Listening to Luke McCaffrey's projection of positive energy, you almost have to remind yourself that he recently lost a battle for Nebraska's starting quarterback job.
The way Husker coaches discussed the preseason QB battle, it genuinely seemed like a tight one.
Watching McCaffrey operate with poise during Saturday's 52-17 season-opening loss at Ohio State, it's very believable that he pushed Adrian Martinez for the job.
McCaffrey, though, now pushes forward with a team-oriented approach, seemingly pleased with a role that has him run the ball out of the backfield, split out wide and catch passes and even play some snaps at quarterback.
