Nebraska defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said his message to players that saw their name move down the depth chart is a simple one: Be better in practice, and you'll be a factor on game day.
Chinander's comments came in the wake of Monday's depth chart release, which saw several changes after the 42-28 loss to Purdue. On the defensive side, that meant Eric Lee Jr. moving ahead of Lamar Jackson at corner.
"The message to a guy like that, or anybody on our team, is practice better than anybody else and you're the starter, period," Chinander said.
