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.

Nebraska has decisions this weekend to make on depth chart, captains and Maurice Washington's status, while the back-up QBs have impressed and a future one did, too. 

LaFleur went into the game intending to have Rodgers play. But when he saw that Raiders coach Jon Gruden wasn’t playing any of his first-line guys (including quarterback Derek Carr) and when he saw the turf conditions at IG Field, something inside told him not to put the two-time NFL MVP in harm’s way.

Scott Frost's program is largely defined by its up-tempo spread offense. But he seems intent on balancing out the conversation with the help of alternate uniforms. "Down the road, I'd like to see it be introduced that if the defense has a great game and holds an opponent under so many points that they earn the right to wear Blackshirts the next week. I think that would be another source of pride for our defense."
