Just for a moment on Saturday afternoon, Nebraska’s football coaches — assuming they were tuned into NBC — likely held their collective breath.
One of the Huskers’ prized signees, Wandale Robinson, hauled in a catch up the seam during the second half of the All-American Bowl in San Antonio, but took a vicious hit and was in clear pain when he hit the turf.
Not only that, but the player who delivered the blow was perhaps NU’s top remaining recruiting target for the class: Four-star defensive back Noa Pola-Gates (Gilbert, Arizona), who was also shaken up on the play.
