Wednesday's Practice Report: How Will Nebraska Replace Demornay Pierson-El?

The Nebraska Cornhuskers worked out for less than 2 hours on Thursday afternoon, and Defensive Coordinator Mark Banker was joined by Head Coach Mike Riley for post practice questions.

The first thing on everyone's mind is who would replace All-American Punt Returner De'mornay Pierson-El. Special Teams coach Bruce Read gave us the answer.
