Diaco's defense after week 4

[HuskerinBig10]

Illinois Total Offense is rated 120 Illinois doesn't have an identity

Nebraska did stuff the Rutgers rushing attack.

Playing anemic offenses is really helping. I am hoping this allows the team to figure things out, because on October 7 it starts to get real.

For most of NIU and Rutgers we were in a 4 man front vs the horrid prevent Hail Mary set, it didn't help having both starting Safties out last weekend but Diaco is starting to match personnel better and giving them more game by game, only a few guys have earned the right to blitz just yet. The more games they play Diaco will tune them up. So far, it's been quite a welcome change seeing a defense progress, exactly the opposite of the offense
