The all-time NCAA leading rusher (7,962yds), Danny Woodhead, finally got his wish. The ex-Chadron State running back is playing for Bill Callahan. Sure, it's not at Nebraska, but they are on the same team, the New York Jets.
Nebraska native, Woodhead, was over-looked again and again by former Nebraska head coach Bill Callahan. The only team Woodhead wanted to play for was Nebraska, just like all the other kids who play high school football in the state. Woodhead is 5'7" and from Nebraska . These were two facts that Callahan couldn't get past.
Bill Callahan was hired by the Jets after getting fired by Dr. Tom Osborne in November '07. Danny Woodhead signed a free-agent deal with the Jets. I wonder what Woodhead thinks of Callahan for not giving him a chance and at the same time ruining his favorite team in Nebraska? Is there any doubt that a running back with 4.38 speed, a vertical of 38.5", and 20 reps of 225lbs will have an impact on a team? The Jets and the rest of the AFC East will find out soon.

I like the match-ups and the years of bad-blood between rivals in college football. I enjoy a good game no matter the national implications. Give me a 3OT game between a couple of Sun Belt teams over a 40 point blowout between a couple top 25 teams anytime. I consider myself to be a fan of the game. I will be as respectful to visitors on my blog as they are to me. Go Huskers! Go Navy! Go Jags! Go Cubbies!
