Full StoryOMAHA, Neb. - When Kody Spano suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on April 13, most people thought coach Bo Pelini was a bit optimistic when he predicted his recovery time at four months.
During Wednesday's Knights of Columbus sports night, however, Nebraska offensive coordinator Shawn Watson said Spano has been back for two weeks and he'll be at full-go for the start of fall camp.
Offensive coordinator Shawn Watson says Nebraska QB Kody Spano has been at full speed for two weeks.
"We got Kody Spano back," Watson said. "Our strength staff and Mark Mayer, our trainer, did a super job. [Mayer] told me when Kody had his surgery the Friday before the spring game [April 17], an ACL is not easy.
This is great. Spano came in with a lot of promise and should be able to contribute, if healthy. If he only pushes ZLee to be a better QB, that's a huge boost. Also, if he allows us to redshirt Cody Green, that's a win for the Huskers. Great news all around heading into fall camp.
