>> Check out this quote from the end of Jon Nyatawa’s story today on Terry Joseph:
“We were surviving last year. When you watched the film, it was just surviving. Nobody played fast. It was always like we were 75 mph, not 100. So hopefully, Sept. 1, we’ll play like we’re flying around. We’ll see.”
I think Joseph’s observation is dead on, especially in the secondary. Nebraska has a ton of young players, especially at cornerback. If Joseph can get them to play like Marvin Sanders did, the Huskers will make a big jump defensively.
