It certainly wasn’t the most exciting part of Nebraska’s season opener -- JD Spielman, Tre Bryant, Stanley Morgan and a host of others took care of that -- but it appeared the first football game under Nebraska’s clear bag policy went off mostly without a hitch Saturday as 90,171 filed into Memorial Stadium.

Instituted for the 2017 season, the policy has been advertised heavily by the athletic department, and most fans seem to have noticed.

A lap around the stadium about an hour before kickoff didn’t reveal an hassles, though folding tables were set up at each gate along with tubs of gallon-sized freezer bags for anyone who needed to switch.
