Nebraska Football’s tallest tasks for position coaches: Travis Fisher

You probably hate to be reminded as much as I do how poor the Nebraska Football defense was in 2017. The unit gave up over 430 yards per game, including to teams such as Minnesota.

The rather obvious way to stop teams from racking up such yardage is to simply take the ball away from them. Create turnovers. Okay, it’s probably not as simple as it sounds, but it is a vital quality of a good defense. As a defensive back, these turnovers will usually come in the form of interceptions.

The tallest task for Travis Fisher in 2018 is to create more interceptions among his squad of defensive backs.
