SPRING FOOTBALL : Camp Begins!!

The Nebraska Football team had their first spring football practice at the Hawks Championship Center ,this afternoon. Head coach Bo Pelini said it was a good day of practice. "We had a couple of drills to start-it was a little bit of a Chinese fire drill,but overall I thought it was a really good day. We got a lot of work done. The effort was great. We hit the ground running",said Pelini.

Wide Receivers coach,Rich Fisher,co-offensive line coach John Garrison,linebackers coach Ross Els,and secondary coach Corey Raymond
have already been on campus for several weeks. Garrison and Els moved briskly among their groups instructing players,while Fisher settled on a sideline spot,and immediately instructed his wide receivers to sit on the ground and start catching passes. Raymond looked like a player,blending in among the defensive backs,occasionally pulling one aside for a pointer.

Unlike the more reserved Shawn Watson,new Offensive coordinator Tim Beck was active,vocal and smiling,moving briskly among the quarterbacks,who were taking snaps from center. A few times he took aside true freshmen Jamal Turner for a quick instructional chat.

Bo Pelini took his customary spot at midfield,surveying various stations with his arms crossed. Business as usual.

In their first 3 practices-including Monday and Wenesday of this coming week-the Huskers will undergo a "pretty aggressive install," Pelini said,before sending the players on spring break.The NU coaches will take the 12 day break to review whats left to install,while giving players a much needed rest from a fierce Winter conditioning period.

Todays practice was the first of 15 practices the Huskers will undergo before the Red and White spring game on April 16th at Memorial Stadium.

I just have one question,"Does it seem like its been 3 months since the Holiday Bowl?"
