Huskers Move Inside Championship Indoor Center

Nebraska continued its practice for the Alamo Bowl with a two-hour workout on Friday afternoon, and for the first time in a full team practice the Huskers utilized the new ChampionshipIndoorCenter for the workout.

 

Husker players have been inside the building on several previous occasions for conditioning workouts and developmental practices, but had not had a full team workout in the ChampionshipIndoorCenter until Friday.

 

Defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove addressed the media following practice and discussed a Michigan offense that will present Nebraska with a stern test. He specifically discussed Wolverine sophomore quarterback Chad Henne.

 

“He was a freshman All-American last year,” Cosgrove said. “He is an outstanding quarterback. He has a strong arm and gets the ball out quickly.”

 

Cosgrove also compliment Michigan wide receiver Jason Avant, who leads the team with 74 receptions, calling the senior a “big-time receiver”.

 

Nebraska will continue its early preparations for the Dec. 28 Alamo Bowl against Michigan this weekend. The Huskers will work out early Saturday afternoon and will hit the practice field again on Sunday, before taking Monday off. Nebraska is set to depart for San Antonio on Friday, Dec. 23.
