Florida Atlantic vs. Nebraska: Five Players To Watch

Nebraska Quarterback Tommy Armstrong, Jr.

Obviously the Big Red masses are going to want to see if all this talk of starter swagger’s legit.

As the Omaha World-Herald’s Lee Barfknecht recently remarked, game day is the ultimate truth serum.

The Husker offense’s No. 4 isn’t only worth a watch to see how he handles himself, the huddle and the pigskin. He’s going to throw against a secondary that, believe it or not, ain’t that bad.

Florida Atlantic senior cornerback D’Joun Smith leads the defensive backfield and No. 3 nationally with seven interceptions last year.

If anyone can take advantage of a poorly-thrown ball, it’s him.

Expect Armstrong to have a brain fart or two. What’s most important is if he can bounce back from any major setbacks that he caused.
