While the players won’t get much sympathy for getting a trip to Hawaii and California for the end of the beach season, it was still an exhausting schedule from the beginning.

The spring practice is the start of a new chapter for the program. It’s a chapter when Nebraska will be a pretty young team, but also could benefit by having most of the group together for the next two seasons.
