Mike Riley Confirms 5 Suspensions For Nebraska In Season Opener, Givens Price Moves To Defensive Tackle

The Nebraska Cornhuskers had a odd day, and things got more odd after the end of the Thursday evening practice.

Earlier, I told you about the Portland Tribune article, mainly about 5 players being suspended for the opener vs. the BYU Cougars on September 5th. Tonight, Head Coach Mike Riley confirmed there would be suspensions. However, there were no names.

Mike Riley confirms 5 #Huskers will be suspended for the 1st game, won't tell us names, or give us a timetable as to when he will.

It's good that Riley, who wasn't supposed to talk to the media tonight after practice, owned up to the piece.
