With four days left until Nebraska’s season opening football game, the depth chart picture is starting to become a little clearer. The Huskers coaching staff has not released an official depth chart, but did acknowledge starters at some positions in their press conference yesterday afternoon. With Alfonzo Dennard questionable to play after suffering a leg injury earlier in fall camp, Carl Pelini said that Ciante Evans and Andrew Green will start at cornerback, with plenty of players in rotation, if Dennard can not play Saturday. The Huskers defensive coordinator also tabbed sophomore Jason Ankrah as the pick to start opposite Cameron Meredith at defensive end for the opener. On special teams, junior Brett Maher has won the kicking and punting duties in the competition with true freshman Mauro Bondi.

The Colorado Rockies dropped the opening game of their three game series with the National League West leaders. The Arizona Diamondbacks got seven stellar innings from starting pitcher Daniel Hudson to defeat the Rockies 5-1. In his second start with the Rockies, Alex White struggled mightily with his control, walking six batters in his six innings of work and allowing five runs, four of which came in the sixth inning to help the D-Backs put the game away. The Rockies couldn’t muster any offense until the ninth inning, when three hit batters led to their lone run, which was driven in by Chris Iannetta when he was hit with the bases loaded. Carlos Gonzalez went 0-for-3 to end his 14-game hit streak. The Rockies and D-Backs are back at it again tonight in the desert. First pitch is scheduled for 8:40.
