Around SBN: Exclusive Interview with Offensive Line Coach Gregg Smith Bar-right-arrows



2008 Nebraska Spring Game: For What Will We Cheer?

The first play of the first spring game with new head coach Bill Callahan in 2004 was a play-action pass. Joe Dailey reared back and threw the ball deep. Husker fans cheered loudly and the pass fell incomplete. Perhaps it was a foreshadow of Callahan’s reign at Nebraska.

Seems like a long time ago.

This Saturday we’ll have the first play of the new Bo Pelini era, Husker Extra hints that it’s "special".  I find myself wondering what we’ll cheer for - and I don't mean your usual 70,000 person loud cheer, I mean that thing that makes us all stand up and roar.

Since it’s a sell-out it and the teams are evenly matched, it should have the feel of a true game day. Thank you God for that feeling.

Poll
For What Will We Cheer?
  • A good open field tackle
  • An interception or a turnover by either defense
  • A long run by Roy Helu, Marlon Lucky, or Quentin Castille which includes running over a defensive player
  • A long pass play
  • The fact that Bo Pelini is our coach - that is, however the teams take the field will result in the loudest cheer

I'm hoping to see a little of everything...

I'll probably cheer the loudest when the team returns to the field.  But I might cheer louder if we see one of those special plays.  It's a scrimmage, so I want to see a well played game, and if someone makes an incredible play, I may scream even louder.
