One of the backups got off the elevator in the Hawks Center sucking on a juice box. Grape flavor. White straw. The other was still on the practice field throwing a variety of passes to wideout Menelik Holt. Juice man walked.</blockquote> Samuel McKewon of Nebraska State Paper paints an interesting portrait of two players.

The elder Witt has averaged a call a day to the coaching staff since the Gator bowl looking for guarantees that his son will be the starter next season or he'd leave. Pelini called his bluff and processed the paperwork for dismissing him from his scholarship and faxed it to Witt's dad this afternoon. Witt is a victim of his dads antics.
