Redshirt freshman QB Patrick Witt is leaving the Huskers. Details are sketchy but his father, Gene Witt, was quoted in an Omaha.com article as saying “There’s a lot that went on…I wish I could say more, but I really can’t go there.”

    Witt is a victim of his dads antics. The elder Witt has averaged a call a day to the coaching staff since the Gator bowl looking for guarantees that his son will be the starter next season or he’d leave. Pelini called his bluff and processed the paperwork for dismissing him from his scholarship and faxed it to Witt’s dad this afternoon.

    Samuel McKewon of Nebraska State Paper paints an interesting portrait of two players.

    The juxtaposition of the two backup quarterbacks, at least on that day, was jarring.

    It was two weeks before Nebraska’s bowl game with Clemson, and a cluster of reporters had decided – in whatever unspoken-yet-oddly-unanimous vote we often take – that interviews with Patrick Witt and Zac Lee were in order for the weekly temperature-taking being done at that time because we had already exhausted every angle on starter Joe Ganz.

    One of the backups got off the elevator in the Hawks Center sucking on a juice box. Grape flavor. White straw.

    The other was still on the practice field throwing a variety of passes to wideout Menelik Holt.

    Juice man walked.
