Spring Preview
Spring look around the Big 12By Tim Griffin
Special to ESPN.com
Will Iowa State be able to keep Stevie Hicks healthy? Can Missouri improve its in-state recruiting? Can Nebraska improve its offensive line? Who will win Oklahoma State's QB battle? Will Henry Melton play running back at Texas in 2006? Our Big 12 notebook addresses those questions and much more.
Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Cornhuskers' spring practice should be more spirited after the return of three starters who missed most, if not all, of last season with injuries. TE Matt Herian, LB Steve Octavien and G Andy Christensen all are back for the start of spring practice on March 22. "We're glad to have all of them back," Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said. "They all will be welcome. That's not to say that the people we had that replaced them didn't step up and do their jobs, but we'll be glad to have all of them back." … One area of immediate concern this spring is building cohesion in the offensive line. The Cornhuskers allowed 38 sacks last season -- an all-time single-season high for the Cornhuskers. … Callahan has made an increased effort to rejuvenating the Cornhuskers' walk-on program, placing a different assistant coach in charge of a specific area in Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have 31 walk-ons on their current roster after having 40 walk-ons last season.
