'Night at the Lied' Rewarding For Kitrell

Here’s how an average day unfolded for Nebraska running back Bo Kitrell, a senior walk-on from Ashland, during the fall semester.

For starters, Kitrell is an early riser. Like, 4:45 a.m. type of early. Then he’d read from his Bible, eat a little breakfast and sneak in some studying before football meetings at 6:30 or 7, depending on the day of the week.

After meetings, Kitrell would lift, and then have practice for the remainder of the morning. He’d get lunch, and between noon and 4:30 p.m., he’d be in class. Then more football meetings, dinner, and a bigger study time until about 9 p.
