Friday Flakes: Jojo Domann Among Top 5 Returning Linebackers in College Football

Impressive for Jojo Domann. After seeing some of his testing numbers they may be right. He’s an impressive athlete at almost 240 pounds.

Reminds me of me. Wait...not it doesn’t. At. All.

Husker Polling: Who will lead NU rushing attack to start year?
As you consider Nebraska's running backs, and what you've heard and even seen in glimpses from the running game this spring, we humbly submit today's Husker Polling topic.

We're asking you not for a season prediction in this case, but an out-of-the-gate prediction. Which Husker will lead the team in rushing after the first three games (at Illinois, Fordham, Buffalo). Things may change as the season rolls along, sure. But who do you think Nebraska is most likely to turn to at the start of 2021 to try get that run attack rolling?

As the sequence that saved the game and the weekend for Nebraska unfolded, the only thing Cam Chick thought about was backing up third base.

Most potential walk-offs happen quickly, but this one dawdled in doubt for 12 seconds in a contest deadlocked at 6-6 in the bottom of the 12th inning Monday. With a man on first base and two outs, a Rutgers hitter landed a ball in the gap in right-center field. NU centerfielder Jaxon Hallmark chased it down, spun and threw in as the runner sped past third.
