• PRAISED: True freshman Andrew Green apparently has performed well at cornerback lately. Defensive coordinator Carl Pelini mentioned his name Thursday during a discussion about potential contributors at that position.
• HEARD: “No, it's not even worth asking. To us, that's part of our philosophy, that Blackshirts are earned on the field. You'd be hard-pressed to find any coach in favor of giving them out before we've played a game and kind of showed what we can do.” — Carl Pelini, commenting on the timetable for issuing Blackshirts to the first-team defense.
• UP NEXT: Nebraska will practice again this afternoon. It's expected to be a physically demanding session, perhaps the closest the Huskers will be to game-like conditions until Sept. 5.
— Jon Nyatawa
