Red Report: Growing Stoltenberg preparing as if he's a starter
Mick Stoltenberg warms up at the start of football practice on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2014.Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Mick Stoltenberg played three snaps in Nebraska’s 30-28 loss to Northwestern – four, if you count his participation on one extra-point play.
Stoltenberg and Greg McMullen entered the game at the same time to replace Vince Valentine and Maliek Collins to give Nebraska’s starting interior duo a breather.
It’s the sixth time in eight games the 6-foot-5, 285-pound Stoltenberg has rotated in at defensive tackle, a position where injures to Kevin Williams and Kevin Maurice, as well as to regular starter Valentine, have tested Nebraska’s depth.
