Game days haven t always been fun for Wyatt Liewer.
This was before Liewer scored his first touchdown for the Huskers and sent his hometown of O Neill into a tizzy last weekend. Before most NU fans and national broadcasters learned his last name was pronounced LEE-ver and didn t rhyme with sewer.
In the fall of 2018, Liewer was one of about 20 freshman walk-ons just thrilled to be on the team under new coach Scott Frost. And Saturday mornings before kickoffs, they were the ones getting in extra weightlifting sessions while older Huskers prepared to play. There were some hard-working dudes in there, Liewer said this week.
