Commentary

Christopherson

No one cared about that score. They cared what their eyeballs told them about the quarterbacks, though.

Washut

Instead of potentially creating some separation going into the summer, it seemed like the Spring Game only clouded the picture at quarterback even further.

HuskerOnline
Keeler

The good outweighed the bad by miles. Especially where Martinez was concerned.

Hardesty

There was still an abundance of mistakes, specifically nine penalties, but there were also many flashes of potential.

Daily Nebraskan
Vogel

The main takeaway was that this isn’t a revival at all, but a reimagining of Nebraska football.

Callahan

The 28 yard run by wide receiver Tyjon Lindsey was the first time I felt we ever saw him look like the guy we knew back in high school.

The missteps and mental errors seen here on Saturday are a reminder of the work that still lies ahead.

Dienhart

More than anything, today was a tease—a spring game dressed up as and a pep rally to prime the pump of possibilities

Stryker

It was a feel-good day for fans ... maybe even a healing day for hardcore Huskers who had their love for their team tested to the limit last fall.

Sipple

It's a three-man race, but Gebbia and Martinez were on the Red team with the best receivers and linemen for a reason. They're the clubhouse leaders.

A quick review by the untrained eye on Saturday: The Huskers have to get bigger to compete in the Big Ten. Big boy football has to return.

Martinez probably comes away from the spring game with the annual 'spring game hype' award.

Husker Mike

With Stanley Morgan and J.D. Spielman sitting out the game, it was time for McQuitty and JUCO transfer Mike Williams to shine...and shine they did.

In my opinion, the best thing about Frost this past week was sharing his private thoughts with Husker Nation about how much he misses Brook Berringer and the impact he had on the entire team.

This Fixer Upper won’t be done in an hour. But from what we saw, it should be a ton of fun.
