Red Report: What impresses Lincoln Riley about the Huskers; CBs to be tested; Prochazka sees TDs | Football





Nebraska defensive coordinator Erik Chinander speaks after practice on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021.







Big test for CBs: Just about everybody on Nebraska’s defense will be tested by Oklahoma’s offense, but the cornerbacks might be near the top of the list.

Against Buffalo, Nebraska showed a little bit more three-corner look with Braxton Clark joining starters Cam Taylor-Britt and Quinton Newsome on the field. Clark has gotten reps each of the past two weeks and gives NU what they feel like is essentially a third starter. And one who stands 6-4 at that.

“Quinton is playing some good football and he’s working his tail off every day,” secondary coach Travis Fisher said this week. “Braxton is coming in right now, you’re starting to see more of Braxton in these football games and he’s doing a good job as well.”

“Braxton had a good day of practice today and he’s coming along really well,” defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said Tuesday. “Coach ‘Fish’ has done a great job with him. I like where he’s heading and he’s got a bright future.”

Moving on up: Nebraska freshman left tackle Teddy Prochazka has moved up the depth chart to No. 2 behind Turner Corcoran. As a newcomer, he started from the bottom.

Actually, he’s still in the basement in at least one way.

“Me and (freshman offensive lineman Henry Lutovksy), we were roommates back in the suites and now we live with Broc (Bando), Matt Sichterman, Hunter Miller and Levi Falck,” Prochazka said Monday. “We share the basement. So you know, we kind of hold it down there. Keep it clean, obviously.”
