- After practice, Bo did not seem too impressed with his squad.
The Huskers held their first scrimmage of the spring on Saturday, and
Pelini said they did not respond well. However, Bo did say he may
change his mind when looking at the film after practice.
- Bo also
said the main thing he wants to see from his team is improvement. As
long as the team is getting better, Pelini will be happy.
- Jermarcus
"Yoshi" Hardrick practiced today, but once again wore a wrap on his
hand.
- Defensive tackle Jared Crick shared the same sentiments
after practice. When asked about his goals in spring practice, Crick
said he is just trying to get better every day.
- Defensive
backs coach Marvin Sanders was asked about the safety position. Sanders
listed off nearly ten different names of players who are legitimately
competing a starting job. Sanders said he really loves his group's
depth. Sanders also said he is really excited to see Harvey Jackson and
Corey Cooper join the team in the summer.
- Sanders also talked
about the progression of senior safety Rickey Thenarse. Sanders said he
really knows Thenarse has matured because he actually is listening to
what Sanders says now. Sanders said he knows that Rickey is paying
attention because he will often ask a follow up question.
- Pelini
also said he thinks Rickey Thenarse is progressing well in his return.
Tight end Dreu Young was back on the field today as the team went in
full pads for the eighth practice of the Spring session
Continuing to
be out are as follows:
TE, Ben Cotton (status uncertain)
TE, J.T. Kerr (Out for
Spring)

LB, Matt May (out for Spring)
OL,
Ricky Henry (Out for Spring)
DB, Lance Thorell (status uncertain)

There
seems to be a little shifting around on the offensive line right now.
At left guard you now have Mike Smith. Smith had previously been at
center, but it was known that he could work anywhere of the interior
spots. He's backing up Keith Williams.
At center you have Mike Caputo and Cole Pensick.
At right guard you have Brent Qvale and
Brandon Thompson
At left tackle is Jermarcus Hardrick and Jeremiah Sirles
At right tackle is Marcel Jones and D. J. Jones
Sirles,
Williams, Caputo, Qvale and Marcel are all taking most of the first
unit reps from what I could tell.
