[Husker] Nebraska vs Kansas stats (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Andrew Smith]

Nebraska defense is
  #73 against the rush
      (which is a bit misleading; they are #54 in yrds/rush)
   #4 in passing efficiency defense
  #23 in total defense
  #21 in scoring defense

Definitely better than 85th and in the top-25, but not by much primarily 
due to the poor rush defense.  The defensive line has had much more of a 
drop off with Suh's departure than anyone expected.
