Opportunity Knocks for Nebraska’s Younger Receivers
With Zavier Betts gone and Marcus Washington injured, there are opportunities for Nebraska's younger wide receivers to step up.
"We have some young wideouts who are very talented and explosive, and they're going to get a chance," offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield said after Monday's practice.
True freshmen face a daunting learning curve, but two of them in particular have caught Satterfield's attention: "You look at Jaylen Lloyd and [Jaidyn] Doss, those guys have made some plays."
Satterfield also elaborated on the offense's struggles during Saturday's scrimmage. "Those young kids got in the stadium for the first time," he said. "The play clock, real officials, getting players on and off the field, getting personnel groupings on and off the field. At times early on, we struggled with that. ... I told them, 'It's easy to lock up right there and not be able to perform,' but they got better as the scrimmage went on and made some plays later."
