LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — New Nebraska coach Mike Riley says he has a hunch the entirety of his pro-style offense won’t be game-ready come fall.

Riley said Wednesday that he and his staff will spend next week’s spring break studying practice video and paring back the number of plays they’ll work on the rest of the spring practice.

He said he wants to head into the fall with his offense “pretty good at a few things and not average at a whole bunch of stuff.”

Riley said the quarterbacks need to complete a higher percentage and cut down on interceptions.

Presumptive starter Tommy Armstrong Jr. stood on the sideline for Wednesday’s practice because of tightness and spasms in his lower back.
