Husker spring game features simulation

The annual Nebraska Cornhuskers Red and White spring game will have a twist this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions.

On Saturday, April 18, Nebraska Athletics will stream a video game simulation, based in Memorial Stadium and Tom Osborne Field.

Husker football legends will fill both squads.

The stream will be live on the Huskers Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as the Husker FBNation Twitch channel. Audio from Learfield IMG College/Husker Sports radio network will be played.

According to the University of Nebraska Athletic Office, "the game will be played to unite Husker Nation and honor the brave men and women of Nebraska and across this great country who are on the front line fighting the COVID-19 pandemic."

Husker fans will be able to download #GBRUnited avatars and profile pictures to participate in the first-ever digital sea of red leading up to the game. Information will be available at huskers.com/GBRUnited.
