Mike Demps may wish that one of his biggest moments as a Nebraska football player came on a Saturday in the fall instead of during the spring game. Life doesn’t always work out the way you’d prefer, though.
Instead, Demps is one of those Nebraska players who had one of their shining moments during the Red-White Spring Game. Players who make a splash during the spring who you rarely hear from again.
Chris Butler had one of those moments, rushing for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the spring game in 2000. Butler created a buzz, but then two months later transferred to Auburn to be closer to family.
