At the end of the season last year, only one thing from the receiving core was certain, Trey Palmer was gone (please come back). Nebraska’s new record setter was a high-powered basketball star, one and done. The only shining constant in a group that was a Forest Gump-esque box of chocolates.
This season is far different. We aren’t sure of many of the roles the wide receivers will have in the new offense. From the sounds of things, if you don’t block, you don’t play. I’m certainly fine with that, as key blocks from the outside means the difference between touchdowns and measly first down runs.
