[Husker] Comments on the Game and the List

[Tommy Thompson]

It's not just the line that's young.  I just checked the depth chart from 
Oct 31.  (mostly 2 deeps, but some positions list more)

10 Seniors
19 Juniors
14 Sophomores
5 Freshmen

Starting lineup
9 Seniors
10 Juniors
2 Sophomores

Both of these include Gregg Austin as the starter.

The future looks pretty bright.
