The Nebraska defense had a final five minutes to forget in its loss to Northwestern.
While many are quick to point out the flaws in the Huskers defensive play, coordinator Erik Chinander says he likes the direction the Blackshirts are heading in.
"They're getting really close, that's encouraging. I'm going to keep going with this team," Chinander said. "This team is very close. We have wins on the horizon and it seems like we are finally turning the corner in practice and meetings and the culture of the team right now."
