ESPN.com’s Big 12 coorespondent Tim Griffin–who had a 24-year career at the San Antonio Express-News before joining ESPN–likes Nebraska’s defensive line.
Here’s what he’s saying:
Pierre Allen and Barry Turner will develop into the North’s best pair of defensive ends. Of course, they should probably thank Ndamukong Suh for that. But the fact that Suh will command a lot of double-team blocks inside will mean that Allen and Turner will face single-team blocking outside on almost every play. That sounds like a recipe for production from one of the conference’s best and balanced pass rushes — and the key to Nebraska’s overall defensive improvement.
I must say, I’m looking forward to some dominant play from the Blackshirts.
