>>Nebraska’s young defense is ready, said junior safety Corey Cooper. He thinks the 2013 unit will be faster than the 2012 bunch, as well. Which positions?
“All of them,” Cooper said. “The depth chart is athletic from the front end to the back end.”
>>Pelini said true freshmen Cethan Carter, Nate Gerry, Josh Banderas, Terrell Newby, Kevin Maurice and Maliek Collins will play this season. Adam Taylor is believed to be in that mix, as well, to burn his redshirt. Look for freshman linebacker Courtney Love to redshirt, mostly because he missed so much camp due to a hamstring injury. Pelini said Love will be a top player down the road.
Pelini cited junior Zaire Anderson, sophomore David Santos and redshirt freshmen Michael Rose and Jared Afalava as players who have made jumps.
