In just his third practice this spring, Bo Pelini already is sending a clear message to his players.  Physical contact is required.  Saturday the Huskers worked out in FULL PADS in MEMORIAL STADIUM.  According to the Lincoln Journal Star,  Bo Pelini liked the effort he was seeing.

I thought the tempo was good. It was physical. We made a lot of strides the first three days, especially defensively. They’ve got a lot to learn. But the tempo’s good, the effort’s good.

The practice was viewed by over 500 kids from age 8 to the eighth grade and afterward they were treated to their own tunnel walk and individual drills with members of the football team.  Pelini hit the nail on the head when he had this to say.

Obviously the fans and the people of this state are huge in our program, and it starts with the kids at this age.

That was a well said statement by Pelini and it shows how much we need the Shanle, Mackovicka, Schlessinger, Leggette, and Tomich kids of tomorrow to have a successful program in the future.
