Will Honas wasn't ready to call the torn ACL he suffered last season a blessing in disguise. But now, with another year in Nebraska's system and another year of eligibility, the junior inside linebacker is ready to put the past behind him.
"Year 2 is definitely a big jump, just from seeing everybody play and seeing myself play," Honas said Tuesday. "There's always things you can fix, whether it's technique or just knowing the scheme. It makes it a lot easier the more you know it, and you can play faster the more you know it."
After coming to Nebraska as a heralded recruit as the top-ranked junior college linebacker in the country, Honas played four games last season before suffering a torn ACL against Purdue in Nebraska's fourth game of the season.
