Go Big Read: Nebraska football zeroing in on a center? And other kernels
Is the Nebraska football team zeroing in on a starting center? It looks like it’s gonna be a bit and other interesting kernels around the web.
The Nebraska football team starts its fall camp next Wednesday. One of the big questions the team is going to be facing as that camp continues is “who is going to replace Mike Decker?”
Decker was the starting center last year before he was injured. This spring he announced he was retiring from football.
The Cornhuskers spent the spring trying to figure out who will fill Decker’s shoes. That search is likely going to last throughout the fall. As we are close to practices starting, thoughts about who could fit the bill have started to surface.
