Each week, I’ll revisit the preseason preview of the Huskers’ opponent, providing updates on their season and developments since the summer. That’s always tough to do for the season opener, because there is nothing to review.
For Arkansas State, the big news is that senior defensive tackle Dee Liner injured his groin three weeks ago and has missed a large part of preseason practice. Head coach Blake Anderson indicates that Liner will be a game-time decision, but that he’s 90%-95% sure that Liner will play “a good bit” according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
As expected, the Red Wolves will be breaking in a new offensive line with a grand total of two career starts at Arkansas State.
