Changes to the redshirt rule are now part of the mainstream college football conversation. Players are available to play in up to four games while still maintaining their redshirt status, and the Huskers once again have a handful of true freshmen worth watching. So, we thought it would once again be prudent to keep track of how the Huskers are doing in that regard.
