The Huskers released their first depth chart of the season on Monday. We’d learned last week that freshmen QB Dylan Raiola was named the starter, but the first depth chart still leaves some questions to certain positions for the Huskers.

Four running backs - Rahmir Johnson, Emmett Johnson, Gabe Ervin Jr. and Dante Dowdell - are all listed as the #1 running back, separated by “-OR-” on the depth chart. Returning place kicker Tristian Alvano, who was been battling a groin injury during preseason camp, is listed with an “-OR-” on the depth chart with Lincoln native John Hohl.
