The goal for a good nose tackle, according to Nebraska defensive line coach Tony Tuioti, is to demand four hands on every snap.
Four hands means full attention from two offensive linemen, and two offensive linemen tied up in the middle means that the rest of your typical four-man rush is likely looking at a one-on-one matchup. Four hands makes it more likely a linebacker is flowing freely toward the ball in run defense.
