Listen to Nebraska defensive coordinator Bob Diaco or any of his players talk at the Huskers' facilities this week, and you could almost be convinced that Saturday will proceed like any other day.
Everybody else, from NU fans and program followers to offensive players and coaches, carries a healthy dose of intrigue as to how Diaco’s defense will operate shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday, when the shroud of secrecy is finally lifted and he sends 11 onto the Memorial Stadium turf, tasked for the first time with stopping an actual opposing offense.
The speculation among Huskers is decidedly one-sided.
