Northern Illinois running back Jordan Huff (23) is gang tackled by Nebraska defensive back Antonio Reed (25), defensive lineman Carlos Davis (96), linebacker Dedrick Young II (5) and linebacker Marcus Newby (3) in second-quarter action at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017.
KAYLA WOLF, Journal StarNebraska defensive coordinator Bob Diaco Tuesday said he was pleased with how the Huskers' substitution patterns along the defensive front seven were working to keep his players fresh as games wear on.
Facing offenses that stretch the field horizontally with side-to-side running games, Diaco said, puts a premium on making sure players rotate at the right time in order to maintain their aggressiveness.
