Red Report: Washington's 'spectacular' plays; Gifford rising; roster updates; turnover talk

The Maurice Washington hype train is rolling downhill and it’s unclear when the brakes will be tested.

The latest in a long line of Nebraska football folks to praise the freshman running back: The head coach himself.

“We’re glad to have Mo. He had a long road to get here,” Frost said Friday morning after NU’s seventh preseason camp practice. “But he’s had probably a dozen big plays, spectacular plays already in this camp.

“He’s definitely opening some eyes and I think he’s got a bright future here.”

Washington only arrived on campus from San Jose, California on Aug.
