The Huskers only managed 14 points against Rutgers. But the defense made it stick. Ceyair Wright was a big part of that with an interception. So was Buschini and both players were seen practicing in Blackshirts this week according to Sean Callahan of Husker Online.


It’s well-deserved for both players. Wright has been fantastic since coming off the bench against Illinois. Callahan also reports that Wright is working with the starters, alongside Tommi Hill. That would move Marques Buford to the slot and possibly Malcolm Hartzog to the bench, although he would still see plenty of snaps.

As it should be. Love Buford and thought he did an admirable job but he isn't a CB. He's much better fit at that safety and Hertzog imo isn't in the ball park at CB as Wright and Hill. I'm hoping we can be a bit more flexible and play some more man with these two on the field at the same time.

Let’s all hope that Hill can play the whole game.
 
Pretty proud moment for Boom. Not often a punter gets a Blackshirt... Has there ever? I'm certain there has but admittedly idk.

In a way, the punter is a part of defence essentially. Hold the field then flip it as best as possible to be conducive to the offense going out with favorable odds to score themselves.

My freshman son who plays corner watched the Rutgers game and was picking apart Buford’s footwork during the game. Now to be fair his cousin plays in the league and the kid has spent a lot of time drilling technique. But still - he’s 14.

That indicates the Nebraska secondary coach isn’t good at what he does if his players have poor technique.

Agree, but should add that he’s also been making his share of tackles….
which should never be necessary considering there’s 10 other guys to make the play ahead of him.

Butler just got here in time for fall camp & Buford is a Junior with a few bad habits give it time. I've been pretty impressed with Butler in his short time here and am excited to watch what he can do with these guys. Ceyair is a prime example who has benefited, Butler will get much better too if he listens to Butler and applies himself
