Nebraska has its annual Red-White Spring game on Saturday. The White team came out victorious with a 21-7 win.

During this spring game, the No. 1 offense and defense played each other. The top offense was in White and the top defense was in red. The second-string offense wore red and the second-string defense wore white.

With a new coaching staff, it’s important to see who they have chosen as their starters for the game.

Note: Jeff Sims started at quarterback. However, he played the first two drives then Heinrich Haarberg came in. They switched off every two drives of the game. Since Haarberg was taking reps with the No. 1 team, he is Nebraska’s No. 2 quarterback at the moment.
