Nebraska Football 2015 Spring Preview: Linebackers
| Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten has created an ongoing issue with roster depth at linebacker. In the spread-happy Big XII, linebackers weren’t needed much when facing offenses putting four or five receivers out wide. Four years later, you would think that linebacker depth would still be a problem, but transfers and dismissals combined with injuries have meant that Nebraska still doesn’t have the depth needed to face Big Ten offenses. From last season, Nebraska loses weakside linebackers Zaire Anderson (senior) and Courtney Love (transfer)... |

2015 Nebraska Spring Football Defense Preview
| The most frequent complaint about Bo Pelini’s defensive scheme was its complexity; that it was difficult to learn and kept young, talented players on the sideline.

Exit Bo Pelini, rumored to be a defensive guru. Enter Mike Riley and Mark Banker, his... |
