The Nebraska senior inside linebacker wants desperately to prove the prognosticators right. He hungers for the Huskers to win the Big Ten West Division and get a crack at the East champion in December in Indianapolis. But he isn’t about to make a lot of puffed-chest predictions. It’s not his style. And it would be ridiculous for him to do so considering the Huskers’ issues on defense the past couple seasons.
Bravo. Preach on. Barry gets it. If every player understood the big picture like Barry, the world would be a better place. I appreciate Barry so much that I almost didn’t want to ask him about a statistic that a writer who covers Wisconsin tweeted Thursday morning.
