Casey Rogers received a “Nice Job!” from coach Tony Tuioti.

Did he actually do a nice job or is that just coach speak

I'm sure Abby is just inexperienced with observations on the D1 football scale, but I just couldn't help myself from laughing at those observations.
Ranks up there with Nate's "twisty things" and what's his face expression after William's "I'm not a backup."

Lol. Yup. Those were cracking me up. Also had a nice Dean misspelling in there.
“This is a good sign that his ACL injury is healthy quickly and well.”

JFC..............................
**** Nebraska legend Tom Osborne and two spectators in chairs watched practice from the sideline.
Such ground breaking reporting here. TO is essentially at every practice for the first 15-30 minutes. Those two spectators? Probably Carol Frost and guest.
*** Tight end Thomas Fidone was not practicing, to no surprise, but wasn’t wearing a knee brace. This is a good sign that his ACL injury is healthy quickly and well.
No shit, he's 3 months removed from ACL surgery. A Bledsoe Brace is used for a couple weeks up to a month in athletes to limit the range of motion to allow the graft to heal. I remember I was in mine for around 2 weeks when I was up moving around and a week or two longer while I slept.
*** Damion Daniels, Deontre Thomas, Casey Rogers and Ben Stille were the first four to begin each drill. Outside of these men, it was clear who the freshman in the group were. They clearly hadn’t gotten the hang of the drills and Tuioti was more detailed with them.
Maybe because they're the starters........ duh.
*** OLB coach Mike Dawson yelled “That’s right!” to Garrett Nelson during one drill.
Hard hitting shit there.
*** Freshman outside linebacker Wynden Ho’ohuli received a lot of encouragement from his coach and teammates. After a good rep, his teammates would yell “There you go!” or “Atta boy!”.
More hard hitting shit.

No observations from Dean? Where the hell was he?
Also, I was expecting a token "This team really looks the part" comment and "kudos to coach Duvall...this team appears to be in excellent condition."

"Some of us have known about this for several weeks, but the guys were really loose and having fun out there. It almost got to the point of horsing around but veteran guys were locked in. I happened to catch junior wideout Oliver Martin singing some rap lyrics with the rest of the guys and we all had a laugh at that."

I agree with your general premise here. One thing I wanted to add is that Fidone is telling people in CB that he plans to play in October.

My favorite…
What’s crazy is that Zavier Betts, who looks fantastic right now, is somehow almost an afterthought when going down the list at receiver. That’s an unbelievable situation for NU, as Betts would likely be a starter in any of the past three seasons.
Except that he wasn’t a starter last year…and was ‘swimming in it’ if I recall correctly.
