News and Quotes From Nebraska's Second Practice of Fall Camp

Defense was the focus of talk from coaches and players after Tuesday morning's Nebraska football practice, the second of preseason camp.

Defensive coordinator Tony White White said “everything is daily” with respect to competition and reps at various positions.

“Daily competition, daily rotation,” White said. “We’ve got some guys moving from red to black and black to red with the ‘A’ team and with the ‘B’ team. We’re constantly moving guys around. We want to reward guys who do it the right way and do it well, and we want to make sure that we send a message to guys that if you're not going to do it the way it's supposed to be done, you're not going to play.”

Defensive line coach Terrance Knighton remarked about his players' physical improvement since the end of spring ball: "Our skinny guys are gaining weight and our big guys are losing weight. We've got young guys who have gained 20 or 30 pounds in two or three months and we've got big guys who've lost 10 or 15 pounds and gained muscle mass."
