The Good: Ross Dzuris

The defensive lineman came into fall camp as a long shot to be a starter. He played well enough during camp that he quickly became someone the coaching staff decided they could lean on.

    • It seems as if the trust they put in Dzuris was well founded. The Nebraska football defensive line had some problems getting pressure early in the game but as the contest wore on Dzuris stepped up.

    Over the course of the game, the defensive lineman recorded six tackles, three for a loss, while also getting two sacks. Not only that, but his play seemed to help out the rest of the pass rush.

    As the game went on, Chason Virgil and Zach Cline found themselves having to get on the run and had less time in the pocket than during the beginning of the game. His performance was one of the reasons the Huskers went into the half with just a four point lead and then outscored the Bulldogs 29-0 in the second half.

    Considering the Huskers spent the off-season wondering how they were going to replace the losses on the d-line. Dzuris took a big step towards showing the cupboard isn’t quite bare.
