I'm pretty comfortable with our 4-2-5 base defense against the run. These measurements are from the depth chart listed on Husker.com, so maybe some of the figures may be exaggerated a little bit I'm not worried about being undersized as a team on defense because I'm pretty confident that the Pelini Bros can gameplan our defense to utilize our speed and playmaking ability to come up with some stops.
I'd rather have one extra DB who can make plays against the pass or run rather than an inexperienced LB when the game is on the line.
