Pads popped at North Stadium for the first time this March as the Nebraska football team got after it Thursday. Practice number three of the 15-workout spring portion of the season took just over 2 hours on the grass fields in Lincoln.
Continuing the schedule of media availability, offensive folks were made available to the media today after practice.
The biggest question that everyone wants to know is WHO IS LEADING THE QUARTERBACK RACE?!?
According to QB/OC coach Danny Langsdorf... no one.

OC Danny Langsdorf said Lee and POB are "evened up" in QB race. Lee had a good day Tuesday. POB today

Huh, so still an even battle between Tanner Lee and Patrick O’Brien. Darnit.
So, what will be the biggest factor in this race?

Tanner Lee spoke to the media for the first time since his transfer. He said good things about Nebraska!
Tanner Lee on how Husker football compares to what he's known in the past:" It's unmatched. Here, it's all football."

Tanner Lee on being a QB at Nebraska: Looking at Coach Langsdorf's type of QB, I fit that mold
— Channel 8 KLKN-TV (@Channel8ABC) March 10, 2017
Tanner Lee to the media: "I'm a good fit for the offense - a real good fit." #huskers

The mold, what exactly is the mold? Looking at Lee’s Tulane numbers, you tend to wince. However, enough people state how Lee was thrown into a tire fire, including his former coaches.
Speaking of speaking, Patrick O’Brien also spoke to the media today as well. This is abnormal in that normally freshmen do not speak to the media unless they participate in a game.
POB: "someone is always going to be open." Says he just needs to find that guy. #Huskers @WOWT6News

And...POB has now talked to media. Welcomes competition, appreciated RS season. #huskers
— Samuel McKewon (@swmckewonOWH) March 10, 2017
Well, at least Langs gave some clarity on the tight end spot, where Nebraska seems to be even greener.

Plus, the 2 early enrollee wideouts are trying to soak everything in.
Stanley Morgan Jr. said early enrollees Jaevon McQuitty and Keyshawn Johnson Jr. are asking him questions nonstop. Eager to learn. #Huskers

Considering the two are not at full speed right now, better for them to be mentally ready to go.
One guy that went full gas in this workout? Jerald Foster, here in this clip.
Get those pads popping.
