Under New Coordinator Rob Aurich, the Blackshirts Appear Primed for a Turnaround

After Rob Aurich was hired as Nebraska’s new defensive coordinator, I went back and watched several San Diego State games to study the defense he’s bringing to

As typical, another well reasoned and researched article. I remain very hopeful of a solid defense that will be tested next season. I also like the new coaches who have solid resumes of success and some of the men they brought in.
 
I’ve actually been rewatching some of the games from last year. Northwestern, Maryland, and Michigan State. Even though we won those games, the deficiencies in the defense were glaring. Hard to believe we were so “solid” on paper in many areas but so porous on the field. Hopefully, the new staff can come up with a plan to shore this up that matches our players’ strengths. With a seasoned and apparently talented AND mobile QB for the offense, we may just be surprised (in a good way for a change) of what the team could be capable of.

I just think we played an “NFL style” defense … bend don’t break. Avoid the long pass play. I also think our former defensive secondary coach turned defensive coordinator also leaned towards protecting his guys.

This was such a wrong strategy especially with a young untested inexperienced defensive line.

In a conference where stopping the run is paramount it’s like Barney Fife developed our defensive gameplan.

I like the idea of stacking the LB room, guys with speed, guys with toughness. Guys who can rush the passer or drop into coverage.
