It's almost time for college kids to give their minds a rest, maybe travel home or just hang out and do nothing. Before the Huskers take their time off, there's some business to attend to. Specifically, who sits atop the signal-caller depth chart and where the others currently place. Let's have a look, shall we?

Give the Aurora, NE native credit, he's not backing down. Right now, there's simply far too much talent ahead of him.

If Darlington wasn't off limits due to potential concussion issues, he'd be higher up. He throws a great ball and can avoid defenders, but it's unlikely he sees time this spring. He may not even take the field until the 2015 season.

Fyfe has been a pleasant surprise. While he'll never be mistaken for Brock McHardCheese in pads, he throws amazingly fast and accurate passes. I'd advise against running into a swarm of defenders, though.

A physical quarterback, Stanton has shown the ability to shift into second gear on the run quickly and can throw a pretty touch pass. His only true flaw is that passes consistently have too much air under them. If he can start delivering darts on a more consistent basis, he'll likely challenge for the starting spot.

Armstrong is a more vocal, mature quarterback than Nebraska fans saw in the 2013 Gator Bowl. He throws a skip pass every once in a while, but heading into Spring Break, he'd be the Cornhuskers' starter.
