Nebraska football held its first-ever "Husker Games" on Saturday.

The event was promoted as an NFL Pro Bowl-style showcase with several players participating in various competitions – such as a quarterback throwing challenge, a wing-eating contest and a roping competition sparked by recently retired legendary volleyball coach John Cook. In addition, the team held short scrimmage periods featuring most of the No. 2 and No. 3 players at their positions on the depth chart.
