NU stressing speed
Journal Star Blog-
Senior free safety Andrew Shanle offered a glimpse of what's going on during Nebraska's summer conditioning program, which is closed to the media.
"We’re doing a lot of speed drills," he said. "We’ve always done a lot of agility stuff. But we’ve bumped up the speeds that we run. I think Coach (Dave) Kennedy realizes what our potential is this year. If he asks us to do a little more, and we do it, everyone has a little more confidence in what we can do."
Shanle -- unsolicited -- said he likes the team’s overall cohesiveness, saying newcomers are fitting in well.
"You’d think everyone’s been friends for the last four years," he said. "We’ve done a great job of keeping the family . . . It’s different than it was when I came in (in 2002). There aren't cliques on the team. It’s not offense separate from the defense. You’re not just a little scumbag freshman.
"That’s how it was before, at least from my perspective. You just kind of knew your place. But these days, you know, anyone can play. The freshman we have are more mature. They’re very talented guys, so we see everyone as an asset to the team . . . We want everyone to contribute."
