[Husker] Re: Status of the Huskers (My Opinion) (fwd)

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

Isn't it a given we'd be running more zone this year?  Last year, we had 
DB's capable of covering receivers. When we tried to run a zone, as in 
last year's TT game, it was a disaster. This year, we do not have DB's 
capable of covering man to man, so we're forced to play zone.

I always wondered last year whether or not the defense simply wasn't 
willing, or wasn't able to change any philosophy that the new coaches 
brought with them, not that the coaches didn't try.
