The way Rusty Becker tells it, you want to be on the invite list when Tony Tuioti throws a barbecue.
The problem: You probably won’t make the guestlist now unless you happen to play defensive line for Nebraska.
Tuioti, of course, is the new Husker defensive line coach, hired officially Tuesday after he spent 2018 in the same position at Cal.
We’ll get to the barbecue scene, but first, let’s lay out Becker’s role here. He’s a recent graduate from Cal and played his final year under Tuioti on the Bears' defensive line. Before his senior year, he’d played in some games but never quite had the career he wanted.
