Watch: Virtual Spring Game 2020
You can watch or rewatch the 2020 Nebraska football virtual spring game and associated features below, plus check out coverage […]www.huskermax.com
My initial thoughts are that this a really nice marketing tool & kind of wonder if it has some useful recruiting application too.
No idea why Rex Burkhead was picked over Roger Craig.
If you read what I wrote above, I felt the same way about Andra Franklin and Tom Rathman being left out as I personally believe that those were the two best true Fullbacks to have ever worn a Nebraska uniform. With that said, Burkhead stacks up very well against Roger Craig, so that isn't much of a reach to me. Somebody had to be left out, and I'm pretty sure that they tried to highlight more recent players whenever possible while mixing in the most famous national award winners to present the best possible lineup for marketing the current program. If you were to include Craig, how do you leave out Calvin Jones or Bobby Reynolds? Calvin Jones, especially, has the career stats to stack up with anybody who wasn't in the game, and he edges out Burkhead in some categories. If you dig even deeper, Roy Helu, Jr., Marlon Lucky, Keith Jones, Derek Brown, Ken Clark, and Jeff Kinney had better career and/or single season stats than Roger Craig. Burkhead is the only one of these guys (not including Ameer) who is presently still playing in the NFL, which is more appealing to a teenage boy.
Same thing on the defensive side of the ball. Prior to Barrett Ruud's breakout seasons, Lee Kunz's '77 season was the most tackles in Nebraska history, and Clete Pillen had 2 of the 5 best seasons ever as far as tackles before Barrett Ruud showed up. I was also always a big fan of Mike Knox and Steve Damkroger, who had stats and careers that were definitely worthy of consideration, but those names don't resonate with fans younger than 50. They likely mean less to a teenage boy who is still learning about Nebraska football.
If the game was at least mildly entertaining to Nebraska fans while also portraying the program and its history positively to potential recruits, it was a success. I think it was.

Warren can sing. That was impressive. I'd like to see that go viral, too.
Pretty sure they were not, because they weren't holding the correct controllers.I didn't catch where it was Cam Taylor-Britt and Wan'Dale Robinson at the controls there at the end
Huskers hold virtual spring game
On the day where 90,000 fans were supposed to fill Memorial Stadium for the annual red-white spring game, a virtual game was streamed online instead. The two rosters were filled with former Nebraska greats. The two starting quarterbacks were Eric Crouch and Tommie Frazier.www.wowt.com
I'm pretty sure Cam was playing the White squad.
It was a great idea to suggest that's what happened though.
Uh, OK. Thx.Pretty sure they were not, because they weren't holding the correct controllers.
As opposed to the great significance of a real Spring game?
Hope he shows his players he’s still a bad ass.
who was DC, Cosgrove or Diaco?
