Red Report: Frost ‘not comfortable’ with Huskers’ vaccination rate; RB up for grabs; NU healthy overall | Football



Fewer roster holes, quicker decisions: Frost on Thursday said he has set a goal of making decisions on position battles more quickly over the next four weeks.

In the past, Frost’s standard mode has been to give essentially equal repetitions for about the first two weeks of camp and then start the process of figuring out a depth chart. Not this summer.

“One thing I told the team and (I’ve) told the coaches is I want to make those decisions a little earlier than normal, at least in-house, to get a little continuity with groups on offense and defense,” Frost said. “So guys better show up ready to go and compete for those spots that are up for grabs.”

That is possible, in part, because Nebraska has a veteran roster and there are only a few positions where the majority of the playing time is truly up for grabs.

“I’d say we have fewer holes in our roster than we used to, but there’s still some questions,” Frost said.

RB up for grabs: One of the positions that remain wide open as camp begins is running back.

Nebraska has six scholarship players, and four of them — USC transfer Markese Stepp and freshmen Gabe Ervin, Sevion Morrison and Jaquez Yant — have never carried the ball at NU. Two others (Marvin Scott III and Rahmir Johnson) have less than 60 combined carries.
