LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — No. 8 Nebraska has made changes at three of the four positions in the secondary in preparation for No. 7 Wisconsin on Saturday night.
Corey Cooper replaced Andrew Green at right cornerback after having never played the position.
Alfonzo Dennard, who missed the first three games with a leg injury, has taken over for Ciante (SEE-on-TAY) Evans at left cornerback.
Daimion Stafford started at nickel back for the first time, and P.J. Smith took over Stafford’s spot at strong safety.
Defensive coordinator Carl Pelini says the changes give Nebraska size to counter Wisconsin’s big receivers.
