Husker Extra - Defense

 

After reading this article it makes me think that Pelini was always saving something in his back pocket for when he got a head coaching job. From the sound of it, it seems like they are doing stuff on the defensive side of the ball that not many people do. Could this defense be revolutionary in the way that the wishbone and spread were revolutionary on offense?

Yeah I read that earlier this morning.

 

I'd like to think they're a step ahead of everyone else in terms of scheming, methods, etc., but I'm not savvy enough to make such assumptions.

 

So I'll just play my role as a fan and leave the coaching to the coaches. :lol:

I remember the announcers saying something about how our defensive coverage works in the holiday bowl that just went completely over my head.

Jesse Palmer. He said it was a "match-read" (I think) and explained it that the defensive backs read the routes and matchup based on that. Hence receivers will be open one second and not the next.

I don't care what he or anyone else calls it...if it's working...I like it!
