A record number of fans attended
the Nebraska football team’s annual
Photo Day Saturday at Memorial Sta
dium, according to Nebraska Sports
Information Director Chris Anderson.
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.”
