With Diaco and I truly believe D Williams as good as a recruiter he is, I just read an article that said when asked if he were to rank his coaching and recruiting 1-5...he said coaching is 1...2....3...4....and recruiting was 5... if he is this focused on the coaching part he really is the real deal.. the whole package and worth every penny... just overall stoked about seeing the Defense return to dominance this year.. @Tuco Salamanca I know you've been touting this I'm on board and bought in! Gonna be fun watching these men work!! GBR

I have always believed that the way back to the very top for Nebraska is through a dominant defense. Suh's 2009 defense proved that to be true. If we had just had somewhat of a decent offense we likely would have beat Iowa State and Virginia Tech and competed for a shot at the National Title. I hope Diaco gets us to that place.

I believe the defense is trending in the right direction. I like the hires of D Williams and Diaco. I don't know that the defense has the pieces to be top 10 this season, but I believe there are enough pieces in place to where we could see improvement even though they are putting in a new system.

One thing I do know is that the defense is what needs to get better if we are going to make a run at division, conference and national titles.

I'm excited as well. I think half the battle is getting the players to believe in the coach and themselves, and from how the players have responded to Diaco so far, you can tell they're confident. The tackling needs to improve instantly. I'm tired of our players missing easy tackles and not laying wood.
