Nebraska defensive coordinator Tony White knows Saturday’s opponent, Colorado, is bringing an explosive offense to Lincoln.

Meeting with reporters Tuesday, White said the Huskers are doing a little more seven-on-seven drills in practice this week to get his defensive players in “more space-oriented situations.”

He was asked about the challenge of covering Colorado receiver Travis Hunter. “He’s a special talent,” White said. “He’s the best two-way player, one of the best athletes in the country, there ain’t no way to sugar-coat that….He’s a playmaker no matter where (the Buffaloes) put him. It’ll be a challenge to the (Huskers) defense and we’ve got to make sure we’re ready to go.”

Saturday’s kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. The pregame starts at 2:30 p.m. on News Talk 900 KJSK. It will be joined at 6 p.m. on 93.5 The Hawk.
