The Nebraska Cornhuskers suffered a tough loss to Ohio State. Now, they host the UCLA Bruins in an interesting Big Ten battle in Lincoln.
Ahead of the game, Nebraska offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield shared his thoughts on the UCLA defense, and he shared some kind words, per Evan Bredeson of Cornhuskers Wire.
“I think their record is very deceiving because they’ve played some really good teams. They have the same record against common opponents as we have. You watch them on defense, they’re very long, they’re very athletic, they’re physical. They can cause some headaches. We’re trying to figure out what they do, especially on third down, but it’s just a really impressive defensive unit as far as team speed, physicality and athleticism that you see on tape.”
The UCLA team in general has had a brutal schedule, although recent games against Minnesota and Rutgers have been a breath of fresh air compared to Penn State, Oregon, and so forth.
Still, even despite UCLA’s losing record, the Nebraska OC is not taking them for granted.
