Steven M. Sipple: Quick takeaways from news of Spielman's absence from spring ball

A few quick takeaways from the personnel matters that Nebraska football coach Scott Frost announced Monday:

1. Frost's job isn't getting any easier. It's become more of a bear, actually. A big, toothy bear.

That was my first thought, right behind a hope that JD Spielman comes back strong from his personal health matter. Sometimes these discussions are bigger than football. But in the absence of knowing precisely what is ailing Spielman, we'll stick to football for now.
