You can hear the quiet.
Football fans know what I'm talking about. It's striking. Sort of spooky.
During a pandemic, with a limited amount or no fans in stadiums across the country, the quiet is profound.
Nebraska defensive coordinator Erik Chinander had that quiet in mind Tuesday as he fielded questions from reporters during a Zoom session. He'll address the subject of stadium silence with his players more as the Oct. 24 opener at sixth-ranked Ohio State draws closer.
"We haven't stressed it to them as much yet, but when we get to the Big Ten season, we're going to go into Memorial Stadium and there's going to be whatever they let us have — zero to 500 people," Chinander said.
