Detailing what Zac Taylor brought to Nebraska as a quarterback (msn.com)
“Out of nowhere, late, they take this guy by the name of Zac Taylor,” explained Callahan. “He was a true-and-true Oklahoma Sooner fan. In 2004, he watched the Nebraska-Oklahoma game in the stands in Norman as an OU fan on a break from Butler Community College. Then, by ’05, he was the starting quarterback for Nebraska against Oklahoma.”
What a rise for Taylor, who Callahan says fit like a glove into Nebraska’s system at the time, while some other QBs simply didn’t.
“They wanted a mature quarterback, kind of a guy that knew how to run a complicated offense. He’s obviously that to this day,” added Sean Callahan.
“So, Zac Taylor comes in and wins the job, gets off to somewhat of a slow start learning this offense that Bill Callahan was running with the Raiders two years before in the Super Bowl.”
