[Husker] Callahan: "Less is more" on defense

[Mike Jaixen]

A couple of articles of interest about the
Blackshirts...

Bill Callahan revamps the defense, and plans to play
more zone than man coverage, and also to streamline
the defense so the newer defenders will have less to
learn and react faster.

Also, Kevin Cosgrove is trying to build chemistry with
his defenders.

Both articles require registration.

My thoughts:  I know some people liked to blame the
defensive lapses from last year on the loss of
Demorrio Williams and some other late round draft
picks, but I think the bigger problem was a lack of
cohesiveness between the coaching staff and the
players. If not, I dread what will happen with the
departure of 3 likely first-day NFL draft picks on the defense.
