(33:24): What will Nebraska's first depth chart look like?

It’s a Thursday edition of the Husker247 Podcast. Nebraska rolls into the third week of fall camp and while there are some positions where there appears to be plenty of depth (offensive line, wide receiver) there are others where Nebraska still needs to find it before the season opener with Ohio.

In the back half of the podcast, the guys take listener questions, including what could be seen during the non-conference slate that would change the perception of the season, and where the sell out streak stands with time ticking away.
