Even with the obvious attraction being the quarterback battle, it still couldn't hurt to have a guide to the Nebraska football spring game. Here are five things to watch for on Saturday:
Sam Keller vs. Joe Ganz:
A quarterback battle that has gained national attention will be on public display for the first time at the spring game. Though the game won't cement anything, it should give a good indication of where the race stands. Watch Keller's decision making. Will his habit of forcing passes into double coverage, which was considered his greatest weakness at Arizona State, follow him here? Don't be surprised if Ganz uses his feet to make a statement, buying time in the backfield and turning it upfield. His speed is a strength that none of the other quarterbacks can match.
New D-Line:
How good is the defensive line? It will be hard to say against the offensive line's second string. Senior linebackers Bo Ruud and Steve Octavien will also be blitzing around the corners to compensate for the lack of junior Barry Turner, who's out with a shoulder injury, at defensive end. Junior Zach Potter has excelled on special teams - can he make the transition to defensive starter?
Lucky On Display:
Senior Kenny Wilson is out through next year. Junior Cody Glenn is nursing a foot injury, and there's no telling how many snaps he could take. Junior Marlon Lucky will take the majority of snaps in the spring game - a trend that could carry into next season. Lucky has been impressive in practice, and without former Cornhusker Brandon Jackson taking the lead, this could be Lucky's breakout season.
Veterans in Back:
The linebackers are the most experienced group on the football team, and the secondary has a considerable amount of game experience under their belts. They will be the life force of the defense next season and will have to clean up after a potentially sloppy, inexperienced defensive line.
Kickers:
Jake Wesch? He's the likely candidate right now, but redshirt freshman Alex Henery still has a shot. It's been a while since Nebraska had a stable kicker. Jordan Congdon earned freshman All-American honors his first season in 2005 but saw very limited playing time last year prior to transferring to USC. Junior Wesch and Henery don't have the hype Congdon came in with, but one of them will end up with the starting job.
