nebraskafaninwi Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Wow...didn't ever know that. Is that normal for other years? Often times yes. For those who follow recruiting close know that it is very hard to find that high school dominate DT that is big, thick, strong, mobile, good leverage skills, and tree trunks for legs. Those are often the DTs that dominate in college football and later get drafted into the NFL. Some years there are no true elite DTs but there will always be a top "blah" number of ranked players at the position. Some of the most dominate DTs to ever come out of high school that dominated in college football came from small rural communities....like Warren Sapp out of Florida. Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 According to Scout, Alabama has 84 players on their roster. Nebraska has 152. Now, I know a large part of that is our walk on program that I love and think is extremely important to our program. But, I wasn't expecting that big of difference. Ahem.. . 17.9.2.1.2 Limit on Number of Participants—Bowl Subdivision. [FBS] In bowl subdivision football, there shall be a limit of 105 student-athletes who may engage in practice activities prior to the institution’s first day of classes or the institution’s first contest, whichever occurs earlier.

BigRedBuster Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 You count them. http://nebraska.scout.com/a.z?s=204&p=8&c=2&nid=665&yr=2012 Now, I just realized that this list also includes coaches. But, that doesn't reduce the number of players on the list very much. Quote Link to comment

That's why you hear a lot during the spring about the 105 man roster. Quote Link to comment

We only have the 105 in fall camp (prior to), but once classes start everyone else can start practicing with the 105 Quote Link to comment
