Huskers Defense Needs Big Plays Against Spartans

With all due respect to Minnesota, the thirteenth-ranked Nebraska football team wasn’t challenged in their first game after their bye week. This Saturday, they face the defining challenge of their season to date. The Huskers welcome in Michigan State in what is a must-win for Nebraska’s hopes of winning the Big Ten Legends Division. Huskers defensive coordinator Carl Pelini says his defense has to come up with some big plays. “I’d like to see more turnovers,” Pelini said. “I want them to cut it loose a little more. We’ve talked about being more aggressive and to quit trying to be so perfect all the time and get after the ball. That will come. I think it’s a group that our confidence is starting to grow now and I think that’s important. I think that’s what we were missing early on.” The Huskers and Spartans kick off at Memorial Stadium at 11 AM Saturday.
