Red Report: D-linemen in the picture; praise for Taylor; doing your job on 'D'; young backers impressive

Nebraska is going to need all the help it can get up front against Wisconsin on Saturday – and down the stretch in general against Maryland and Iowa – and a couple of redshirt candidates are in line to potentially help.

Junior Keem Green and freshman Ty Robinson are both in the picture to help over Nebraska’s final three games, defensive line coach Tony Tuioti said Tuesday.

Most junior college players don’t redshirt, but Green (6-foot-5, 315 pounds) had a year available and didn’t arrive until late in preseason camp from Highland (Kan.) Community College. Robinson (6-6, 315) was a four-star prospect in high school in Arizona.
