Mike Dawson pleased with Nebraska's work in the middle. Senior Peyton Newell among those providing hope of having depth at the nose.


You can say it’s overhype but Scott Frost has presided over the best Husker winter ball practices since I’ve been on the beat.
10:54 AM - Apr 6, 2018


Ruud talks inside backers. Great quote: “I like new mistakes. I don’t like repeat mistakes. If I have guys who I know have proven to me they’re smart guys and they keep making the same mistakes, then I have to look at myself too.”

“Our expectation is to go 100 percent as fast as you can be and as physical as you can be,” Frost said. We have reached halfway point of spring practices. #Huskers

Deontre Thomas said the DL plays much more aggressive in this system and he’s facing fewer double teams so far at DE than he did inside as freshman. #Huskers

Mario Verduzco said coaches are splitting QB reps as evenly as they possibly can right now. "They can't read anything into it. 'Get your reps. Let's go...'" Nobody has an edge, he said. Biggest concern to him right now is getting their feet and eyes in the right place.

Tristan Gebbia was the last one off the #Huskers practice field again today.

Spent a good 45 minutes after practice ended getting in more work.

Threw to McQuitty, McGriff, Keyan Williams and Todd Honas and then a bit on a target net.

Rapid reaction: "Most" of offense in, no depth chart at Rb. Fullbacks finding a spot

Deontre Thomas: "I feel like we’re more mentally tough and physically tough. We’ve been in the weight room and really working. We’re just tougher than last year and ready to crack heads." #Huskers

✔@Husker247BDaiShon Neal said he squatted 645 pounds for 3 reps this winter conditioning. His bench maxed out at 455 for 3 reps. "And it felt easy. So that right there showed us how good our bodies are. We lift heavy. Our light days are heavy."

Nebraska QBs coach Mario Verduzco said today NU QBs have thrown 4 INTs in 2 weeks of camp. That's 4 too many for Verduzco, but for folks who saw 2015 and 2016 practices, where 4 picks might happen in one day, it's pretty good. #huskers

A bit more on Hunter Miller ...

Missed all of last season with shoulder injury.

“To be honest with you, when we first started, I didn’t know that first practice of spring ball was his first collegiate practice – ever,” Austin said. “I was really kind of amazed ..." #walkons

Wow - reading all these are making me realize how overpaid Riley is at $50,000.00.
