Backup quarterback opts to leave Cornhuskers

OMAHA, Neb. -- Nebraska backup quarterback Harrison Beck is leaving the Cornhuskers.

"I'm disappointed that things occurred the way they did," coach Bill Callahan said after practice Monday. "I was hopeful that (the situation) could be rectified. But it's Harrison's choice."

Callahan said he spoke with Beck earlier in the day and the sophomore would be released from his scholarship.

Beck was a no-show at practice Friday and Saturday.

Considered one of the top Nebraska recruits in 2005, Beck burned his redshirt late last season when he replaced injured starter Zac Taylor in a 27-25 victory over Kansas State on Nov. 12.

Beck missed his first four passes and threw an interception on the fifth against the Wildcats, then led the Huskers on a seven-play, 55-yard drive, capped by a game-winning 40 yard field goal.

Beck is a Clearwater native and went to Countryside High School. Maybe CJL can convince him to trasnfer

I don't want this kid, his mom said he was disrespected and that he should have gone to an SEC school where he would know the playbook. He never informed the coaching staff about his problems, instead he just didn't show up to practice and then blamed the staff for not giving him a chance to play...

Let him go to Ole Miss or NC State...2 schools that have lready been rumored to be destinations.
