LINCOLN — Last we saw Drew Brown, he was walking off the Memorial Stadium field in tears after Nebraska’s 56-14 loss to Iowa.
The realization that 4-8 Nebraska wouldn’t play in a bowl game to end his career was washing over Brown on the unseasonably warm afternoon.
But since then, the kicker has taken advantage of the longer-than-usual winter break. He graduated, spent the bowl season in the Cayman Islands and Christmas weekend with family in western Nebraska, spent a few days back home in Dallas and stopped in Lincoln a few times.
“It’s been fun to just kinda relax a little bit,” Brown said from Dallas last week.
