They are glaring statistics, and certainly not the type a defensive coordinator desires.
Nebraska has recorded only one sack in two games against opponents who combined to throw 101 passes.
The new leader of the Blackshirts, coordinator Bob Diaco, maintains a sense of patience, mindful this is the players' first year in his 3-4 system.
"We're doing everything we can to try to help facilitate a growing, maturing, developing coverage," Diaco said after Tuesday's practice. "And that's a balance of some pressure, some four-man rush and some three-man rush."
Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, in a 42-35 win against Nebraska last weekend in Eugene, Oregon, too often had ample time in the pocket.
