Nebraska Defensive Line Film Breakdown: Run Defense & Front Four

Despite facing the number one rushing offense in college football, Nebraska’s defensive front executed an absolute clinic in trench warfare and line of scrimmage control. In this Nebraska VOCFB breakdown, we detail how defensive coordinator Rob Aurich’s defensive line shut down Indiana’s ground attack to a microscopic 2.3 yards per carry. When star run-stuffer Riley Van Poppel went down, true freshman Dylan Berymon and Mason Goldman stepped into pivotal reps and controlled the line of scrimmage alongside interior anchor Owen Meyer. We compare the front four’s aggressive, downhill brand of physical football to previous defensive schemes, breaking down why Nebraska’s defensive line has vaulted into one of the most formidable, disruptive units in the Big Ten.
