There's no viable alternative (sorry Kennedi), so we're riding & dying with her, just a shame that Reilly will be blamed for whatever way this season ends. She isn't elite. It shows in the biggest moments. But I guess that's the life of a setter. Just like a QB. what's elite is your pessimism lol so melodramatic she's great, and just asking how many setters generally play in the national championship match each year. it's almost like she helped get us there or something

Wasn't one of Kennedi's major issues that refs constantly called doubles on her and it would rattle her? In the new rule environment, wouldn't she be much better off now? Honestly asking.

She’s free to get out of her own head and just place the ball rather than over think hand placement and contact timing etc.

Honestly asking. seems like it. I’m not anti Bergen at all, but I would LOVE to see Kennedi get a chance to set a full match just once in her final year. She won’t unseat Bergen, and shouldn’t, but I think those acting like we don’t have a capable back up are being a little dramatic. She looked great at red and white and she brings lots of intangibles and leadership that could prove helpful in those moments when this team seems to struggle mentally.

She looked great at red and white and she brings lots of intangibles and leadership that could prove helpful in those moments when this team seems to struggle mentally. Kennedi is a great back up setter and would start on many P4 teams. What I don't get is having her as a serving sub. Her serve is not so dangerous that you need her to serve and once she's in she can't come in to set if Bergen gets hurt. Heaven forbid it happen but you would see a set like we had set 3 last night where terrible foresight from Cook completely screws up the rotation/lineup. If Bergen goes down and you want to use Orr as the backup, you lose Andi since Orr is serving for Andi. And then you would have to have Orr in the MB position on the rotation and put in Blackwell into the setter position which is a recipe for complete confusion on the Nebraska side. Like what's the advantage of Orr as serving sub especially since Andi has show flashes of having a much more dangerous serve?

Watching USC makes me realize how tall the Nebraska team is. Batenhorst just towers over the USC team whereas she looked almost normal sized on the Nebraska team.

Just for the set in which the injury occurred Have no inside info, but using Orr as a serving sub maybe needed to keep her from transferring. I doubt NE could get a transfer setter better than her.

Orr maybe a better right side defender IDK. I feel NE is very lucky to have her on the team, as they have to have a back up setter and she is a very good one IMO.
