Lincoln, Neb. --- The Nebraska football team practiced for just over two hours in full pads on Tuesday. The Huskers worked both on the Ed and Joyanne Gass practice fields as well as the Hawks Championship Center.
Defensive Coordinator Bob Diaco addressed the media after practice, commenting on the process of selecting Blackshirts for his first time and what it means to be a Blackshirt.
“[It was a] pretty clear, pretty clean process,” Diaco said. “It’s a really exciting tradition, it’s pretty awesome that young people, young men in particular that we are talking about here, aspire to be and their goal is to carry the burden of accountability and responsibility of defending the hopes and dreams of the team, the university and the state of Nebraska.
