In less than 10 minutes on Friday morning, Nebraska coach Scott Frost brought clarity to the Husker offensive line picture, perhaps camp's most talked-about group, as the program finishes preseason camp and shifts into game mode.

One, that presumptive starting left guard Trent Hixson had been put on scholarship, was expected.

The other, that redshirt freshman Cameron Jurgens will be the No. 1 center when a formal depth chart is released in the coming days and is in line to start Nebraska’s opener next weekend against South Alabama, can only be considered a surprise.
