Fans brought more than just cam eras to the event. The estimated 8,000 10,000 people brought posters, foot balls, football helmets and jerseys for players and coaches to sign. Anderson said this year’s crowd was the biggest at a photo day during her 10 years at Nebraska. Last year, the players all sat at one long table in the south end zone and that caused problems, Anderson said. This year, the Huskers were spread throughout the stadium, giving fans a chance to get more autographs. “It worked much better having the tables separated, but we still had long lines and we couldn’t accommodate everyone,” Anderson said. The players were divided up by position, and that seemed to work well, Anderson said. To ease the congestion, the run ning backs, backup quarterbacks and receivers were on the west sideline. The offensive line was located in the northeast comer of the stadium. \ The Nebraska secondary was in the southwest comer, and the rest of the defense was located primarily in the south end zone. “This year we decided to spread it out more and let people know where they were,” Anderson said. Two members of the defense, Jay Foreman and Terrell Farley, partici pated in their First Photo Day. Foreman,a redshirtfreshman SAM linebacker, and Farley, a junior col lege transfer, said they enjoyed the experience. “It’s big,” Farley said. “I liked it.” Foreman said the experience wasn’t overwhelming. “It was all right,” Foreman said. “Nebraska football players will al ways have to do this, and that’s Fine.” Coach Tom Osborne, quarterbacks Tommie Frazier and Brook Berringer, running back Lawrence Phillips and center Aaron Graham had the most autograph requests. All four players had to be escorted off the Field when Photo Day ended amid groans from fans at 1 p.m. Foreman said he wouldn’t mind following in Frazier, Berringer, Gra ham and Phillips’ footsteps. “Hopefully, I can get to that point , where the fans follow me.” HI rv Get No Service Charge Checking And A FREE Gift From FirsTier!
