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.’’
