We don’t know how the Big Ten Conference will handle COVID-19
Handling COVID-19 in 2020 included postponing the season before bringing it back with a conference-only schedule. Once the season did begin, a complex metric of positivity rates was used to decide if games would even be played. Players were also held out a certain number of days for a positive test or close contact.
Nebraska missed out on playing Wisconsin when the Badgers went onto a program pause, and most teams lost out on at least one game. No non-conference games were allowed to replace lost contests. That means we missed out on the possible Nebraska-UT Chattanooga matchup.
These are players I’ll be watching closely:
QB Heinrich Haarberg – The Kearney native may have the best arm talent on the team.
RB Gabe Irvin – The freshman could be Nebraska’s most complete back right now.
WR Omar Manning – Will the talented JUCO transfer put on another show in front of the fans?
WR Samori Toure – The Montana transfer broke a Randy Moss playoff record. How many others on NU’s roster can say something like that?
TE Austin Allen – The staff feels like he’s one of the top overall players on this roster right now.
OLB Pheldarius Payne – He has arguably made the biggest jump of any player from last season.
