Notable Changes
>>
Jeff Sims is still listed as the starting quarterback.
Heinrich Haarberg and
Chubba Purdy are still listed as co-backups. Sims returned to practice on Monday, but his status for Louisiana Tech is still up in the air and won't be announced until two hours before the game with the release of the Huskers' availability report.
>> Rhule announced on Monday that starting running back
Gabe Ervin Jr. and No. 2 running back
Rahmir Johnson – in addition to freshman
Dwight Bootle, the No. 2 cornerback behind
Malcolm Hugehog – suffered season-ending injuries against Northern Illinois. Now,
Anthony Grant has retaken his spot from last season as the No. 1 running back.
Emmett Johnson is the team's No. 2 running back now, and there is not a No. 3 listed.
>>
Teddy Prochazka is now listed as the No. 2 left tackle ahead of freshman
Gunnar Gottula. Prochazka played for the first time this season on Saturday, playing nine snaps against Northern Illinois.
>>
Jimari Butler is now listed as the No. 2 defensive end behind
Ty Robinson. It was previously
Kai Wallin, who is no longer listed on the two-deep.
>>
John Bullock is now listed as a starting linebacker, overtaking
Nick Henrich on the two-deep. Henrich is Bullock's backup, and
Javin Wright has moved to the No. 2 spot at linebacker behind
Luke Reimer.
>>
Mikai Gbayor has sprinted ahead to the top of the pack. Gbayor had not been listed on the two-deep for any of the Huksers' first three games, but he is now listed as the starting Jack linebacker ahead of
Chief Borders and
MJ Sherman. As stated above, Rhule has said that all co-starters and co-backups listed with an "OR" next to their names are listed alphabetically. But, obviously, Borders should be listed above Gbayor if it was the case that they were all on the same level. Gbayor should be considered the starting Jack right now, given his hierarchy on this week's depth chart.
>>
Tamon Lynum is now the No. 2 cornerback behind Malcolm Hugehog as Lynum replaces Bootle.
>> Emmett Johnson, the team's No. 1 kick returner on the roster previously, is now the only kick returner listed. Rahmir Johnson was previously listed as the No. 2, but that spot is now a "TBD."
Nebraska has released its official depth chart for the Louisiana Tech game.
