The story of Nebraska’s 2021 annual Red-White Spring Game on Saturday had already been written before the opening kickoff.
For the first time since Nov. 29, 2019, fans were back in the stands of Memorial Stadium after last season’s COVID-19 disruption.
It wasn’t a packed house, as ticket sales were capped at 75 percent capacity, and 36,406 fans made it out for the game.
But that didn’t keep the Huskers’ spring scrimmage from being an emotional relative return to normalcy for coaches, players, and fans alike.
As for the game itself, the Red squad – featuring the majority of the projected starters on both sides of the ball – jumped out to a 13-0 lead but saw the White rally back and win it on a 25-yard touchdown pass as time expired, 21-20.

Saturday’s annual Red-White Spring Game will feature plenty of familiar players back on both sides of the ball for Nebraska this year.
But a handful of new faces have emerged this spring as potential names to keep an eye on going into the season.
Here are five Huskers to watch that could make some noise during NU’s spring game…

The Nebraska Athletic Department has released information for fans about the upcoming spring game. The entire release has been cut and pasted below. because I’m not going to re-write it. I am merely being a messenger, getting the word out to as many HUSKER FANS as possible in order to reduce confusion about what’s going on this weekend.
Some key items:
32,500 tickets have been sold. Let’s get our asses in gear here. Get out and enjoy yourselves with other Husker fans. If you’re one of those “they’re going to have to prove it” people, and plan to be negative and crabby, then stay the fuck at home. This is a celebration of fun and togetherness for Big Red Believers, dammit. If you want to be a fun-killing jackass, please just remove yourself from everyone’s presence.
