Brian Stewart has coached defensive backs for 17 seasons. He's been in the coaching business — both college and the NFL — for nearly a quarter-century.
Has the first-year Nebraska secondary coach ever been part of a season like this one, with five losses by a combined 13 points?
"Never," he said.
Even for a veteran coach, the season has been a learning experience.
"More and more, as the season progresses, I really want wins for the kids, because I just see them busting their butts — 100 percent effort every single play, every single day," Stewart said.
