[Husker] Pelini on state of the defense

[David Strong]

Good article...candid comments from BP.  Acknowledges he recruited
safety/linebacker "hybrids" to defend the Big12 spreads.  Says he needs more
linebackers but that's not something you can fix overnight.  Also, he
insists that the defense is not far off, that they are close.  I understand
that he has to say supportive things, but I really believe him.  The guy
knows defense, it wouldn't surprise me if from here on out the defense is
noticeably, significantly better.  But he's gotta get them over the hump
pretty darn soon, we're out of fluff time.
