First it was a competition day last week that the Nebraska defense took from the offense down the stretch.
Husker head coach Scott Frost talked that day about wanting competitors and the fact that life has a scoreboard.
Then it was a Saturday scrimmage which, by all accounts, the defense won. Then Monday it took half a practice for the offense to hit its stride.
"When you take two days off, you’ve got to be able to come back on Saturday and the timing’s still got to be able to be there," running backs coach Ryan Held said.
