Maybe, but Sark says they're really deep at Safety:

 

 

SAFETY CONCERNS?

 

The free safety position has become a bit of an issue for the Huskies just a day before they leave for Lincoln.

 

On Wednesday, Sarkisian said that starting free safety Nate Fellner is “doubtful” for Saturday’s game because of a strained hamstring. Fellner dressed out for practice and did some light running, but he did not participate in any team drills.

 

To make matters worse, Taz Stevenson, who had been sharing some reps with Justin Glenn on the first-team defense, was rolled up on in practice and tweaked his surgically repaired left knee, which had been bothering him for much of fall camp.

 

“We’ll have to see how he comes out of it, but he was pretty sore,” said Sarkisian, who also didn’t seem too worried.

 

“It’s probably one of our deepest positions on our team, so we’ll be OK.”

 

That leaves the oft-injured Glenn and Will Shamburger as the likely replacements. True freshman James Sample also is an option, but he has been battling a sore shoulder. Also listed on the depth chart is junior Greg Walker, who has some experience and started the LSU game a few years ago but never seeing significant time again. He suffered a mild concussion on special teams against Hawaii.

Reading the first bit of the article makes it seem like no one watched the first two Husker games. I didn't see ANY touching of a receiver by the Blackshirts. Did any of you?

 

The moment the ball is snapped and Kearse leaves the line of scrimmage, he will be bumped, pushed, grabbed and jostled for the first 5 yards of his route.

 

And it isn’t just because he’s Washington’s top receiver. The other Huskies receivers also will be physically hassled.

 

Why? Because the Cornhuskers can, and they are good at it.

 

The “press coverage” is a major facet of what Nebraska does on defense. It’s what the Huskers did in the two games against UW last season. And it’s likely what they’ll do on Saturday.

 

“It worked well for them before, so why would they change?” Kearse said.

Why indeed...
