Weather looks good. Would probably go if I was in town.

Time for the Nebraska faithful to show the recruits what playing at Nebraska will be like as far as support goes. You will find no better fans at a football game than you will on game day in Lincoln. Yes we have some idiots who go way overboard in their zeal and alcohol consumption but they are a huge minority, thank God.

Just like every off-season for the last 20 years, this is one of the bigger games on the schedule

I’m excited to see the new guys & hope we show out nationally with a huge crowd

A lot of recruits with family standing on the East sideline.

Nice day for a spring game.

Um yeah. Silly. Grant would have been stopped 2 yards deep in the backfield if the defense were allowed to hit the backs. The defender tapped him instead of tackling him and assumed they would blow it dead. Good to see the burst he has, but he was a dead duck if we were going live.

Nice run by Grant..

The coaching staff just wants to get out of this game relatively healthy.

From a game watching perspective if I was at the game…I would be a little disappointed with the tackling rules.

It’s just the spring game, but Grant appears to have the vision, patience and jump cut / make defender miss ability that we have not had since Abdullah. Hopefully he’s the real deal. Just feels like since Abdullah left, all of our RBs just run straightforward with minimal ability to create their own yards

Going to lose fan attendance to spring games and a recruiting opportunity if you keep doing this no tackling crap. How many serious injuries have ever happened at a spring game anyways?

Sounds like they'll tackle in the 2nd half to give the backups a chance to show what they can do. I can understand the touch on the QBs but not tackling the RBs and WRs makes ZERO sense to me.

This isn’t the recipe winning the Big 10 West by touch football..

I can see protecting the QB but we need to be physical…

It really handicaps the RBs imo. Smothers was going to blind side drilled on that play if it wasn't touch.
