Mavric Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Frost set to talk at 12:30. It would appear they are not releasing a depth chart this week. Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 You wonder if we'll even see a depth chart again in the Frost era at this point. Like why the secrecy? What's there to hide that we don't already know? 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm not really sure how much I buy the secrecy as a competitive advantage to be honest - is Illinois going to prepare much differently if they know it's Ervin versus Stepp? I'm assuming they'll prepare for both. Injuries I understand a bit more, but I don't really see the issue with publishing a depth chart. Only 3 blackshirts in the secondary according to Cam - CTB, Deontai, and Dismuke. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Only other thing I can think of is that it's to keep the peace internally. Like would some big-shot true freshman get pissy because he doesn't see his name on the 3-deep? Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I don't fully understand the no depth chart either. I don't buy into the "keeping the peace" or "preventing departures". The coaches have made it known that the players should know where they stand based on reps in practice the last week or so. The defense knows at least who the main starters are based on blackshirts. I don't see a competitive advantage. Oh well....I guess we will see this Saturday. Quote Link to comment
87skers Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Coach was VERY short and blunt today. Talked for 5 and a half minutes and took a little jab and mckewon Quote Link to comment

Husker4Real Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Is Frost always that abrupt in his news conferences? Admittedly, I rarely watch them live and usually just get sound bytes. Today, he appeared gruff and angry at the world. Every question he answered with a variation of “We’re getting ready to play Saturday”. 1 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 This is honestly just the staff wanting to tighten things up a bit. Something or someone pissed them off in the media so now there won't be a depth chart released this week. Just a dumb game. 2 2 Quote Link to comment

Farms Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Safe to say Frost is pissed! Quote Link to comment
