Projected 2011 Depth Chart

Hate to drop a bomb here but I don't see Dennard sticking around Lincoln for another year.

Yeah. I think his decision along with Crick's will have a major impact on next year. I'd like to see them both stay but I'm not confident that either of them stay.

I don't understand why there are so many thinking Crick will opt for the NFL. He's clearly not ready and it shouldn't even be a concern. Dennard is a concern, but I think he stays.

One word. Lockout

by starters do you mean consistently, or have started at some point? because on defense don't evans, osbourne, and smith all have at least one start this year? that would make 10 returning defensive players with at least one start under their belts

I'll tell you what though, we don't see a schedule like Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, and Michigan all in one year very often.

corncraze - you're right. I meant Potter.

True, but I can make a case that our schedule is rough in name only.

1. At Wisconsin-yes, this is a scary one. This is one that could go either way.

2. Ohio St.-I am sorry, they are a paper tiger. They remind me of the Huskers of the mid to late 80's and the early 90's. Plus we have them at home. I really like our chances.

3. at Minnesota-WIN!!! Doesn't Cos coach their D, nuff said.

4. Michigan St. WIN!!! They are a pretender, plus they melt down mid season every year.

5. Northwestern-WIN!!! they just aren't that great.

6. at Penn. St-another one that can go either way, but they are very up and down.

7. at Michigan-Win!!! I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to see the Huskers in the Big House!!! Having said that, oh my god their D SUCKS!!! Does Cos secretly coach them two? We will out score them.

8. Iowa-Win!!! I think they are a paper tiger as well, plus, don't they lose a lot of key people to graduation? We also have them at home.

9. Hopefully we play in the first Big 10 championship game. Looking at our division are chances a very good. What sucks is we could play Ohio St. or Penn St. a second time.

This is just my feeling on next years schedule. Teams like Michigan a big in name only right now and just aren't really back yet. Yes we could have a couple of losses next year, but we could also do very well and take the Big 10 by surprise. Even with only one or two losses, we still have a very successful 1st season in the Big 10.
