Credit their new coaches.
There's Lord, the starter at quarterback for the Huskers in 2002 and 2003. Former NU players Tony Veland and DeAntae Grixby were on hand for Monday's practice. Omaha Beef quarterback James McNear is the offensive coordinator. Mike Horacek, a former Iowa State receiver and Arena Football League player, is on staff.
There are plenty of others, too. Warren, the ex-Husker lineman and former Green Bay Packer, is in charge of Concordia football now, but he's already invited anyone helping with his athlete training and development organization (Warren Academy) to stop by his new gig. Representatives of Warren's mentoring program (D.R.E.A.M. Omaha) are welcome, as well.
