Nebraska switched to the three-three stack defense in the 2023 season, which consists of three defensive linemen, three linebackers, and five defensive backs.
The defense allows for flexibility in the passing game without having to switch out personnel, and it can bring pressure from different angles.
Throughout the season, Nebraska made adjustments to their defensive look, including walking up the Jack linebacker and using a 4-2-5 shell while staying in the three-three personnel.
The defense also transitioned from primarily zone coverage to more man-to-man looks, which kept the offense guessing and allowed for better coverage.
The Nebraska defense is expected to maintain a similar look in the upcoming season, with potential adjustments based on the opponent and game situations.
