As of midweek, Pelini had not handed out the coveted black practice jerseys to Nebraska's defensive starters, and he says it's possible there will be no Blackshirts for Saturday's opener against Western Michigan. Or for the next game, or the next.

The Nebraska defense's "Blackshirt" tradition hasn't ended, but it's definitely on hold. As of midweek, new coach Bo Pelini had not handed out the coveted black practice jerseys to Nebraska's defensive starters, and he says it's possible there will be no Blackshirts for Saturday's opener against Western Michigan.
