Nebraska’s Week 1 football depth chart unveil and the questions that remain

Week 1 is underway in Lincoln. The depth chart is out. Where did we swing and miss in our projections? Nebraska has three running backs listed as even. But we have thoughts today on who might take the first snap with the No. 1 offense. What surprised us on how the Huskers have positioned the offensive linemen, in the secondary and up front on defense?

Coach Matt Rhule, inventor of single digits, is waiting until Saturday and the season opener to unveil the identity of the Huskers set to receive the jerseys. Rhule discussed the need for connectivity on the defensive side of the football. He believes this Nebraska team has got it. And he went all in on Anthony Colandrea. Why, in Rhule’s view, is Colandrea more like Baker Mayfield than even the Nebraska QB knows?
