the Huskers have a good chance at a top 10 D-line this season

It was 9-4.
Before last year, Texas' best record in the last 10 years was......10-4.

not as good as Texas in Rushing defense, but yards per rush aren't too bad  better than Iowa(which might surprise some folks)

of course, the big stat is that they bring back the entire deep chart of their D-line



along with the D-coordinator and D-line coach

One aspect of a good statistical defense is having a ball control offense on the field with few TOs.  Another aspect is how deep you are, if your 2s are almost as good as your 1s, you'll at least have a fresh defense that won't be tired.

I was a bit surprised to see the Dawgs relatively low in that "ranking", but whatever.  They have a lot of "D" returning, and their 2s play a lot.

another aspect is to play a slate of Big Ten West teams that struggle with offense

the Husker's offense wasn't good at controlling the ball - TOP - or scoring TDs

it was good at turning the ball over to the opponent.
