The Nebraska football season is almost here. Proof came Friday with the first "game week" press conference and the release of the first depth chart of 2023.
Coach Matt Rhule and half a dozen players previewed the Aug. 31 opener at Minnesota, a Thursday night affair that's just six days away. The press conference came the morning after the Huskers held a simulated game under the lights in Memorial Stadium. Rhule said he hoped the scrimmage would essentially serve as Game 1 when it comes to the old coaching adage that a team's greatest improvement comes between the first and second games.
Placekicker is a job that's still up for grabs between Tristan Alvano and Timmy Bleekrode. "We'll have one more day [Sunday] of competition," Rhule said." And to me the depth chart, it's like an organism. It's ever changing. I'm not a big 'Hey, set it stone' kind of guy."
