Nebraska football players gathered at midfield at the Hawks Championship Center and took a knee. They’d just completed their first spring practice, around 8 a.m., or nearly 4 hours after most had arrived Friday.
Their new leader, Scott Frost, stood at front of the semicircle. He lauded players for their effort and enthusiasm, telling them how much better prepared they were than the last time Frost and his staff had a first practice, at Central Florida. He told them hard work is what makes a Nebraska football player.
To conclude, Frost instructed his team to get “active rest” over spring break, so as they don’t lose the physical gains they’ve made over the last eight weeks, and come back ready to go.
