[Husker] New Defensive Scheme (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Aaron Wolfson]

I'm not worried about D-Line either, and I definitely agree that LB depth is
a bigger concern.

We've got an incredible DT combo of Baker and Crick, plus Eric Martin (if he
emerges as we all expect) and Cam Meredith have the potential to be a top DE
combo as well. Throw in guys like Ankrah and Randle who could emerge, and I
love the way the line sets up for the next couple years.
