Today, I would disagree. The LB's were counted on a lot today and more often than not, they made clutch plays. Our secondary is all scheme at this point IMO. We HAVE talent back there but its being driven into the ground by an incompetent coach. I have no idea how the secondary coach is still employed.The problem is talent and scheme, but not in the secondary. It is art LB. We are and have been terrible at LB and that puts a lot of pressure on the DBs and DL.
Edit: not completely secondary is what I am saying
OWHLinebackers Marcus Newby, Chris Weber and Dedrick Young: Nebraska’s best position group Saturday, they combined for 20 tackles and five pass breakups. Position coach Trent Bray has coached up three guys who’d never started a game before this season into a pretty good unit.
10 yards is a stretch but 6-7 yards and backpedaling. When the QB has time to stare you down, double-clutch and still complete a sideways pass all the way across the field, that's terrible coverage.On TBL's post game show podcast, Joe Ganz said on Wisky's 3rd and 5 in our RZ, we had Jonathan Rose playing 10 yards off the ball. Haven't had a chance to offload my footage, so I haven't been able to look up the play.

Throw to the TE. Guy had four catches coming into Saturday's game.
He gets six and a touch.
The way the secondary is playing, it's like you could throw quarters coverage out there. Wouldn't matter.
Yep, plus, I felt that under Bo the schemes were all so damn complicated that at times it seemed we were too technical. It seemed we needed something more simple so the kids could be athletic and just play football. I realize that their is a new system and defenses in place in various ways but geez ... who saw this with all that experience.Davie (Sr) Started all 13 games last year
Cockrell (Sr) Played in all 13 games, started 6
Gerry (Jr) Started all 13 games
Kalu (So) Played in all 13 games, started 2
This group was #4 IN THE NATION in passing defense last season. I am tired of hearing how much talent we don't have back there. This 'scheme' and coaching is not working for this group.
I get that we couldn't stop the run game last season, but this isn't the point I am making. We act like we have all 4 new starters as DBs when this clearly isn't the case. 4 games now and nothing has changed yet.
- #1 overall in opponent's QB completion %
- Only allowed 168 yards passing/game
