[Husker] Depth Chart

[jon johnston]

It might work better if when Lucky was running between the tackles his  
own offensive line might get the hell out of the way. They were big  
and slow last year. Perhaps this season when they're run-blocking they  
could get off the ball and Lucky will find some space between the  
tackles.

I'm not as concerned about the linebackers as I am the defensive  
backfield. Given the offenses we'll face, I wouldn't doubt we'll be  
playing two linebackers most of the season.
