Lessons learned from spring practice: Nebraska Cornhuskers

Related Topics: Lesson, Nick Gates

Spring practice is complete. The longest period of offseason waiting is upon us. But we can always look back. This week, we’re taking stock of the lessons learned during the 15 practice sessions of spring for each Big Ten team. Up next is Nebraska.

1. The Cornhuskers are going to be young on offense up front.

The departure this spring of senior Paul Thurston, who was the top candidate as the offseason began to start at center, only accelerates the youth movement. Slated to start on the offensive line, from left to right, are sophomores Nick Gates and Jerald Foster, senior Dylan Utter, sophomore Tanner Farmer and junior David Knevel.
