Highlights:
* Austin confirmed what has been widely expected: Bryce Benhart will start at right tackle for the Huskers against Ohio State. It will be the first career start for the 6-foot-9, 315-pound redshirt freshman from Lakeville, Minnesota.
* He continued to have high praise for four-star true freshman left tackle Turner Corcoran. The Lawrence, Kansas, native is the No. 2 left tackle behind Brenden Jaimes, but Austin said, “You’re going to see Turner Corcoran play this year,” and perhaps even Saturday against Ohio State. “He’s doing a pretty dang good job,” Austin said. “He’s been turning heads ever since he’s been here. Not just on the field, but just his maturity off the field.”
* It’s clear Austin and NU like what they’re getting out of senior captain Matt Farniok after moving him from right tackle to right guard. “We wanted to move him before now, but we just didn’t have the depth to do it,” Austin said. “He’s done a good job down there, has continually gotten better.”
* Senior Boe Wilson is Nebraska’s starting left guard, but Austin said NU will “take care of” the veteran after he battled injuries through much of 2019 and saw his overall play slip because of it. “Boe knows that, we’re going to try to take care of him and make sure that he’s not getting all the reps that wore him down last year,” Austin said.
