The depth chart for the first Nebraska Football game against Nevada was released today by Coach Callahan. There were a few suprises for sure I thought. The first one that stood out to me was Armando Murillo starting over Andrew Jones at the corner position. I understand that Jones will get plenty of playing time as Nevada usually plays atleast a three wide receiver set, but still seems weird. Maybe it is to light a fire under Jones possibly?
Another suprise was see Cody Glenn not on the depth chart at all. Coach Callahan commented today that was because Glenn has not practiced much lately but should be back out there today. I wonder if Glenn will see playing time at all against Nevada? Rest him until he is 100% is what I think.
When you overlook the entire depth chart you have got to love all the depth that the Husker look to have this year. Almost every position is a very strong 2-deep. We all know that there will be some injuries throughout the year so it is good when you have this kind of depth. It will also help as the coaches will be able to rotate players in a lot more often this year.
