Another week of practice is underway for the Nebraska Cornhuskers as they continue to prepare for the August 27th opener against the Northwestern Wildcats in Dubin, Ireland. Still, in the early days of the season, both offensive and defensive units are still installing the schemes and finalizing their depth charts.
The coaching staff, led by head coach Scott Frost, continues to say positive things about the team early in the campaign. On offense, Coordinator Mark Whipple discussed the progress of the quarterbacks on Monday, saying…
“We threw a lot at them… I probably made a mistake last week during camp… we had so much time, we were excited… I really wore them out. So I’m backing off a little.
We had a really good summer. Really good summer of just going over the things they can see themselves both in the throw game and the run game… I’ve seen the offense take a step forward.
You can see the difference now… they know when they’ve made a mistake. That’s when you see you’re making progress… we’ve limited mistakes and made some progress.”
You expect to hear good things about this team early in camp. However, the questions about the 2022 Cornhuskers will only be answered once we start the games on August 27th. So stay tuned to Cornhusker Wire as we’ll begin publishing our player profiles and position group breakdowns as the season-opening kickoff approaches.
