Go Big Read: Nebraska football’s running back situation is a mystery and other kernels
There are several questions marks when it comes to Nebraska football and the running back position, plus other kernels in today’s Go Big Read.
No one seems to know for sure who is going to be the starting running back for the Nebraska football team. No one really knows what Scott Frost’s plans for what the starting running back will do either.
That’s not necessarily bad news. Now that Maurice Washington is on campus, just who will be the featured back became a bigger question mark this fall camp. You guys remember Tre Bryant right?
The back who got off to one of the hottest starts in recent Nebraska football memory before being sidelined for the final 10 games? It looks like he’s back for fall camp.
Read about that and other kernels in this morning’s Go Big Read:
