You can imagine at least one theme Scott Frost might tap into Saturday night as he stands before his players right before the red curtain rises on a new era of Nebraska football.

Lightning round: How fast can the Huskers turn things around?

3 reasons why the Huskers could turn things around quickly

Nebraska defensive coordinator Erik Chinander and head coach Scott Frost seem to have freed Husker players to play fast and aggressively.

Deep skill: For a seemingly major rebuilding project, the Huskers have a lot of talent to get the ball to. NU’s stable of backs and receivers fits well with the vaunted offense Scott Frost brings with him to his alma mater. There are question marks, sure, but the Huskers have the horses to scare people offensively from the start.

New blood: Frost and company have brought in 52 new players. In the secondary, seven players arrived between spring ball and fall camp alone. If nothing else, all the new faces bode well for the competition level and building culture early on in Frost’s tenure.

3 reasons why the Huskers could need more time

Brenden Jaimes

SCOTT BRUHN, Nebraska Communications

Young QBs: NU is going to be breaking in a new quarterback in 2018. That almost always comes with ups and downs. So, even though the Huskers have strong talent, there are going to be some bumps under center. Even in the event of a promising season, expect the young quarterbacks to develop on a multiyear track.

Depth questions: The Huskers are deep at receiver and have backfield options. They also have question marks in the secondary and at tackle. For instance, if Brenden Jaimes and Matt Farniok play 12 games apiece, the NU offensive line should be fine. An injury to either could have major ramifications. New cornerbacks Braxton Clark and Cam Taylor add intrigue, but the actual level of play is still TBD.

3 things you’ll learn quickly about the offense

Stanley Morgan

SCOTT BRUHN, Nebraska Communications

Slotting receivers: There are so many options beyond Stanley Morgan in the receiving corps. Who makes the regular rotation? How does Frost feed the backfield and also involve Tyjon Lindsey, Mike Williams, Jaron Woodyard and Miles Jones? Who gets the first shot at a regular role?

Backfield roles: A similar thought to the receiving group. How about the electric freshman Maurice Washington? Greg Bell was Nebraska’s best running back coming out of spring ball. Is he still? Is he still in the top two?

3 things you’ll learn quickly about the defense

Rush crew: With several options on the defensive line and at outside linebacker, who will be on the field the first time Chinander dials up a blitz in a sure passing situation? Does he rely on two outside backers? Three? The mixing and matching will be fun to watch.

How much better? Much of the fall camp talk centered around increased competition in the secondary. The nonconference schedule doesn’t feature any top-flight passing offenses, but any change will likely still be apparent quickly. Another point of intrigue: Who nails down starting jobs at corner and at safety in the closing days of camp?

6 newcomers who could make a fast impact

ERIC GREGORY, Journal Star file photo

Adrian Martinez, QB, freshman: There are far more than six, considering NU has 52 new players. But Martinez, duh, has to be on the list.

Mike Williams, WR, junior: The juco transfer is considered pound for pound the strongest player on the team and should be heavily involved in the passing game.
