## Resource

Nebraska’s defense is getting a major overhaul for 2026, swapping its three-three-five scheme for a four-two-five to fix run-stopping woes while keeping its pass defense strong. With new coordinator Rob Aurich, the Huskers are adding more defensive linemen, two linebackers, and a hybrid LBDB role — all filled by a mix of transfers, freshmen, and returning stars. Key additions include sack-machine Owen Chambliss, rising star Williams Nwaneri, and versatile newcomers like Dawson Merritt and Dexter Foster. With Matt Rhule’s most talented roster yet, the real test is whether this new scheme can turn talent into wins. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
