This morning it was Carl Pelini’s turn to speak at the Big Red Breakfast in Omaha.

Pelini called the preparations for ISU “the best week of practice I may have ever had as a coach.” The highlight was the 20-minute team portion starting Tuesday where the Huskers matched their first-team units.

“We stretched and we did a little individual, and when we came together for that period it was the fastest, most violent, physical period I’ve ever seen in a practice,” Pelini said. “I turned around and looked at Bo and went, ‘Hmmm. How about that?’ Look what’s going on out there. I’m thinking to myself, ‘Boy, this is Tuesday.’ That is a great indicator of where we’re headed.”
