Nebraska Football: 5 Takeaways From Last Week’s Practices

The Nebraska football team showed us quite a bit in last week’s set of practices but what where the top takeaways from the week that included the team’s first scrimmage?

The team seems to be coming together since the death of Sam Foltz and there were quite a few positive stories coming out of camp. This is likely the make or break year for Mike Riley. If the team struggles to win games again this year, the murmurs of concern are only going to get louder.

If on the other hand, the team can look like it learned its lesson from the prior season, it might be able to surprise some folks with just how much success it has.
