The statistics show it is the safest turf to play on, and we think it is the safest of all surfaces. The players really liked the field today and it held up well. Solich was impressed with the group's performance in the physical testing and during this morning's workout, which consisted of group meetings, similar to a walk-through. The players did not run much during drills, learning the various drills and offensive and defensive formations, but the Husker Head Coach was satisfied with his team's progress. They will be a little tired after the afternoon workout.
Some players have things to work on, such as starts, and acceleration, but that happens every year.
All these guys have a chance to play football here. Some will play a little sooner than others. After watching them run and test, I think it is a very good group. Some of these players will have a chance to be on the varsity. It is a matter of getting as much coaching to them as early as we can.
