Go Big Read: Stoltenberg looks like a leader for Nebraska football and other kernels

Nebraska football defensive lineman Mick Stoltenberg appears to be stepping up this fall. That and other kernels in this morning’s Go Big Read.

The Nebraska football team is going to need leaders this fall. On the offensive and defensive side of the ball, the Huskers are going to need people who will hold others accountable.

It’s easier on the offense because the quarterback tends to fall into the leadership role by default. On defense, there is usually a kind of open competition to find out who will step up.

Adam Krueger of 3NewsNow seems to think defensive lineman Mick Stoltenberg is indeed stepping into the leadership role. Check out that story and other kernels in today’s Go Big Read.
