Reaction from Nebraska’s Wednesday morning practice

The season-opening kickoff is getting closer and closer.

Nebraska’s football practice on Wednesday morning was open to the local media, and social media reactions are pouring in. One of the most significant pieces of news today was former Texas Tech transfer Devin Drew officially being cleared by the Nebraska football staff for full participation in fall camp. The 6-2, 280-pound Defensive Lineman played in 20 games over the last two years and logged 55 total tackles and .5 sacks during his tenure as a Red Raider.

Reporters also saw head coach Scott Frost and offensive coordinator Mark Whipple working with the first team offense on read-option drills, which could be further proof that the Huskers will still be running the quarterback in 2022. There was also a Thomas Fidone sighting at the practice. The tight end was the top recruit at his position in 2020 and was the highest-rated recruit to sign with NU since 2008. The Iowa native suffered a knee injury before the 2021 season and is still rehabbing with medical staff. Scroll below to see social media reactions to Wednesday morning’s workout.

We are officially 17 days from the season-opening kickoff, in which Nebraska will face Northwestern in Dublin, Ireland. Stay tuned to Cornhuskers Wire for all the latest news!

Frost comments on another week of practice

Nebraska continues to prepare for its first team scrimmage!

Another week of practice is in the books for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. After Friday’s workout, Head Football Coach Scott Frost talked with the media on various subjects, including Saturday’s upcoming scrimmage, the development of the offense, and the current state of the team’s leadership.

The team continues to practice on a schedule of three days on the field and one day off the field and will continue on that rotation till it’s time to head across the Atlantic Ocean. It’s always good to hear from the Head Coach throughout the entire run of training camp, and we’ll hear more after Saturday’s scrimmage but don’t put too much stock into his comments. Coaches are almost always going to be overwhelmingly positive about the state of their squad, especially before any games have been played. Nonetheless, it is still good to hear from the man in charge.

Nebraska continues to prepare for the season opener in Week 0 of the college football season. On August 27th, they’ll take on the Northwestern Wildcats in Dublin, Ireland. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 am CST only on FOX.

Another week of practice underway for the Cornhuskers

Get a recap of the early August practice grind here!

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.
