Depth Chart Commentary

Huskers.com released the depth chart for the Nevada game this morning.

Some comments:

Cody Glenn is apparently officially out. That means Quentin Castille is the 2nd string RB and Roy Helu is at #3. Both should get their share of carries on Saturday.

Even without Purify, the wide receiver depth is obvious.

The offensive line looks great on paper. It is exciting to see the way recruiting has reshaped the pipeline.

Defensively the biggest surprise is Armando Murillo starting over Andre Jones at LCB. So much for Jones’ experience at that spot. But I’m excited to see what Murillo can do.

Barfield and Dixon both listed as 2nd stringers. Expect them to see a lot of snaps. Again immediate impact from the most recent recruiting class.

Adi Kunalic is listed as the place kicker. He’ll get a chance to show off that supposed cannon leg.

Looks like Andre Jones will be returning some kicks. Could be exciting to see him with the ball in his hands.

In other words, not a whole lot of surprises, but it is nice to see the team laid out for us on paper.
