On Saturday, the Big Ten Network brought its crew to Lincoln to check out the Nebraska football team. Check out their reactions to watching the Huskers.
The Nebraska football team is wrapping up its second week of fall camp. In order to memorialize the day, the Big Ten Network came to check out the Huskers and see how they were practicing.
It turns out the practices appear to be pretty good. Gerri DiNardo, Dave Revsine, Alex Roux and Howard Griffiths all seemed to be quite impressed with the level of talent and the intensity that was displayed in Lincoln.

One of the best reactions of the day, when talking about whether or not the new coaching staff is having an effect came from DiNardo. The analyst appears impressed by the offensive line.

I will take looking like the offensive lines of Penn State, Michigan State and Michigan all day long. Dinardo also had a glowing comment about the team in general.

A drastic transition is exactly what the Huskers need in 2018.
Get you an offensive coordinator who drops back in coverage like @CoachWalters1: pic.twitter.com/CmBTWmhXmr

The way the coaches are getting involved is obviously a big reason the team is looking better. There’s a new level of talent in town as well.
Maurice Washington is that dude! #HuskerNation

The players and the energy are just a few of the things the Big Ten Network crew saw. It’s also apparent that the team is implementing the system they’ve been asked to implement.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind. This is a network that benefits from the Huskers being good. Their viewers are Husker fans.
This isn’t ESPN or another independent coming in and saying these things. Keeping that in mind, you should take what they say with a massive spoonful of salt.
Thanks for having us, @HuskerFBNation! pic.twitter.com/M2tdq6N3IX

Still, the things the broadcast crew picked out seem to be things they genuinely noticed were different from the last few years. That means it could be a very special season for the Nebraska football team.
