Sean Beckton said Nebraska tight ends are now the quarterback's first read on pass plays more often than they have been. 

With so many changes in the program during the offseason, and so much pressure on Scott Frost's program, Nebraska really could use stability at the quarterback position. That said, it could help Casey Thompson if he feels heat from another QB on the team. 

Nebraska’s spring football session closed out Saturday the way it normally does around here, with walk-ons making plays at the tail end of the Red-White Spring Game at Memorial Stadium.

More than anything, Saturday was a day for observations. So, without further ado, here’s a whole batch from Parker Gabriel.

A crowd in the 50,000 range is expected for the Red-White Spring Game. Let's see how many programs top that number. Maybe one or two. Maybe a handful. Maybe none. 

We've heard about Casey Thompson's leadership, and the way he is connecting with teammates. Saturday, the public will get a first look at the on-field portion of his acclimation.

The Mark Whipple/Scott Frost "marriage" of offensive minds will be a point of intrigue this fall. On Saturday, we get a glimpse. 

Mark Whipple’s offenses have typically featured a go-to player, and at this early juncture, Trey Palmer is likely the leader in the clubhouse.

Dylan Raiola, son of all-time Nebraska great Dominic Raiola, holds offers from most of the nation’s top programs. On Saturday, he will be in Lincoln.

Nebraska senior receiver Oliver Martin says he had "mild depression" last autumn because of a nagging knee injury that slowed him considerably.
