Learn to play defense the Bo Pelini way

You show up on campus, get your dorm room in some sort of livable shape, get your class schedule, get your gear. It’s a whirlwind but football practice is on the horizon, a known after a few straight days of newness. You played at one of the best high school programs in the country. You know the game of football better than 95-percent of the population. But at your first practice it quickly becomes apparent that you don’t know much about football at all.

There are only 3 LB that can start a game but we will all be prepared and support our team until the end. There will be no personal agendas and I will not babysit.
This part must have been left out of the RB section of the playbook or some didn't read it.

Are you referring to Aaron Green and Braylon Heard or......?

 
Does anyone have the full playbook from scribd? Looks like an interesting read but I don't want to pay $15 to get it. I can't imagine scribd has a copyright on it since it appears to have originated at UNL.

 
Really neat article, thanks for posting. I hope everyone can now get an appreciation for how difficult it can be as a player to pick up a defense, and just how smart big time football coaches are.

Wonder how upset the coaches are that this is floating around?

I'm pretty surprised this was put out by one of our media outlets. Has to be some kind of strategic disadvantage.

 
So giving up 63 and 70 points is the Pelini way? joking aside until Pelini starts having a dominating defense again there will be questions.
