Steven M. Sipple: One of Thompson's reasons for choosing Huskers tends to stand out

Things I know, and things I think I know:

"Why" is an incredibly important word in the newspaper business.

In that regard, it seems sensible to share why former Texas quarterback Casey Thompson chose Nebraska as his transfer spot.

Husker fans might even extract a level of optimism from his answer.

"First and foremost, I was just looking for an opportunity at the quarterback spot," he says. "I was looking for a great offense and a good offensive line."

Good offensive line? That part, in particular, might surprise Nebraska fans who watched the unit struggle last season, particularly in pass protection.
