nebraska football is supposed to be all about being excited for the season opener. On Monday afternoon, the feeling shifted substantially to unease over the quarterback situation.

One day after Adrian Martinez was named the starting quarterback, his backup has begun thinking about leaving. This situation is far from ideal for a number of reasons.

Shortly after Monday practice, head coach Scott Frost announced Tristan Gebbia did not practice with the team. The coach further clarified that the quarterback was “weighing his options.”

Frost added that he only wants players who want to be here.
