Episode Details

Nebraska’s defense needs a major overhaul, especially on the pass rush—last year’s top sack artist managed just three. Enter 2026: the Cornhuskers are reloading with three key defenders poised to change the game. Owen Chambliss, a tackling machine from SDSU with four sacks, could become a breakout sack threat under new coaching. Jahsear Whittington, a transfer with powerful hands, might be unleashed as a specialized pass-rusher despite his size limitations. And Williams Nwaneri, a big, highly-touted recruit who quietly racked up 2.5 sacks as a freshman, is primed for a breakout season with more help up front. Together, they’re set to turn Nebraska’s defensive line into a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks.
