Coach Pelini praises senior defensive end for talents

by Colin Murphy

Coach Pelini's defense is expected to be one of the best in the country again this season. And, through fall camp, Coach said one senior is ready to explode on the scene this season.

Senior defensive end Pierre Allen started 13 games a year ago for the Huskers.

He had five sacks and 12 tackles for loss in 2009.

Nebraska Defensive tackle Jared Crick is the Preseason Big 12 defensive player of the year.

But, Coach Bo said Pierre is determined to be seen as one of the best in 2010.

The Huskers open the season up on Saturday night at Memorial stadium against Western Kentucky.

Coach Pelini will address the media Tuesday and News 5 will be there.
