Red Report: Liewer revisits touchdown; playcalling dynamic; Blackshirts stay with starters | Football



The jerseys, handed out to Nebraska’s starters a few weeks ago, have stayed with those players. That policy, Chinander said, came after talking to former Huskers on how to handle the tradition.

“It’s kind of more of a unit mentality as far as holding each other accountable, holding the other groups accountable. (We) don’t want to water it down by adding whole bunch more,” Chinander said. “Obviously I wasn’t here when it started, I wasn’t here when Jason Peter and Grant Wistrom were here. So I kind of bend their ear a little bit and get some input.

“Having the starting unit have those shirts, and having the starting unit set a different tempo out there in holding people accountable is a good thing, I think.”

Pola-Gates, Gifford poised for larger roles: With redshirt freshman Myles Farmer out for the rest of the season after suffering a pregame injury against Purdue, Chinander said young players Noa Pola-Gates and Isaac Gifford are next in line to fill Farmer’s role.

“Noa Pola-Gates is ready to roll, Isaac Gifford’s ready to roll at the safety spot. And the other guys truly embrace — just like they did when Collin (Miller) went down — that when you lose a brother, then you play harder for them,” Chinander said. “And if you think you can’t play one more, or if you’re too tired, you just think about them not being able to go out there and it’ll propel you through that series.
