Commentary

Vogel

I come out of this spring game ... thinking this 2016 team will be a little bit better than last year’s team.

Hail Varsity
Johnston

Would you rather have three running backs that are relatively equal in capability, or one that was outstanding?

Corn Nation
Dixon

Armstrong reminded us all that he just might be the best ball-carrier the program has.

Daily Nebraskan
Chatelain

If all goes well in his development, O’Brien will look back at the 2016 spring game and laugh at his interception – and his emotional response.

Omaha World-Herald
Shatel

What Saturday and this spring showed us is what we probably already knew: Armstrong is the guy this fall.

Sipple

Bottom line, Nebraska just might have something going on offense.
