The Cornhuskers were down two safeties, thanks to injury and the suspension of Nate Gerry. When the Nebraska football team takes the field on Saturday, Gerry will be leading the defense out there.
That’s certainly a good thing for a defense that will have its hands full with a Wyoming offense that is multi-faceted. For those who are expecting Gerry to be back to full strength and looking like the best defender on the field, lower your expectations.
The Nebraska football coaches have even said Nate Gerry isn’t going to be at full game speed. Defensive coordinator Mark Banker talked to KLKN TV about where the safety is, headed into his first game of the 2016 season.
