The Nebraska football team concluded their spring practices with the annual spring game on Saturday afternoon.  The starters were split up between teams so the competition was pretty good.  The red team led by Joe Ganz beat the White team 24-14.

Ganz threw for 131 yards and two touchdowns against the white team defense.  Ganz hooked up with Curenski Gilleylen on a 77 yard touchdown.

Patrick Witt and Zac Lee both had decent days as well for the Huskers.  Witt took most of the snaps so I assume he is the clear leader for the #2 spot over Lee at this point.  Witt completed 6-of-12 pass attempts for 61 yards. He was intercepted one time.  Lee completed 6-of-11 attempts for 87 yards and a touchdown.

At the running back position, Marlon Lucky ran for 37 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.  Quentin Castille ran for 47 yards and also caught two balls for 55 yards.  Roy Helu finished the game with 67 yards and one touchdown while Marcus Mendoza ran for 33 yards and caught a 24-yard pass for a touchdown.

Prince Amukamara and Armando Murillo made eight tackles to each for the red team.  Amukamara forced a fumble and Murillo and an interception as well.  Colton Koehler led the Whites with six tackles.

Coach Pelini said after the game that there is still plenty of work that needs to get done to get ready for next season.  Hopefully all the kids take it serious this summer during off season conditioning and they come out ready to play in August!

GO BIG RED
