Maybe one day I'll know as much about CFB as you. It does appear to this humble observer 7 on 7 drills happen "all the time", which colloquially could mean a lot of different things.
Our own Golden Buffaloes apparently have 7 on 7 drills during the summer. I wonder if they've ever stepped on a CFB field?

You missed my point pretty badly... The fact that your pointing out that our own Buffs have 7 vs. 7 drills tells me that "one day" ain't going to happen in my lifetime unless I hit my head on something, extremely hard...
MY POINT: a QB doesn't LOSE the starting job due to performance at these things when a coach isn't even allowed to attend. That's just the Corn faithful making up some story to make it sound like Witt is no loss. It is LAUGHABLE to buy that the coach had Lee working with the starters... That's not how these things work. There would be plenty of opportunity for all QBs to work with all WR's.
Unless Spano is the 2nd coming of Johnny Unitas, this creates some big unknowns in Lincoln. The fans know Witt was better than Lee (see depth chart, Lee with much more experience and yet was behind Witt). We know Spano played scout team while redshirting and maybe showed he's the future, maybe he didn't.
We know Cody Greene hasn't put pads on, never mind entered a game. I don't care how big or fast or how impressive his arm is, they are flipping the ball around in shorts, in front of no fans, no coaches and no reporters. The coaches may like him a lot, but the jury will be out until the spring games.
Valdez' point about the timing ABSOLUTELY points to something else. An off-the-field incident, a relationship issue with either player(s) or coach(s). You don't leave in February because you aren't working with the first teamers in 7 vs. 7 voluntary workouts!
The bottom line is Husker Nation is rocked by this and it's huge news. They just lost the QB that they were all telling us on the boards was next year's starter. Hey, maybe Greene is the real deal and will take the reigns as a true freshmen and never look back. Maybe not...
And this is the exact reason that the Huskers cannot be favored to compete for the BTN this year. Kansas is the clear pick. Mizzou, NU and CU are all big question marks.
