Nebraska Notes
(5/16) OL returns good prod, added 35% via portal
(5/2) DL is a concern, lost all 4 starters. 3 portal adds
(4/5) WR Barney a weapon, Key (UK)/Hunter (Cal) big
(4/5) RB Johnson looks good, do they have depth?
(3/28) Holgo wants tempo/pace. Ball out quick
(3/19) QB Raiola, 13 TD/18 TO. Must improve TY
(3/19) OL 3/5 back. 2 portals (Bama/ND) help. Avg LY
(3/19) Def was good LY, 5 portal adds. New DC
(3/19) OC Holgorsen much better than Satterfield
(3/19) DC Butler a journeyman, replaces White (UF)
