Husker Depth Chart

I noted the longed-for release of the Husker Depth Chart yesterday, but didn't have time to comment.
via Husker Extra.

Only a couple of surprises here, one being Bo Ruud getting the nod over Octavian at WLB, another being the rapid promotion of frosh safeties Ricky Thenarse and Major Culbert to the second unit. Of course, Octavian had the appendectomy this fall and missed some practice time, which probably contributed. Another note is the work that former WRs Fluellen and Spain have put in at CB, but the secondary should definitely be viewed as a work in progress. Titchener seems to have gotten the nod at P over frosh Michael Suchs as well.

Not any surprises here at all, except possibly that they list 4 WRs at X and only 2 at Y, with Hardy, Purify and Holt backing up Nate Swift, with Nunn and Petersen at Y. I recall them talking that Purify would have a "package" while he learns the playbook. O-line looks pretty well set, although I hadn't heard of Byford at C, and the RB situation is what one expected as well. Interesting that Wilson will be used at KR, perhaps an indicator that Lucky will be used more than advertised at RB. CB Jones is listed with fellow CB Grixby behind Nunn at PR.
