[Husker] No Linebackers?

[Mike Jaixen]

"No linebackers" is an exaggeration.  We'll have
linebackers, though they'll be lacking in depth and
experience.  Phillip Dillard played a lot last season.
 Blake Lawrence played a little.

Last year at times, we played like we had no defense
at times.  (96 yards in 3 to 5 plays happened several
times.  76 points scored by Kansas.)  It wasn't just
linebackers... in fact, one could argue that at times,
the linebackers were the only people out there.  (See
Bo Ruud's game saving interception returns against
Ball State and Iowa State.)
