Fullback Judd Davies was among those who missed the scrimmage; he was taking a medical school entrance exam. Others missing because of injuries included defensive linemen Le Kevin Smith and Jason Lohr, whose absence provided an opportunity for true freshman Brandon Teamer.
The Omaha Central graduate has been impressive and will not be redshirted. \"He will be a player for us this season,\" said Solich. \"He's a legitimate player. We'll move forward with him.\"
Teamer had the highest performance index in freshman testing last week.
\"I don't know if I can ever remember a defensive lineman having the best performance index,\" defensive line coach Jeff Jamrog said. \"He has the makings of a very special player.
\"Right now we're planning on him playing (without redshirting).\"
For a young player to contribute requires \"a combination of things,\" said Solich. He has to be strong-willed and physically strong, and he had better be able to get himself in condition.
