Nebraska Just Got a HUGE BOOST After Beating North Dakota

Nebraska's pass rush finally looks like a legitimate threat. We analyze the defensive pressure generated against North Dakota.

The Nebraska defense may have finally shown us something it was missing last season. While holding North Dakota to seven points is notable, the true story lies in the ability to create disruption from several different positions. This episode of the Big Ten Huddle breaks down what changed in the scheme and why the method of generating pressure matters more than the raw sack total.

We look at the tape to determine if this Nebraska football adjustment is sustainable for tougher matchups. As the team prepares for the heart of the conference schedule, this newfound versatility could be the key to consistency within the Big Ten football landscape.
