What defensive unit is the weakest link?

My vote is the linebackers. I do not think we have the talent, nor do we have a position coach to mitigate the lack of talent. Ruud had zero experience coaching the position until Frost hired him last year. Recruiting is also a concern. Our linebackers are constantly out of position, they lack discipline, and struggle immensely setting the edge. Nebraska also does not have a legitimate LB who can rush off the end. If there is anything that needs to addressed it is out LB coaching. 

thoughts?

Ummm, maybe we should look at our DL and LBs.  (OTOH, we're #75 for passing yards allowed.  So there's that.  *sigh*)

It's linebackers and it's not close. They're the straw that stirs the drink in a 3-4 Defense. If you wanna get really scared go look at how many LB commits we have in the 2020 class

Haha.  I wish it was just scary...It's straight out terrifying IMO.....ILB without a question. It's not a "position", but a true edge rusher....

 
A lot of those yards are LB's chasing WR and RB's and picking up chunks all the way down the field.

Had an ad blocking my ability to quote Nuances post so that's why it seems out of nowhere.  It's in regards to our passing yards allowed.
