Nebraska’s football team opens its second week of fall camp today. As week one wrapped up last Friday, defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said this season the Huskers defense needs to get a few more sacks and turnovers.

“If we can get another sack a game, another turnover a game…and I thought we did a good job of intercepting the ball last year (but) we didn’t get enough punch-outs and enough fumble recoveries so we’re really concentrating on that as we start fall camp here,” Chinander said.

Nebraska’s defense lost a four-star recruit for next season yesterday, when edge rusher Ashley Williams decommitted from NU. Williams, who had just pledged to the Huskers on July 10, cited “recent events” and a “lapse in communication” in a tweet announcing he was decommitting.
