When he was at nebraska, he played like a 5* if he had a clean pocket (like many college qbs), but if you could get him off of his spot and make him have to move in the pocket, or out of the pocket, he became decidedly below average. It's one reason we beat them @Neb 2 years ago (and why we struggled last year, when we couldn't get any pressure).
However, we haven't been great at pressuring qb's with our 4 DL* and have needed to bring blitzers to get pressure most of the time. Sammy O and Jalen Woods are going to have to be everywhere in this game.
* one thing we have seen is that in the 4th quarter, our DL has done better at getting pressure with just 4, but our LBs still lead us in sacks. Also, we did better v. Maryland at this, but... Maryland.
