To use his own words, "100% committed to Nebraska" three days ago, and now "I'm all in!" for OU.
Strange times indeed.
Lots of butthurt over there. 🤣
I just read about Rouse a few minutes ago. Really great news for whoever gets to be QB next year! Also, it is his last year of eligibility.
I just read most of their comments. It was kinda entertaining...lol
Pat Fields must have got into ear and gave him some words of encouragement. Day 1 starter for sure.
"He was penalized once in 2022."
Insert clapping gif here. This is a huge get.

I actually remember that game, though not the name. UCinn was the two time defending national champ and a member of the Missouri Valley Conference. We lived in Tulsa also in the MVC, and I was proud that a conference member had won natty, and was disappointed the Loyola - Chicago upset them.Interesting tidbits from Stanford's page on him:

This guy has pretty good athletic genes, and if his labrum heals, he ought to be an OLine asset for OU.
