Nebraska Football: Defense may have upperhand on Illinois quarterback

Coming into Saturday’s game against Northern Illinois, Nebraska Football defensive line coach Tony Tuioti has some familiarity with the opposition. This may be of note, as Nebraska looks to develop a mini-win streak and hopefully set their season in full momentum.

Brandon Peters is starting for Illinois. Peters was at Michigan while Tuioti was part of the program. Peters was a highly thought of recruit when he committed to the program, and he has had an up-and-down collegiate career since then.

Right now, Peters is in the midst of having the best collegiate season of his career.
