The question not asked, but probably should have been, How many burnt ends does it take to feed an entire offensive line?
Just something the mind pondered when Mike Cavanaugh sent out a tweet April 8 of him with his guys in his backyard, in the midst of what appeared to be a very successful O-line barbecue.
Nebraska's offensive line coach loves those moments.
If he presents that gruff personality straight out of central casting for an O-line coach on the field, or shows irritation when asked about that drumbeat topic of rotating linemen (more on that later), he is just as much the guy who loves to shoot the bull with players when the day's work is done.
