Related Topics: Heat index, Brian Lewerke

Husker Extra is running a series called Heat Index, a quick look at the Huskers before fall camp begins Aug. 3. This week, Parker Gabriel counts down the five best quarterbacks Nebraska is slated to face this fall.

Career stats: 277-of-474 (58.4 percent) for 3,174 yards, 22 touchdowns and eight interceptions plus 708 rushing yards (4.9 per carry) and five touchdowns.

Lewerke, a 6-foot-3, 212-pounder, has never faced Nebraska. He appeared in four games as a redshirt freshman in 2016 — a disappointing 3-9 campaign for Michigan State — before taking over as the full-time starter last fall.
