The Red Team’s Travis Vokolek (83) fends off the tackle of Jackson Hannah in the first quarter of the Red-White Spring Game on May 1 at Memorial Stadium.
Good Saturday morning. Parker Gabriel and Steven M. Sipple give three keys to the game for Nebraska as it gears up for Fordham.
Welcome to Memorial Stadium, where Nebraska takes on Fordham at 11 a.m. on Big Ten Network.
It’s an overcast morning and much different temperature-wise than last week when the temperature pushed past 100 degrees at Illinois. It’s sitting at 66 degrees as of 9:15 a.m.
Here are some other pregame observations: Nebraska’s tight ends were out for early warmups and, while junior Travis Vokolek is here, it does not appear he’ll play today.
The Springfield, Missouri, native was hurt in the middle of preseason camp and it looks like he’ll miss his second straight game to start the season.
* A couple of defensive linemen remain out, too. Casey Rogers, Mosai Newsom and Colton Feist are all in street clothes.
* Nebraska has a printed depth chart on its pregame materials and Logan Smothers is listed as the No. 2 quarterback.
* Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts was on the field before the game, shaking hands and talking with the families of recruits who were on the sideline watching warmups. He also had a quick chat with head coach Scott Frost out around midfield.
* No surprises here, but there are going to be a lot more players in uniform today than the 74-man travel roster from last week. Early players on the field include the three freshman receivers Kamonte Grimes, Latrell Neville and Shawn Hardy; tight end Chancellor Brewington; running backs Marvin Scott and Jaquez Yant; and defensive backs Tamon Lynum and Nadab Joseph, among others.
