Spring Game Primer from LJS

[Mavric]

You never know who will capture the fancy of the masses when it comes to a Nebraska Red-White Spring Game.

 

Who could have predicted, a year ago, that a 7-year-old named Jack Hoffman would paint probably the most indelible image the annual bash has ever produced?

 

So we’ll offer no predictions about who will steal the show Saturday. Consider this instead a cheat sheet on some players perhaps worth watching.

 

Consider two additional things:

 

1) There will be very few snaps, if any, given to running back Ameer Abdullah and defensive end Randy Gregory.

 

2) Husker coach Bo Pelini has also said the offense will be “dialed back” to not reveal too much.

 

All that said, fans may like some aspects of this scrimmage more than previous ones. The format, with a specialized scoring system, will allow some snaps pitting the first-team offense vs. the top defense.

 

And while there are other spring scrimmages that carry just as much weight, if not more, it’s an important day for players looking to leave a strong final impression heading into summer conditioning.

 

So here's a sampling of a players you might want to watch
