If head coach Scott Frost has his way for the rest of Nebraska’s season, junior Dicaprio Bootle will return to playing cornerback and won’t be needed at safety in extensive work again, as he was two weeks ago against Purdue.
The Huskers could cover that situation, though, when sophomore Cam Taylor-Britt got sick and couldn’t even make the trip to West Lafayette, Indiana, with the team, for two primary reasons: Bootle’s competency switching from corner to safety on the fly and redshirt freshman Braxton Clark’s readiness to step in and man a corner spot opposite Lamar Jackson for an entire game.
