Trajectory Changing Freshman Contributions in the Nebraska Game.

The following freshmen got their first meaningful snaps against Nebraska and contributed significantly towards our win:

Tommy Tofi LT went in a left guard in the 4th quarter and immediately we could run to the left inside again.

Brandon Smith RB had the best yards per carry of our RBs by a mile, somewhat due to better circumstances, but he clearly has a different running style with much more explosive one step change of direction than Davison and Hill.

Devin Jackson Safety who had solid tackles and no coverage breakdowns filling in for Flowers alongside Benjamin.

Jalen Lott WR many clutch plays and is immediately the best at getting separation on this team. Likely to be more productive than Stewart has been assuming he can get and stay healthy. He's the next Tez Johnson.

Bair is turning into a special teams nightmare on kick coverage for opposing teams. He has struggled to be effective as a WR so far, but hopefully he continues to develop there.

Anybody else I missed?
