Nebraska football practiced in full pads for the first time since the spring outside of the Hawks Championship Center this morning.
Offensive coordinator Troy Walters said the team brought the energy out to the field today.
“Guys stepped on that field ready to go,” Walters said. “Anytime you put full pads on there’s that extra juice. There was a part of it where we made it live for two or three plays. Guys got after it, so it was good to see that when we throw the pads on, we don’t take a step back, and that is very encouraging.”
Walters said that running back Tre Bryant is "a full go" and back at practice after having last season derailed by a knee injury.
