PrintHow 'bout that! Nebraska has officially released a depth chart for the Tennessee Chattanooga game!
You know what that means? We officially have depth! WOohoOOO!!!!
Differences from the attempt at a Nebraska depth chart I put together a few days ago?
Well, many and varied.
First you have Senior Jermarcus Hardrick starting over Sophomore Jeremiah Sirles at left tackle. Either way you look at it, that's a nice one-two set of tackles in the rotation. Both experienced and capable.
Left guard - Sophomore Andrew Rodriguez starting with junior walk-on Seung Hoon Choi as backup (and good for him).
Center - no surprise - senior Mike Caputo, Cole Pensick as backup.
Right Guard - Sophomore walk-on Spencer Long gets the start with redshirt freshman Jake Cotton as backup.
Right Tackle - Tyler Moore will be the first true freshman to start on the offensive line in an opener, ever. Senior Marcel Jones is the backup.
If this works out, i.e., the players execute the plays, and we rotate, I like this set of players. What you see in the offensive line is some guys who have worked their asses off to get into the positions they're in.
Mike Caputo, Seung Hoon Choi, Spencer Long, all walk-ons. THAT MEANS A LOT, A HELLUVA LOT!
Starting Receivers - Brandon Kinnie, Quincy Enunwa, Tim Marlowe - all three experienced receivers.
Backup Receivers - Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Kenny Bell, and Jamal Turner - all newcomers.
Tight Ends - Ben Cotton, Kyler Reed, Jake Long - three experienced guys, you know, for heavy sets.
Running Backs - Rex Burkhead, then you've got the magical -OR- in there for Ameer Abdullah, Braylon Heard, and Aaron Green.
Defense
Defensive End - Jason Ankrah -OR- Eric Martin, then Joe Carter
Defensive Tackle - Jared Crick, Terrence Moore, Chase Rome
Defensive Tackle - Baker Steinkuhler, Thaddeus Randle
Defensive End - Cameron Meredith, Josh Williams
BUCK - Sean Fisher, Alonzo Whaley
MIKE - Will Compton, Trevor Roach, David Santos
WILL - Lavonte David, Mathew May,
Dime - Justin Blatchford (whom I completely forgot before, shame on me), Lance Thorell, both experienced guys.
Left Corner - Ciante Evans, Josh Mitchell
Safety - Austin Cassidy, P.J. Smith, Corey Cooper
Safety - Courtney Osborne - OR - Daimion Stafford,
Right Corner - Alfonzo Dennard (who won't play tomorrow), Andrew Green, Antonio Bell
Special Teams
Place-Kicker - Brett Maher, Mauro Bondi
Holder - Austin Cassidy (what a versatile guy!)
Punter - Brett Maher, Mauro Bondi
Long Snapper - P.J. Mangieri
Returners - TBD - but you know that you'll see Jamal Turner, Ameer Abdullah, and Kenny Bell back there, right?

This offense just seems so...young
I just feel like at least one of the three Freshman should be redshirting unless absolutely needed. I know they are all talented…but there has to be at least one of them that’s struggling more than the others to get the offense down. If all three of them are going to play as true freshman, I hope all three of them contribute enough to make it worth it to not redshirt any of them.
I have the same concerns.
It sounds like all these guys are awesome, but how many carries will there be to go around? We know Rex is getting his no matter what.
Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

I think we'll see a situation back in the Cally days
when Callahan (sorry for cursing) just sort of ran with the hot hand. If Rex is in beast mode, he’ll get carries. If AG, Heard or Abdullah are running well, they’ll get the carries.
One of the RBs I think we’ll get fewer carries and will primarily work as a kick returner, which explains the lack of redshirts. So I think we’ll have mostly a 3-headed RB monster – I’m going to guess Burkhead, Abdullah, Green with Heard returning kicks and getting limited carries.

You don't HAVE to redshirt at the beginning of the season
It’s entirely possible that one of them may not get a carry for the first three weeks or so, and the staff will decide to redshirt them.
Otherwise I agree with you. We better not blow a redshirt for 30 carries all season or something along those lines

I don't think so, but didn't find a definitive record
I also didn’t looks too hard, so happy to be wrong.
I like it. I'm excited to see Abdullah, Heard and Green in action.
I was worried about the backfield for a while but it’s gonna be sick. Martinez is one of the quickest players in the country at the QB position, we all know what Burkhead can do, and Green/Abdullah/Heard all have absolutely insane speed. Nebraska will look like an SEC team this year.
Shocked at the young starters on the OL, but not complaining. Huge Yoshi fan here. I’ve seen him around campus and I wouldn’t want to have to get by him on a football field.
And Bo wasn’t kidding when he said he thinks we’re as deep on the DL as we’ve been since he’s been here. That is an awesome group. I’m excited to see what Martin will do in 3rd down pass rush situations.

I agree with... everything.
I’m really glad that my friend was able to get a ticket for me because I’m psyched to see the freshmen skill players. Green, heard, Abdullah, Turner… I know we won;tbe able to learn a whole lot from this game, but I missed the spring game and really want to see what these guys can do.
Yoshi is just massive.
Remember just a few years ago when we basically had 4 guys that played the entire game? Now we have up to 10 guys that will see snaps. I loved the Martin position switch as soon as it happened.

When Stafford is in the game...
…that’s an entirely new secondary from last year. Something to keep an eye on because we don’t know how long Alfonzo Dennard is going to be out. That’s one of my keys to the game…
As someone who went to school for a bit at UTC I feel compelled to point out…
It isn’t UTC Chattanooga. Chattanooga is what the “C” stands for. University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. It is just UTC. Or just Chattanooga when talking about the sports teams.
Reason being, you don’t say UTK Knoxville (that’s the Vols) when referring to the flagship campus. UTK, UTC and UTM (that would be Martin) are the three campuses within the University of Tennessee system.

yeah
you’re right…. I try to stay with the school’s official title (it’s always in their media guide), but in this case I screwed up.
Thanks for calling me on it.
Go Big Red Nebraska!

I wouldn't call Quincy Enunwa or Tim Marlowe "experienced receivers."

What has the Big Ten done to Pelini?
Next thing you know, he’s going to hug the referees before every game and look like he’s enjoying the Coach Pelini Show.

Do I get BTN2Go?

I like what this says
Work matters no gimmes, Choi was a bulldozer in limited snaps last year, you could see he had potential,,,,and now here he is on the 2 deep. That means alot, Trevor Roach backing up Compton, Baptiste backing Kinne, Long starting…..this too me says the coaches are evaluating effort, not just handing out default appointments like most do Noteworthy is Chase Rome listed behind Crick….he’s a tough kid who I expect we’ll see wearing a graduates shoes next year..
This is a blank slate…these kids coming together will bring it, no gimmes earned the spot, recognize this chart will change as the year goes along, some youngsters will rise other guys will rebound ….play football boys!
Grow with us, at QuantumCrops.com
And starting qb?
Looks like another game time aNouncement
