Steven M. Sipple: Not even world health crisis likely will alter NU O-line's 'no-excuses' theme

That is, the Husker offensive line has no more excuses. It's largely a veteran group, they said, and it's time for its play to reflect that -- consistently.

You got the distinct feeling that not even a world health crisis will change their line of thinking.

"Those guys know the deal," Greg Austin, the team's offensive line coach and run game coordinator, said on March 9, referring to Jaimes and Farniok.
