Took a stab at which players I think are above the line and below it. First up, the offense:

Bo Nix, Michael Penix and, of course, defending champ Caleb Williams on the short list of favorites

Here's a quick story on Alex Bullock, who's now on scholarship and sitting atop the depth chart at WR.

“You just can’t deny what he’s done,” Matt Rhule said of the 6-foot-2, 205-pound Bullock.

We are of course very scared for our lives to be in such a dangerous place but assuming we get frisky and want to risk it......... is there a good tailgating scene around the stadium? Any good bars for some 50 year old guys to hit up in the area or should we venture out of the downtown area? Are there any husker bars around, I assume not but ya never know.

Matt Rhule's audio is a little hot. That was an issue with the malt box. They fixed it for the rest of the guys who spoke afterward.

Short and sweet story about where the coordinators and some of the assistants will be coaching from at Minnesota — on the field or up in the box?

Matt Rhule on ESPN College Football

With the release of the new depth chart, it looks like Rhule has brought in 12 new faces that are in the 2 deep for the first game, including 6 starters out of the 25 (including K,P,LS). Not bad for 9 months. His recruiting classes seem to be more stable that in previous years, but we'll see on that, but the fact that we're almost full before the first game is impressive.

CLASS A
Norfolk 28, Columbus 14
Papillion-LaVista 28, Millard North 10

CLASS C1
Tri County (C2) 48, Fairbury 0

CLASS C2
Tri County 48, Fairbury (C1) 0

Trev Alberts shares his observations and what he's looking forward to seeing this season after watching Matt Rhule and the Huskers throughout preseason practice.

"I don’t think we’re gonna be scared of anybody."

I always enjoyed watching him play, I believe he was in that group of recruits from Arizona.

Chubba didn't "run and hide"?

would be interested to hear some takeaways

Anyone know of anything near Troy? Montgomery or Dothan would be great.

Today from the big red brunch with TO, this quote from the OWH

“We get clouded sometimes because of the previous success, but we’re literally starting over on trying to help our program understand what discipline looks like,” Alberts says. “He (Rhule) is obviously excited. Everybody’s excited, everybody wants to win. But at the end of the day for us, it’s just remaining disciplined.

Nice!

Using ESPN app but it’s not great

Dude allegedly resigned from Peru State a few days before his team's first game.

I know he's on this site with multiple troll usernames. Can you elaborate Bob?
