LINCOLN, Neb. -- Kyle Kasun gave up on football before he got to school last year at Nebraska.
A solid high school defensive back and receiver from Papillion, Nebraska, he turned down an invitation to walk on at South Dakota State and embraced life as a student in Lincoln. Kasun joined a fraternity. He reveled over his luck in scoring a roommate-free dorm room at Neihardt Hall.
He sat in the student section as the Cornhuskers played, though he did not often stay for the whole game.
When he made it to the end of the fourth quarter, Nebraska lost in the final seconds to Brigham Young and Wisconsin.
