Lincoln, NE - The Husker football team started their spring practice schedule on Saturday.  All of this work will culminate on April 6th for Nebraska's annual spring game.

It's a great time for coaches to develop younger players and take a closer look at established players.  It also gives the coaches a chance to tinker with their lineups and how they use certain players.

Imani Cross has slimmed down by about 10 pounds.  Head Coach Bo Pelini wanted to see what he would look like with a little less weight.  There's no certanty that he will stay at this weight, but it could help him add speed and give him an extra dimension.  He could also see a bigger role this season.  Last year he was mostly utilized in goaline and short yardage situations.
