Turner expects Friday to be emotional after wild ride at NU

It's been a roller coaster, but it's also a ride Jamal Turner said he's going to miss.

"I'm sure I'll cry after the game, honestly," Turner said three days before he'll step on the field for his final home game as a Husker. "I've put a lot of sweat and tears, been at this university five years."

A fascinating prospect to Husker fans ever since his recruitment out of Arlington, Texas, Turner arrived to Lincoln in 2011 as a confident quarterback who could also play receiver. Then he caught a pass and flipped into the end zone during his first Spring Game and expectations only soared more.
