On BYUSN yesterday Paul Tidwell said that the top inside linebackers are
Langi and Pikula, with JLD being #3 behind them, even though he is at outside right now. He said he'll be a swing player between the two positions.

Just a couple of thoughts/speculation based on that.

#1 - It would lend to the idea that Langi is not going to be suspended for Nebraska, since it would be weird to move JLD outside when you know that Langi isn't going to play. Now perhaps JLD will get majority of the snaps at inside as they move to specific Nebraska prep, but still seems like you'd want JLD to get as many reps at inside if you anticipated him starting there.

#2 - It also seems like maybe they are a bit concerned with the play at outside LB or at least depth that JLD would be needed there instead of at inside where he is currently running #3. Huntsman is currently #2 at weak side and with Takitaki being suspended maybe we can expect to see JLD start opposite of Warner? I haven't heard the pecking order of outside recently so who really knows.

Just some random thoughts.
