Nebraska Defense Learns Fast | Nebraska Cornhuskers Football News

Nebraska’s defense stumbled to a shocking start with an 68-yard TD on the opening play against Ohio, but rallied to shut down the Buckeyes for most of the game. New DC Coach Aurich demands fearless, full-speed play—even if it means missed tackles—because trust and effort trump perfection. DB Donovan Jones admits early mistakes need fixing, but credits Aurich for empowering players to channel personal struggles into fuel on the field. He also says that playing a tough opener actually helped the team grow and prepare for the season ahead, thanks in part to leader Rex Guthrie’s pre-game fire. Off the field, Jones’ family juggles his games with his brother’s, switching this week so his mom watches his brother and dad comes to see him—chaos they call a blessing.
