Nebraska’s offensive line debuted two new starters in their season opening victory. Center Justin Jackson and left tackle Brent Qvale performed admirably, and the unit as a whole permitted just one sack on the afternoon. But this Saturday the Husker line will be tested by UCLA’s 3-4 defensive front that racked up seven sacks in their win last week against Rice. Nebraska assistant offensive line coach John Garrison says he’s preparing his players for a stiff challenge on Saturday. “They’re big and they’re physical up front,” Garrison said. “They provide multiple fronts and they’ll bring in guys that will provide pass rush issues on third down. Those guys are physical, they play fast and they do a nice job not allowing you to get to the second level.” UCLA had a big day in their opener, but had just 14 sacks as a team all of last season.
