Before Nebraska’s preseason camp started, offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Troy Walters in a radio interview casually suggested that he expected at least three freshmen to play in the Huskers’ rotation at wide receiver.
That could still happen — versatile threat Wan’Dale Robinson is a virtual lock to have a big role and NU is high on fellow rookies Demariyon Houston, Darien Chase and Jamie Nance — but the challenge has only grown for the youngsters.
Spielman is the top option, hands down. Robinson is expected to play a big role, perhaps split between receiver and running back.
