The primary focus at Nebraska's practice shifts to freshman I-back Rex Burkhead, who inherits Quentin Castille's No. 2 slot at I-back, the Lincoln Journal-Star's Brian Christopherson reports.
Heralded freshman quarterback Garrett Gilbert appears to have taken a firm grasp of the No. 2 position behind Colt McCoy, Alex Trubow of the Austin American-Statesman writes.
