[Husker] Lets talk about the defense

[Steve Reichenbach]

> 1.  Did the defensive backs play closer to the receivers than last year?
It appeared so.

> 2.  Was there a push from the front 4?
Not so much that the QB didn't have quite a bit of time on many plays.
Even when the LBs blitzed, the QB seemed to have time.

> 1.  WMU converted on 50% of 3rd and long (6+ yards to go).  Not a good stat.
> 2.  Huskers gave up 4 plays of over 20 yards each; three of them in the 2nd
> half.  Not a good stat.
The defense still has room for improvement, but WMU, at least, couldn't
run over them.  Hopefully, NU stays tough against the run and gets a bit
more pass rush.
