Moore said he trusts Carter to take on Suh one-on-one, which is mostly what he did last year. :wtf

 

Clash of titans

 

Offensive line coach Matt Moore said he expects right guard Brandon Carter to square off with Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh on just about an every-down basis Saturday, and expects Carter to do the job one-on-one.

 

Suh, a 6-foot-4, 300-pound senior, is projected as a high first-round NFL draft choice.

 

“From what I’ve seen, he plays every snap over the right guard,’’ Moore said. “He plays 95 percent of the snaps over the offensive right guard. Same thing last year. He moved to the nose maybe four plays (in the Tech-Nebraska game). Other than that, he played over Carter every snap.’’

 

So far, Suh has shown the agility to lead the Cornhuskers in tackles (32), sacks (three) and pass breakups (seven).

 

Moore said he trusts Carter to take on Suh one-on-one, which is mostly what he did last year.

 

“We just ran our offense,’’ Moore said. “Sometimes the center would slide over and help him. Sometimes Carter was by himself. We didn’t game plan around him at all.’’

 

Nebraska ranks No. 2 in the nation in scoring defense (8.0 points per game) and No. 13 in total defense (273.4 yards per game), and the defensive front is regarded as the best position group. Other key players are defensive end Barry Turner, who has six quarterback hurries and five tackles for loss, and defensive tackle Jared Crick, who has four tackles for loss and 21/2 sacks.

 

Asked if Nebraska’s front four was better than that of No. 3 Texas, Moore said, “They’re bigger. Probably not as fast. That’s where Texas has the … . Texas, their ball get-off is so good, and they’re so fast. But (the Cornhuskers) are definitely bigger and stronger. They look like a Nebraska D-line is supposed to look.’’

 

One less weapon

 

Nebraska freshman running back Rex Burkhead appears to be out for Saturday’s game against Tech. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said Burkhead, a former Plano star, suffered a foot injury Monday in practice.

 

Burkhead is third on the team in all-purpose yards. He has 118 yards rushing, 66 receiving, 73 on punt returns and 15 on kickoff returns."

Something tells me Moore is blowing some serious smoke. But if he is willing to risk his QB's health by playing Suh one on one, than all the better for us because the Blackshirts will absolutely destroy that O-line!
