Head coach Mike Riley met with the media on Wednesday and several Huskers stayed around for quick interviews about how fall camp is going during this week of two-a-day practices.

- Carlos Davis told reporters defensive line coach John Parrella has taken things up another notch during fall camp. The redshirt freshman said Parrella has been very vocal, letting his group know when things aren’t being done correctly or even, at times, when it’s not done perfectly.

- Davis said the scrimmage went well for him on Saturday. He recalled a third down where he was able to rip through the opposing guard and disrupt the timing on a pass play. Davis said he’s put quite a bit of focus on bringing different looks as a pass rusher throughout fall camp.

- Eric Lee said the biggest difference for him this fall camp is he’s brought better focus. The defender admitted to knowing he was going to redshirt, so he wasn’t as prepared last fall, as he should’ve been. This offseason though he said he spent a lot of time in the film room and then working with others for extra work.

- Lee isn’t sure what his role is going to be on defense - right now he said he’s either third or fourth among cornerbacks, but he’s planning to be very involved in special teams, including both coverage and return units.

- One thing Lee said the cornerback group has enjoyed this past spring and summer was the cutups of NFL guys that Brian Stewart has provided. The cornerback coach put together film of guys in the league, focusing on their footwork to help provide visuals for why he’s spending so much time on it with his group.

— Nebraska practiced in shorts and no helmets during Wednesday morning’s practice that was heavy on installation. Head coach Mike Riley said that Nebraska’s practice on Wednesday night would be in full pads and will focus on situations.

— Riley said Nebraska is pleased with the punting situation right now. He praised Isaac Armstrong, and praised Caleb Lightbourn’s talent and power. Riley said: “we’re still working them.”

— Nebraska has a number of options at kick returner, Riley said, noting that Terrell Newby, Tre Bryant, Mikale Wilbon, J.D. Spielman and Wyatt Mazour are all candidates to return kicks.

— Riley said at punt return the top candidates are De’Mornay Pierson-El, Jordan Westerkamp and Stanley Morgan. Riley said he thinks all three will likely do it during the season. Riley added that “everything looks good and feels good,” with Pierson-El.

— Riley said the focus and leadership with his team has been good. “I love this team,” Riley said.

— Wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp has been slowed by a groin injury this fall. Westerkamp said that he had surgery on the injury on the right side, and this issue is on the left and a different issue.

— Riley said that it doesn’t look like much will change with Tommy Armstrong as the starting quarterback and Ryker Fyfe as the primary backup. He said the third spot is still up for grabs between AJ Bush and freshman Patrick O’Brien. “Probably this week,” Riley said. “This is our football week. We’re going to look at it hard.”

— Riley said there are freshmen who won't redshirt, but he is waiting to reveal that as a group. Riley noted that the question of redshirting or not redshirting is one of the biggest questions left for the coming week.

— Senior linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey missed practice once again Wednesday. Riley said Rose-Ivey is still day-to-day.
