Saturday was supposed to be Nebraska football's annual spring game. In past years, that's meant former coach Bo Pelini walking out dressed as a meme of himself, sellout crowds and plenty of hope for next season.

The Cornhuskers weren't about to do away with all the positivity that usually comes from the event. This year, they took the game online with a partially simulated spring game boasting rosters full of the school's most legendary players.

Instead of getting a glimpse at future stars, the Red-White Game was highlighted by the play of Tommie Frazier, Eric Crouch, Mike Rozier, Prince Amukamara, Ndamukong Suh and Ahman Green.
