The Pelini brothers have a difficult task this off-season: how do you replace one of the most dynamic defensive lineman to ever play the game? How do you come back after losing a living legend? The Huskers will have to find a way to rebound in 2010 after losing the unquestioned leader of the blackshirts. After racking up a truckload of end of season awards including Perfect Attendance, the Spirit Award, and Most Improved, Barry “Medium Strength” Turner has graduated and leaves a medium sized hole in the defensive line.

Bo Pelini has emphasized that the defense could actually be better next year than the dominant force that ranked among the top in the nation last year. No matter how positive Bo Pelini is, the question still hangs above the team, can they be better without Barry Turner? Yeah, probably.
