The Nebraska football team has come to lean pretty heavily on freshman wide receiver JD Spielman. That’s why even Mike Riley is holding out hope his playmaker is going to be ready on Friday, even if he hasn’t practiced all week.
While some players would be ruled out of a game in two days if they haven’t practiced, Spielman has been too big an impact on an offense that has struggled more often than not. With this being the last game of the year, Husker coaches are willing to let him on the field if at all possible.
