Casey Thompson confirms plans to 'Run It Back' with Huskers

LINCOLN - Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson is staying with the Huskers for his final year of eligibility. 

The announcement was made on his twitter page, where Thompson posted a graphic saying "Run It Back" in reference to another season with the Big Red.
