New-look Big Ten full of questions

[n.e.husker]

The defensive prowess of the Big Ten's newest team is seldom questioned. Nebraska's "Blackshirts" dominated at times in the Big 12. The Cornhuskers become official Big Ten members on July1.

 

"We're honored to be coming into the Big Ten," said Nebraska coach Bo Pelini, who played for Ohio State from 1987-90. "We think it's going to be good for our university in all regards, not just athletically."

 

One task for Pelini will be learning and preparing for unfamiliar opponents.

 

"We understand the challenges that lie ahead," he said. "We're going to be playing 11 new opponents this year, and that's always a challenge for you."
