Dani Busboom Kelly will get her first chance to shine at the Spring Game in Ord in less than a week. So what changes has the former Louisville coach made to how things work at Nebraska? Harper Murray and Bergen Reilly had the answer.

Harper Murray divulged some details while speaking to the media ahead of their spring game. “Some of the drills are pretty similar, but she does mix things up a little bit more than Coach,“ said Murray. One thing Kelly has focused on is sharpening the Huskers’ offense. “It’s just speeding things up a little bit. It’s been really fun,” the 20-year-old said.
